Anyway - good travels - hope all the excitement is due to the scenery and not 'happenings'!

This is true of true of the locals all over the world, and it does make you feel like a plank at times, but in Morocco for instance, when we're out playing in the dunes or cross-axled in dried up wadis, there isn't an 'African taxi' (a Peugeot 504) in sight.
Most 4x4 owners I know drive them because they can go places that ordinary cars can get to, like mountainous regions, and with all the skill in the world a two-wheel-drive car can't climb without running out of traction (especially when it's loose terrain or wet/icy) ... not to mention puff!!!
