FUNKY JUNKY
Toyota took their time to treat the South African market to a vehicle as boldly out-there as the fiery FJ Cruiser. We got hold of one and found that although it’s not the ideal overlander, it’ll make an entertaining mockery of just about any off-road terrain.

Off-road test: Nissan Patrol 4.8 GRX 60 Adventurer
Monday, 02 January 2012 00:00 Published in Road Tests
LION HEART
Towards the end of last year Nissan celebrated the Patrol’s 60th birthday with the launch of an anniversary model, the Adventurer 60. Aside from a few extras, the Adventurer is basically the same old Patrol it’s always been: stubborn, uncompromising and – according to our technical editor – damn near perfect.
