It's a good idea, but to be pedantic (and there are lots of mappers like this) do you mean.. a high clearance vehicle a vehicle which drives through all wheels (4 or 6) or you can drive this in a solid car with a floor pan if you are smart enough (like a beach buggy)
some of us rural people reckon that 4WD just gets you 4 foot further into trouble and just because you have one of those urban shopping cart 4WD things doesn't make you good enough to go anywhere and no, I haven't had a 4WD for over 20 years. Nowadays I have a fleet of bicycles to cover varying terrain. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
