We have some pot holes and speed humps like what that had to climb over |

Mikehzz - know what you mean about the scratches V's propensity for for adventurous off-roading. Since my MY11 FL2 was scratched within 30 minutes of buying it, I knew I was going to enjoy off-roading and more scratches, rather than a blessed life in the city. I too, toss up between trading up to a new version, versus running this one even more vigorously through the bush. I have been treating the FL2 pretty rough at work lately, hauling tonne after tonne of dirt, gravel and sand for work. All the staff still love the chance to jump in the FL2 though, and it has come through liker a trooper, bar some dirty seats and mats. To reinforce my satisfaction with the FL2, I borrowed Dad's Toyota Landcruiser the other day for some heavier haulage work and had to travel 4.5hours each way for the pickup. I couldn't wait to get out of the bloody thing - I nearly stopped off to buy a kidney belt! |

I'm leaving on Boxing day for a week in the Vic High Country. I'm sure I will add a few bruises to it down there. I'm planning to do Tom Groggin, Blue Rag, Wonangatta and Billy Goats Bluff. I'll be impressed if I get through that lot. Cheers. |

As soon as I can get this fan-dangled "Work-Life" balance thing happening, I'll be off for a summer trip to the high country. As reported previously, I take an annual trip into the Snowy Mountains and enjoy the snow driving / extreme camping, but I've always wanted to experience the summer months. The wildlife is pretty spectacular in the middle of winter, so I can only imagine how good it would be in summer when many of the animals and birds venture higher up into the alps. Some of the spots you mention Mike sound very familiar and are no doubt places I visited as a kid when we often traveled vast distances on our trials bikes. |

I understand about the work life balance because I run my own business. I only have the 1 week available and was originally going to do Fraser again (10 years since I was there) but it's over 1000 kms away and crowded at this time of year. The High Country is a lot closer and will be cooler at night for sleeping. Wildlife is good unless it wants to crash into me I just hope the river levels are low because there are a stack of crossings. I'm travelling with my son in his Jeep so we can pull each other out if needed. Cheers |

Didn't the Ford Eco-Boost engine fail some of the Australian emissions standards?

I am prepared for the flame war here, but I am not sure that the outside looks better than the 2012? |

Since no metal or glass has changed, the difference is only really noticeable to dedicated enthusiasts )
