Mercedes G-Wagens not up to the CSR

It was partially a test to see if the vehicles would stand up to what they did with them.

They found out the gear wasnt up to it. Were only upset about having to hire the plane.
Guess Mercedes could afford it and have modified the vehicles after assessing what happened.

Notably the modified one stood up to it so I guess nowadays the rest will also.

Isn't there a tour group using them at the moment. Can't recall the name but I got their schedule and made sure we were well clear of them.

Ooops I should have read further down. That's then in the next post.

I guess that's cheaper than taking your own G-Wagen.
If something on your G-Wagen broke on the Route, you could easily be up for a $9,995 bill to fix it!

So, if the trip includes fares from Newman-Perth, then they aren't doing the whole route?
They're just doing the Northern section?
I guess they start at Halls Creek? Do the "tour-ees" have to find their own way to the start point?
That's a pretty expensive tour for a shortened tour, and having only one air fare.
That's nearly $625 a day. Hmmm, well I guess they'll get a few Euro people who want to see the real Outback with no major loss of comforts.

I read an article where a German couple were on their SIXTH tour of the Kimberley coastline on True North.
At $17,995 a trip, I guess it means they were merely spending a little petty cash left over from his bank CEO retirement package!

They do the whole CSR, a friend of mine runs one of the vehicles.
