Vladislav Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Tim, fantastic scenaries!As for the river I was going to say it's a highway until I saw Toyota.So I changed my mind and would say "too attractive area to off-road" Those Nissans Safary/Patrol were tough cars.My favorit model of all Patrols ever made.
