We Entered an Outback Gymkhana (In a Toyota RAV4)

The time has come to put our car and driving on the line as we compete in a Gymkhana in the desert outback of Australia, in western New South Wales. But will the car survive, and what weird vehicle has Moog purchased off the internet to help them achieve their goals?

This definitely felt like an old school TG episode. On tonight’s episode Marty races a horse, Moog races a snoopy and the RAV34 GTR enters the wrong race altogether.

[@JimOHalloran]

Yeah, this could easily have been a two part film for TG/TG Australia. Quality of filming, sound, editing story, etc was exceptional!

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Weird because America usually gets 2 door versions of everything and we never get them.

[@RPS13DRlFT]

From 98 to 2000 it was available

[@RotaryJunkie]

Actually, that's a good point... We didn't get the shorty RAV, but we did get the Gen 2 with a V6, so we don't need to turbo them to make 270hp.

[@bluestreak.gp7]

@@RotaryJunkie I think you're referring to the third gen (2006-2012), which was the only gen that was available with a V6. There were no second gen models that came with a V6 in North America. Also, the first gen RAV4 was available as a two-door in the US.

I wish the American car community was like this. Everyone is too much of a hater and their only concern is who's car is faster. I get a ton of hate because I built a 95 dodge neon coupe that's naturally aspirated for now and makes 220hp at the wheels but only weighs 1800lbs. It's a load of fun to drive. It's got big cams in it so it sounds rad with the crazy lope.

[@angeloah]

I had a neon high line back in the day. Was a 2 door gravel road destroyer. I miss that shyt headed car, was Barney purple no less. We do seem to have a bunch of gate keepers, and boy racers in the us, but I find cars and coffee is less shyt but still clicky and judge mental considering it’s not a car show. Anyway don’t give up on it brutha there are those of us pulling for the car scene to revert back to a lifestyle.

@@angeloah nice man. Mines a sport coupe. It's been a great car. I've owned it for almost 15 years now.

I've rebuilt the top end and redid the bad body work from the last guy and repainted the whole car. Did everything myself.

I used to live Dubbo for a while for work. My first job for work was to travel to Cobar to set up IT gear at a temporary office. It was nice to see you guys out that way. Lots of good memories unlocked. There's a lot of good people out there. Years ago I made a rule when travelling, especially outside the cities. If it has a drive-thru attached, you're not allowed to go there unless it's the only place open. It makes for a more interesting trip, and a good way to support local families and businesses. Thanks for doing the RAV34 conversion. I really enjoyed seeing it and the potential for my 20-series RAV that I bought in April. I don't want to lose the clearance, but your videos made me confident enough to feel I can tackle some driveway work on a car I am totally unfamiliar with. Oh yeah, the stance on the RAV cruising up the Great Western Hwy looks mint!

[@commodorenut]

This is why I used to love doing country runs in previous jobs. Great towns, great people, and great food. Our car club does an annual event where we stay in a country town for a week, and do day trips to all the little surrounding towns and attractions. The locals are so appreciative of visitors spending money in their town - it keeps those towns alive. The locals in country towns are just like these people, and in my experience in NSW and northern VIC, most of the time the local bakery still makes their own pies. Best pies I ever had were in Tassie. Maybe that should be a MCM road trip too?

My family and I just got back from a 4500+ mile road trip through the American Midwest, and by far the most enjoyable parts of the trip were when we stopped in small towns and visited the local eateries and shops.
