Hey everyone.
New to the forum, and still new to the 70 series. Been bitten by this "bug" for a few weeks already now, and there wasn't a day when I did not go online to read some more info about this legend of a car.
But I couldn't find the answer to this question: how is this car as a long distance car? And I mean like 1500-3000 km at least 4-5 times a year.
The reason why I'm asking is because I have two seasonal jobs (winter and summer), located in places and within weather conditions where a good and trustful 4x4 is a must a lot of times, and they're both quite far away one from another, but I also would like to drive it back to my homecountry in between the seasons. All driving would be within Europe.
And I know that it's not the fastest one out there, and depending on the car's condition and the engine, it could max between 100 and 135 km/h, but that would already be a struggle for it.
I'm particularly interested in the 1990-1996 models, and I would use it mostly on asphalt and gravel, and ocassionaly take it offroad.
So, any thoughts or experience on this would be highly appreciated, and definitely would help me make the right decision.
