i did over 700kms in the zook over easter and about half of that was on dirt roads and alot in low range. The seat is a bit uncomfy but mine has colapsed on the drivers side.

I drove from Sydney to Maitland once. Blew a Uni on the rear shaft about 5km's from home, suddenly the rest of the trip didn't seem quite so bad. :lol:

Sounds good.
Big worry off my mind, especially after hearing about the distances Moose has travelled :)
Got the loud stereo and comfy seats. Wouldn't mind putting 31s on, but I'll see how I go!
Think the biggest thing is taking it easy...
I think one of the best things is all the money we'll save on fuel!!

dont be so sure on saving fuel... a fully loaded zuk doing 110 isnt the most efficient =) hehe it'd take longer, but 80 is a far better speed.
