CATHERINE BATTENALLY LIVES: ST LEONARDS, VIC DRIVES: 2022 D-MAX 4X4 X-TERRAIN “I loved my X-TERRAIN as soon as I saw it! We go jet skiing and trail riding a lot, and we needed something that we could just throw all the gear into—no sand, no fuss— and get going. So I test drove it and ordered it and then I thought… oh no, what if Matt, my husband, doesn’t like it!? Haha! So he went weeks without driving it and I was getting tense, and then I finally got him to drive it… and he didn’t want to let me back behind the wheel! We’ve been along the Great Ocean Road and we go up to Nyah, near Swan Hill. We take the motorbikes and it’s just so peaceful beside the river. I never actually thought I’d have an orange car—I was thinking white—but I loved it so much that it just had to be the Volcanic Amber!”
LEO BLANCO LIVES: BRIBIE ISLAND, QLD DRIVES: 2021 MU-X 4X4 LS-T “I worked as a doctor in a very rural hospital in South Africa and I was given a 4WD Isuzu in 2002. I know their reliability—it was 65km each way on a very bad gravel road to get into town and it never let us down. Fast-forward to today and we mostly use our MU-X around Bribie Island, usually on trips to the beach where you can have a bit more space to yourself. We also tow the van quite often to Double Island Point. We love to be in the fresh air, down by the ocean, and during Christmas and Easter we’ll often have a few friends joining us in convoy— sometimes up to 10 families in total. We almost all own D-MAXs or MU-Xs as well. It’s like a small club! I think we have six Isuzus all put together.”
