Beach buggies

How about everyone putting up a pic of their beach transport?

Here is our beach machine. A 2009 Kia Sorento. 4x4 high and low ratio, light enough to ride the sand, plenty of power. Has taken us everywhere the Nissan Terrano went and much more comfortable on the open road.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Our terrano has been replaced with a nissan x trail.

Seems to go well on beaches no 4wd low tho

High mileage, excellent condition, good rubber. Manages to carry all my gear easily and carry the catch out at the end of a session. Very economical, low maintenance only drawback need regular airing, especially on a hot day.

Never been stuck, never needed to be towed out, highly recommended.

You would be right there, Gary. I live on a single man's pension of $333.00 a week so filling the car up with gas for long trips to go fishing is well beyond my means. However, no complaints, I do very well locally so I am happy.

Re: Beach buddies

You thought correctly. However, my wife is Chinese and a non resident therefore, we live on my single man's pension.

Well said Hangler. I fish where I can get on foot. Papamoa has a lot of shore line, with lots of beach access points, so if I can cycle there, I can fish. Sometimes fishing is where it's at. The likelihood of catching fish is good but it might not always be why we're there.

The vantastic has been keeping me poor of late. 4 new tyres last week and replaced the broken winch as well. Could have brought several high-end rod combo's for that

Great being able to sleep where you fish or just sit out of the weather at remote beaches though
