    Default Holden Drover Paddock King

    It's a 1980-something Holden Drover aka Suzuki Sierra. Done its time as a paddock basher getting hella sideways until it eventually ended up on its side. Doesn't run quite like it used to... it's still put up with a hell of a lot of abuse, including the more than occasional use as a rally car in the all powerful 4WD MODE

    5-speed? That's pretty high tech for a paddock basher

    go here

    the got sierra setion

    then go consumer reports vs suzuki.

    there was this big thing where this member of the government got fired because he said sierras were not suitable for sale in america because they were prone to roll over, suzuki made the same test people do the same test and proved they couldnt even get the thing to tip up never mind roll. It turned out to be the least likely to roll 4wd in america by a long way.

    Subsequently suzuki sued, got money, dude got fired etc.
