I enjoy this type of thread because not only do we get to know a little more about our Ozbow mates, we might also learn a thing or two.
Anyway, I'll start the ball rolling .......
I chose to buy a Suzuki Vitara for my primary hunting vehicle. I chose this brand and model for a few different reasons. I didn't have all that much money to spend, but I did want a 4WD, secondhand Suzuki's are nowhere near as expensive as full sized 4WDs.
I wanted a vehicle that was reasonably cheap to run and the little Suzuki is very economical with petrol consumption. I use the Suzi to commute to and from work so I do a fair few kilometers in it. Usually I usually hunt either by myself or with a mate, so space isn't really a problem. In fact, I took the Suzuki up to North West NSW recently pig hunting and it fitted all the camping gear and paraphernalia for two of us for nearly a week. It wasn't overpacked.
It has a nice smooth ride, well as smooth as it can be with the wheels so close together. Its got air-conditioning and a good stereo.
Most importantly, my little Suzuki is very capable off-road. Last year I decided to go down a different track to access a different part of my red deer hunting country. It was in State Forest. I wanted to get there well before sunrise, so I turned off my usual track onto the track I thought would take me to my destination. All was well initially at least, however the track deteriorated quickly into something little more than a game trail. Cautiously, I kept going. The track gradually started to head down into the valley where I wanted to go. At first the gradient was shallow, but it slowly got steeper and steeper. I thought to myself "this is getting too steep, I'll pull up", so I started to gently brake, but the wheels just slid in the mud and grass. Oh well I might as well have steering, so I just kept going, I couldn't do anything else anyway. In the headlights at the bottom of the hill I could see water and lots of it. As I got closer, I could see it was the river that ran through the valley. There was nothing I could do but just keep going. I hit the water hard. Water came up and over the windscreen before it washed back down. The little Suzuki waddled through the metre deep water and up the steep bank on the other side where there was a small flat clearing. I climbed out. I was a little shaky. I was miles from anywhere. I thought I might as well go and have a look around before tackling the seemingly impossible track out. Anyway, after a successful day of hunting (saw a few), I doubting climbed back into the Suzi and turned around, splashed through the stream and waddled with spinning the wheels and crabbing sideways one way and then the other up the very steep hillside. I couldn't believe it. I'd made it. It was that steep I could bearly walk up it. The Suzi is very off road capable!
Anyway, what do you drive and is it any good?
