Bush65 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm on dial-up, so didn't download you vids. You seem to be impling that some of the roads are rough. Then you won't like some of the highways, eg Old Gunbarrel Highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The sand road in what looks like a desert which winds through the bush and has no tarmac but speed limits signs and bend ahead etc. What I could do with a safari comp truck on roads like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Nice videos, Ali. Its superb roads like this still exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 What I could do with a safari comp truck on roads like that Probably not a lot. 90 percent of the world seems to be covered by roads lilke this. Locals don't drive comp safari speced cars and still get from A to B. They just don't feel the urge to rush :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 post a couple of still pics up - so those of us without BB can see what its like probably look a bit like the roads here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't feel the urge to rush :-) I'm just a petrol head and you don't get roads like that in the UK and there are too many tree huggers around to let you have fun on green lanes in the uk. If its 50km long you don't have to drive it flat out just a little faster than the norm is good enough for me. Ali if I come and join you to live in Aus there should be work as a Civil Eng Do you think they would make my two British champ class wining cars welcome in there Baja series.
