That's not an ATV. THIS is an ATV!

There's one thing you definitely need when you're surrounded by forest, and that's an ATV.  Of course, there are ATVs and ATVs!  We have a Terra Jet, which was a hot and upcoming brand back in the seventies, but I'm not sure they're even made anymore.  Regardless, it's a great vehicle to have around, and comes in very handy, especially for breaking trails.  Plus, it's a two-seater!  :)

As you can see, the design is quite simple, yet rugged.  It has a winch on the front and chunky go-anywhere tires.  And guess what else?  It’s amphibious!  Yes, it floats on water … and we’ve proved it.  :D

Believe it or not, this was once driven into a lake … and back out again with no ill effects!

Tackling a climb up into the bush.

Easy!

… and off into the bush to break trail.

She’s a handsome beast … and so is that cute guy with the hat! 

The Terra Jet is extremely useful around our place, from such tasks as pulling downed trees out of the bush, to clearing a pathway into the forest, and as a service vehicle to get into inaccessible areas.  Plus, it’s just really good fun to go charging down the road with the wind in your hair! She gets up to quite a decent rate of speed, and from time to time lets go a loud backfire.  Maybe we should call her Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang? :P
