A Note From The Editor

Peter Phillpotts from UK just started an interesting discussion about the idea of an off road race in Iceland. Similar ideas have of course come up although nothing of the sort has been done yet. If you are interested in such a race or have other valuable insights go ahead and have your say about the Iceland "Baja 1000" off road race.

	Moab with the Hummer Club 2008 The landscape in Moab, Utah U.S.A. looks like what you might imagine the surface of Mars looks like, featuring red-rock cliffs, arches and jutting formations that have been impossibly carved out by water over time. Despite the label “slick rock,” the sandstone rock surface that lies under foot and tire provides a remarkably good grip...
	Suzuki Festival When you say Suzuki, you think Grand Vitara, going out on the weekend to the family home which is on a road that's slightly rough, or a barbecue in the forest. But among the few off road lovers, a Suzuki, be it a Samurai, a Vitara or a Jimny is a treasure if modified and cared for properly.
