One of these puppies pulled into the day use area (when there isn't a camper parked there) at Nitinat today:

A couple from Switzerland had it shipped to Halifax for the tortuous trek across Canada. Man (pun) that thing would withstand a full on Warthog attack! Unreal vehicle.

nope, he's always asked for over 100k, checked on this thing a year back, pretty cool but a bit over the top for kiting or windsurfing, ski touring on the other hand....but even then too wide for our narrow overgrown logging roads :roll: an import 4x4 is still the best bet for that :idea:

Narrow overgrown logging road - quad will go where no 4x4 will. And a Ute will go to almost anywhere a quad can and still carry a load (mine is rated 1/2 ton). I do have a thing for Unimogs though. They were the most extreme offroad vehicle you could get in the mid 60s when there was one in the little mining town I grew up in - it always had a circle of admiring kids around it. Those extreme campers might be actually useful in Africa or central Asia, but I bet most people who have imported them here never get anywhere more extreme than a mainline logging road.

I believe a good kite surfing vehicle should represent one’s state of mind.

Brilliant! That picture captures the energy/mental state of the frenetic drive to the beach perfectly for most wind addicts. New Bigwavedave logo? :lol:
