Every time I go to replace my SVX I don't.

Well pretty soon you guys will have to add a 400,000 mile section as its getting close. Every now and then I get P off at fixing bits on the SVX, then I comper it to the cost of keeping all the other cars in our company going and I decide the SVX is cheap.

Over the last 6 months I have looked to see if its time to move on, buy a new car, replace the SVX god for give I am even thnking about it. When I look around there is not car I want to buy to replace it at any price. My problem mybe a bit different but I drive it around the centre of Australia, all over our farms, tow other cars out of bog holes and it never misses a beat.

Okay so I hear everyone going don't be stupid you can buy a Toyota Landcruiser for the job. No I can't the centre of gravity is to high and out here people roll them all the time and when you do roll them you get killed, not just hurt,killed dead. I also want to get from A to B a bit faster I am impatient bastard and have a lot of ground to cover before I die, I don't want to watch the grass grow on the side of the road.

So then what about smaller fourwheel drives, they don't make one as tough as the SVX, just look around the centre of Australia and see how many sports cars are out there (Zero) are four wheel drive or as tough as mine. The next problem when I do long run of 1,500k on dirt and I get out of the car I don't feel like I just competed in a trialation, did 10 rounds in the ring. The SVX handles like a dream you are not fighting it every second of your life.

So will it get replaced, well one day maybe but it wont be in the near future I still got that 500,000 to break and a lot more desert dunes to climb.

Have a great day all.
