Re: Name Of Your Outfit
M/h #1 was a 1982 Mazda 3500 with Jayco prototype body (chassis #6 of 6) which we called "Turtle": it carried its home on its back, and despite a 10-speed split diff, only exceeded 80km/h if we were going downhill with a tailwind!
M/h #2 was a 1989 Coaster with "The Bus" in 16" high letters in both sides, and the same name in the Destination Board up front. We kept the name. We worked out that it had been a Mornington Peninsula (Vic) Community Bus which my M-i-L used to ride. Sentimental attachment.
M/h #3 is a 2003 Winnie Explorer. Up front and on the rear we have a map of Oz surrounding the name, "Our home is... GIRT".
Amazing the people who don't get it!
I've had a lady ask what G.I.R.T. stands for.
When I told her it was part of the lyrics from a song, she asked, "Oh? What song?"
And at Boonah, while inside Girt, I overheard someone on Open Day say,
"I dunno about some of these motorhome names! What the hell is a GIRT?"

Maybe you need to add a very large C around the the Australia outlineM/h #3 is a 2003 Winnie Explorer. Up front and on the rear we have a map of Oz surrounding the name, "Our home is... GIRT".

Nice looking unit. I know what you mean about the 3500 Mazda, although, to it's credit, if the straight is long enough our 3500 bus will get up to 110km/h, a down hill run up first does help though

Re: Name Of Your Outfit
Think you are all liars
We had a 3500 as a greenhouse building truck, genuine legal 7 seater
We would leave a project in Shepparton to come home at the same time
They would drive all night, I would stop in a motel and have a good kip (even though the Hillux was as overloaded as them)
Usually passed them on the Gateway arterial
not the fastest jap truck ever unleashed on th Aussie market !

Drove a 3500 as a tilt tray, useless as a smash truck as it was a day late getting to an accident.
Up graded to an Isuzu and in comparison it was so much quicker it got to the accidents before they happened.

Re: Name Of Your Outfit
After driving a Kombi for 10yrs you get to know how to make them go It does the same km/ltr as the kombi as well, just the fuel is near 3 times the price might have to put LPG on this one as well
