my wife bananas! :D
great vid. thanks for the find guilty

One day I would like to do something similar but not as long lol... I grew up with summer roadtrips...fond fond memories.

The G class was nicely chosen. Rugged, durable, spacious and can hide quite a bit of arsenal in the back for some of the more dangerous places that couple has been to
