@Neptune: last Saturday I saw REAL 4x4-cars, not just lookalike-show-SUV's, which are useless on outdoor-tracks.
It was on the ferry back from the Faroe-Islands, which came from Iceland. There the summer- and tourism-saison is ending, so several tour-organisators are coming back now (they are from many European countries). My Omega has shared the deck with real hardcore-4x4's. Many Land Rover's, "pimped" for the Icelandic glaciers and gravel-tracks, so with "balloon-tires" and high cabins with slanted backs, very similar to the conversions for Sahara-tourists. The others were Mercedes and Puch G, Landcruiser's, Unimogs, a 4x4-Mercedes truck from the 70ies, where the cabin was coming from a GDR-army-truck, Nissan Navara, etc.
The smallest 4x4 was a Suzuki SJ from the 80ies (Samurai in America). And some Swedish mountainbike-freaks had an old military Volvo-truck (model
)
), which looks a bit similar as a oversized Puck Pinzgauer.
Sorry, but there was no Ford Expedition between them.
I was thinking about you later on again - I saw for the first time a Cadillac Escalade with German plates.
I thought a bit about its fuel consumption, when he passed me with over 180 km/h.
