A few of you know that I was buying a new (old) car from Adelaide. Well got a very exciting call this morning to say it was here already ( wasn't due until wednesday ). Went and picked it up and is currently parked at work.

Looks like a pretty ordinary Brumby...

It's a bit higher than standard, maybe it's got some mods ....

What? that doesn't look like a standard brumby engine what's going on?

Subaru Brumby with full WRX engine and gearbox ( dual range AWD ) transplant ... The fastest Kayak transport vehicle money can buy :D

oooo sneaky...wolf in brumbies clothing, nice! How do you get on insurance wise...is it a brumby or a wrx:dry: ;)

Rocket

That's an excellent question!

It's a brumby with 'modifications'. It's all engineered and blue plated so it's road legal which is the main thing. I insure my cars through Shannons who are very understanding about modded cars.

oooh yeah, it's a beast at the beach, nothing better for beach driving than light and powerful.

Fixed for accuracy. Although I'm sure the prado is great for dropping the kids off at soccer mate :)

Im not going to comment on Real 4wd cause i might just need him to tow me out sometime. I never underestimate a suberu. However i know i will not be towed out by a red Pajero cause its not allowed to go off road.

Nice new car Mate look forward to see you abuse it.

Those videos were at a spot out behind redbank plains, I don't think it's accessible anymore.

Pajero's always remind me of that DAAS skit that I can't really repeat on here, but one of the lines was "Pink and Purple Pajero family wagon, driving around the vulvic col-de-sac."

Know a bloke in Yeppoon who has a WRX STI motor in a beatup old VW combi ute. Only thing that give it away at the lights is the fans!

unfortunately she's not mine,, some dude in kiwi land built it. if you look up stiatv on the net you might even get some video. the website www.stiatv.co.nz doesnt seem to be working anymore.

p.s. saw a suby wagon out at kallangur with what looked like 16" split rims (aka old cruiser) and a heap of mud to match. looked pretty cool with the big wheels.

I now own a new prado and a surf but have owned a forester and a 3.0l outback (all had there share of sand and dirt), I have every respect for what these things can do on the beach, yours will go like a dune buggy.
