    Really good stuff, great to see them being used.Your van is a credit to you. Many year's ago when I had my ute it spent a lot of time on unsealed road's, was in it's element.

    Cheers.

    A great survivor that gets used!

    Congratulations on actually using your van and not treating it like a Ferrari.

    I went looking for a good fishing spot today with a mate in my van and we went up one of the local dirt roads, tailgate open and dust flying everywhere.

    I thought for a moment....."What am I doing????!!!! This will take hours to clean"

    And as if on cue, my mate said "Man, this is FUN, I wish I had a van like this."

    That's what I was doing..... having FUN. Carwash is cheap.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    Great looking van! Nice work! I'm wondering if those photos were taken with digital camera, or is it film? The exposure and focus is superb even in the background, truly an excellent shot.

    Love the tyre tracks just showing off from the rear wheels too, - I agree it could easily be a Holden advertisement, very nice to the eye.

    It was shot with a PENTAX Optio S10 which is a an Ultracompact 10 megapixel Digital camera released in 2007.

    Cool!! I'm gonna look that up now, (not that I could afford one atm), thanks for the information Innuendo. I imagine the camera operator had to have just a bit of skill as well (what a shot).

    It is a great shot
    Looking at the data it appears to be framed by the shooter but the camera did the rest of the work.

    Yeh just the wifes camera but a magic shot. I like creek crossing pics so sometimes send the wife out to grab a pic, this is one taken last weekend ...



    This is the view I get ... this was another of our creek crossings last weekend. The good thing about old steel cars is you can take them anywhere and bring them back in one piece. Built for Aussie conditions!

    my bro used his HZ kinga 253 as a 4WD. it got down some tracks in search of waves that mild 4WDs had trouble with. Must be something about weight distribution as he never had trouble keeping the power down with minimal wheel spin

    Here's an idea....

    A thread with action shots of your van being used! Taken from inside, outside, whatever.
