Went for a drive today out through a newish track just out of Alice Springs on Owen Springs Station. Very pretty drive through Lawrence Gorge. The track was easy and apart from some soft sand in the Hugh River, an easy drive. On the way back my mate Bill, who very kindly let me drive his Rangie Auto, showed the way to what he callsthe Nutcracker hill. It is a bit of a jump up over a steep hill and scalloped out badly. This '89 Range Rover Vogue Auto just crawled up the hill effortlessly using low range 1st and having the auto centre difflock in operation. Not having driven a RR offroad before I was suitably impressed. Engine braking down the hill wasn't too bad either.

Now I wonder if my proposed (purchase)Nissan GQ Turbo Diesel Auto would be so profiecient in this kind of country?
Cheers,Willem
