New Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain Impresses
By John McCredie After taking the D-Max LSU for a drive last week, this week we are having a drive of the top of the range D-Max X-Terrain. The X-Terrain features coloured guard flares and matching coloured grille. It also has a nicely matched and sleek Aero bar on the back with a roller tooneau cover. The tub also comes lined, but as we’d find out after our off road trip, the roller cover and rear doors are not dust proof and on a dusty road, your gear is going to need a clean once you reach your destination. There’s also a walk away door lock system with remote engine start and keyless start button. We didn’t try the remote engine start, [...]

Then it’s Narooma. Dust up, heads down, send it [...]
Comeback Success in Safari for McCredie and Maude in Holden Jackaroo
After a 20-year break from competitive rally driving, John McCredie and Nick Maude returned to rallying taking on the 2022 Local Legends Sunraysia Safari Cross Country Rally in an ex-Bruce Garland Holden Jackaroo. The 2022 event was shortened significantly due to wet weather, with Day 2 and Day 3 cancelled. The first day of competition started with a 100km stage, followed by the shortened Tarcoola 25km test. The final day was just one stage, but at 232km, it proved to be a real test for drivers and cars. The event was plagued with issues for the OHM productions Holden Jackaroo. Overheating slowed the progress of the team, and on the final day, the overheating saw the team drop over 10 positions on [...]
