Excellent pictures!!
Tell me brother how your 2.0D performed!?
When I went to these areas last time, I had a Hiace 3.0 turbo, but the naturally aspirated engines do loose some power because of high-altitude! Was this also noticeable in your case? how about the fuel-consumption and the general road-worthiness of such a car in such areas?
Anyhow, naturally aspirated or not, a diesel-engine in general is the best for such areas . . . What would you say?
