altezzaclub Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well, today my mate who's house I work on is trading in his old Feral Landcruiser for a flash new Isuzu 4WD. He's keen to take his camper trailer up to Lake Eyre in September and take a look (He's a geologist/botanist/environmentalist, so he'll enjoy it) He & his wife would like my wife & I to go too, but I don't have a use for a 4WD at all, certainly not a ute. Its just another $1000/year rego/insurance sitting in the drive depreciating unless its being driven. So, I dredged up the story from Topgear below, watched episode one, and decided I won't learn a lot as the whole thing is so faked. Has anyone been up there and is a 2WD or a Tercel likely to make it?? The KE70 is probably a bit small overall for us and luggage and all 1300cc of it, so really I've got The White Whale, a Skyline type Pintara wagon to take. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/45979-ke25-on-top-gear-australia/page__st__45 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42943-corolla-on-top-gear-australia/page__hl__topgear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 No not personally. A mate of mine Ended up stranded heading out there from Roxby a few years back, he broke a front end somehow. They were pretty lucky they got located after a day or two, could have ended up badly. That was in an 80 series. I'm suggesting a 4wd would be wise.
