A Note From The Editor

Our top story this time is not to be missed!

The in-depth interview with Paul Round the owner of Rally Raid International gives you a great idea about what you need if you want to take part in a massive international rally or off road competition. The solution he offers for the average guy who wants to test the waters and see what it is really like is exciting!

More great interviews are on their way...

New 4x4 Articles And Off Road Stories

Suzuki Fest 2009 Suzuki Fest 2009
As we’ve already been accustomed, the end of the summer brought a new and improved edition of the Suzuki Festival in the heart of Transylvania. To prove that size does not necessarily matter, 28 Suzuki trucks sporting various modifications (from almost standard Jimnyes to a tray back Vitara with Volvo portals and an impressive vacuum – cleaner - hose – type snorkel).
Rally Raid International: Paul Round Rally Raid International: Paul Round
It's always the people with initiative who make it in any business. I had the chance to chat with one of those people, and not coincidentally the man who improved the average off road lover's chances to participate in the toughest but most rewarding competition in the world: the Paris - Dakar. An interview with the founder of Rally Raid international, Paul Round.
Formula Off Road Reykjavik Iceland 2009 2 Formula Off Road Reykjavik Iceland 2009 -2
The sixth and final Formula Off Road Icelandic Championship 2009 is at Kollafjordur just north of Reykjavik. Like yesterday the race is also a part of the Nordic Cup. The tracks are a bit different this time although the place is the same.

(This is just the beginning - hope to have the full article up also: Thrandur)
Romanian Extreme Adventure 2009 - 7 day race Romanian Extreme Adventure 2009
A country with mountains is a country with off road cars. And where there’s off road cars, sooner or later there’s bound to be the desire to compete and see who’s the best driver, the most skilled mechanic or the most cunning navigator of them all.

Readers Rigs Are On!

If you have a 4x4 you feel proud of and want to show others - please don't hesitate to submit pictures and descriptions.

Already there are a number of nice trucks up. My plan is to make these pages as high-quality and as accessible as possible and I need your help! Almost all 4x4's are unique and I am sure yours is in some way. Share your experience and allow the rest of the 4 wheeling world to see your truck and how it is used...

Take your time to describe your 4x4 and how you enjoy it. Use as many words as needed. Ask yourself what would be interesting for you to know more about. The most interesting rigs with lots of information and an unusual story get the most attention.

Here you can see a great selection of readers trucks
