THERE’S no two ways about it. Life is about compromises. The rolling countryside of an outback station might be the perfect slice of paradise for some, but it’s a world away from beach-front barbecues with your mates. A big-shot career in the hustle and bustle of the city might fill a fat wallet, but if you’re dreaming of your own business spinning spanners it might as well be a dead-end job. So what do you do if you’re daydreaming of a hi-poV8 wagon singing to the heavens with supercharged whine and beadlocked 35s scrabbling for traction, but you really need the practicality of an all-out touring ute for that big lap of a lifetime? Well, if you’re Queensland couple Michael and Taylah, you throw caution to the wind and build both. Simple, eh?
