Siva Ganesh from Palmerston North, New Zealand.

Siva's RAV4 is a 1996, Aqua Marine, 5DR, 5-speed with 4WD, Yokohama Geolander A/T tires, Towbar, Nudge-bar & license plates that read "1 RAV4".

"These photos were taken near Rotorua, New Zealand's top tourist spot. This was part of a 2-day 'tag-along' safari. Yes (of course!), I had to be pulled out :-( Actually, the RAV did very well compared to other big guns! (Maybe it was the 'drivers' who couldn't perform!!) None of the 14 or so vehicles in the group made it through this mud pool (including a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee - even with all that 4.7litre power & a brand new Land Rover Discovery!)."
