Look what just parked next to us. (1 Viewer)

[bigtree]

A German couple parked their overlander next to us, I got chatting to them and they have been away for a year doing north and South America. They got caught up with Covid in Mexico, so shipped it back to Europe and have been round Britain. We are in Provence and they are heading home to Majorca.

Nice little Overlander they have there

Don’t know, I will ask them when they come back from lunch. They are a nice couple.

It’s an Exploryx , it has an Oryx for a logo.

It looks very small to spend a year in

 

[Vipar]

Perhaps they are short people like me. We could get 4 of our family in there with room to spare. To swing a cat

Exploryx.

Looks extremely well made and expensive at first glance doesn't it?

Exploryx - Impala X

Not sure if this the inside.

 

[tonyidle]

A friend of mine spent £72000 on one of those. Built in Germany. It's equally hideous.

Nice, very practical for overlanding, if a bit spartan, actually very spartan!.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Nobody would call a traditional Land Rover "beautiful"
But they are superb vehicles.

Given my Mercedes motorhome vs the Exploryx model on a Bolivian "main" road, I know which one I'd pick.
On a German autobahn my views would change.

It looks very small to spend a year in

It's amazing the difference in sizes for long-term

When I was doing my first long trip in Spain in my frankia I met a couple who were doing a year in a vw T25 karmann gypsy ...they were stunned that I was solo in an 8.5 metre tag axle ...

I saw this one in Málaga ....only 2 of them in it

 

[the1andonly]

Is that a van with windows?
