On the road in their G-Wagon since 1989
Former airline executive Gunther Holtorf and his wife Christine left Germany in their Mercedes G-Wagon, bound for an 18-month tour of Africa but somehow, they kept on going and even after covering 500,000 miles, 74 years old Gunther, his wife and the G-Wagon are still going on strong without any sponsorship or factory but self-funded. On the road since 1989 and G-Wagen moves them on even today without any serious break down. And you know what, your exotic G63 or 65 would make them financially broke within days and would never move on. The olden W461 280 G-wagens were the …
Islamabad Jeep Club sets up summer camp 2012 at Mahodand Lake
IJCians have always had a very special spot for northern areas of Pakistan. This year again, when the weather started getting warmer, plans were being discussed to head north for our annual summer camp. Several venues were discussed for IJC summer camp and we were almost decided, when we got a call from the army personnel stationed in Kalam inviting IJC to the Swat Summer Festival (12th – 16th July) and asked us to hold a small event at Lake Mahodand. IJC has been in touch with army since the floods of 2010. Initially in connection with flood relief, when …
Tata Safari converted into Moon Rover Evoque
Auto analysts argued that the step to buy British Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar by Tata was not a good one, although we have yet to realize why the auto analysts said that but apparently, it had something to do with this. Why spend billions of dollars on buying a whole company when you can make a Tata Safari look just like the new, hot selling Range Rover Evoque. Delhi based auto tuner ‘Big Daddy Customs’ goes on to prove exactly that point by transforming a normal, Tata Safari into a Range Rover Evoque. The tuning kit includes an …

Unofficial Land Rover concept is how we want the next Land Rover
Land Rover is working quite enthusiastically to bring the all-new icon of the 4×4 world however, they haven’t been quite successful with the concept DC100 as it did make headlines throughout the auto media, none of which seemed quite optimistic in it’s success. The DC100 is outrageous as it is everything futuristic but lack the fundamentals of the long and lasting LR. The Dezyn Smith as he likes to refer to himself, dreams up the next LR and does a better job than the folks at LR design studio. This design packs up the fundamentals of LR and is in …

Watch a Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol hoon in the Qatari Desert
Shot in the mesmerizing ‘Khor-al-Udeid’ desert which lies between Qatar and Saudia Arabia. It’s very rare to come across such a well produced video of these Sheikhs hooning their 4x4s in the desert. This is one such instance when these Qatari guys decided to head off in the desert and produce this video to promote the beauty that their country behold. A Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol are driven with breath taking control and questionable judgment as on some scenes (2:00), it seems as if these guys had a death wish. Nonetheless, this is a surprisingly well produced video which …

Getting stuck because we like it
Freeways, highways, better urban road infrastructure was built to avoid getting stuck but we still do and it is annoying, frustrating, disturbing, boils up tempers – essentially, road rage is an exhibit of people being stuck in either slower traffic or one that moves none at all. Than there are folks who hunt for places to get stuck, it is considered the most fundamental part of the sport. How much experience, knowledge and skill you have is not judge on how well you avoid getting stuck in a terrain – but it is judged when you start digging your way …
