Yeah, yours looks cooler, more stylish. But don't really mind the other one (for what it is) an ad-on canopy. It looks a fair bit cheaper, is that the case?
What the story with the grey ute, they find some left over HDT stickers from the 80s?

Your van is the better looking vehicle, the canopy on the other Ute looks more like an afterthought. I have never seen a HDT Ute before, it must have a few extras in it though.
"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
I've not seen a HDT Ute before either, nor a factory one with a 2 tone bed lid, it is badged as an SV6 so not sure what performance gear it might have, so I had a look around and it looks like the most recent HDT was a remake of the blue meanie

You can however buy the decals quite cheap and make your own, the only obvious change to the one I saw was the wheels

The ARB canopy has more fruit and costs around $3,500, mine was $5,000

Yeah but yours looks the goods if i had a spare 5K i woukd like to put one on my VF SS ute
I agree Camper. The canopy on your Ute is far superior (in looks at least) than any other canopy you could have bought. The purple Ute looks like a Ute with a canopy, where as the uninitiated would look at yours and not even realise it was really a utility. No contest.

Hi All,
another week off and another road trip.
This time I went to;
Abercorn, bit of a ghost town now
Very dry out that way
Waruma Gorge
Always stuns me how it can be so dry right next to a river/lake/dam
Now that's a Dam wall
Long way down
Beautiful gorge that not many seem to know about
Sandie waiting patiently in the distance

Still at Wuruma Dam
one of the dodgiest bridges I've driven across, had to do it twice, once in, once out. Crossing the Nogoa River, down stream from the gorge pictured above
300 odd Ks further south, I really enjoy driving down the range at Tansey, one of those spots where 60kmh is fast enough to be fun.
Was home a couple of days and then on to Brisbane to see an Uncle on Lamb Island
Tingalpa creek
Looking across to Coochiemudlo Island from Victoria Point, beautiful spot
Snipe Island in Moreton Bay, I think it might be for sale if you've got the cash
And back home to the Sunny Coast
All too soon it was time to head back to work
Old mate below taking full advantage of the rest stop at Gympie, got the full tent set up
The area around Gympie is beautiful first thing in the morning
Top camp spot near Biggenden
Love the light and reflections in this shot
Biggenden Bluff/Mt. Walsh national park
Coming into Gayndah, Queenslands oldest town
The Big Orange at Gayndah
The Burnett River just north of Gayndah, a great spot to stop and just off the highway, no camping here though :(
