Used to fit my boxer in without a problem and off road my shorty handled very well even though it was standard set up.

Cant wait to take it off road now the suspension lift has been done.

Ya dog will fit fine....roma fits in the back of a sport with the seats folded no probs....and she's a bit bigger than your gsd...

Sport is great also, as I can take all the rear glass out so roma then slimes the cars behind....not my glass!! :lol: :lol:

Re: swb sport by jontera on Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:17 pm
one thing that I would say is my 2ltr sport really could do with another gear for the motorway.
The chap who I bought it off used it for towing and reckons that it's ok, but a little thirsty up-hilly country.
I've not taken her off-road yet, but he did and didn't have too many problems..said it did better than swb ovals.
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes

Re: swb sport by BadBoy on Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:36 pm
If you can make it to the southeast meet on the 30th viewtopic.php?f=63&t=26948&st=0&sk=t&sd=a, I'm sure someone will let you have a go in theirs, or if you can do the workday at the off road site on the 16th viewtopic.php?f=63&t=27314, I'll have my SWB there.
Mine will still be stock as far as suspension goes on the 16th so that will give you some idea what it can do.
Krusher will also be there and his has had a 2" suspension lift done so you will be able to see the difference

my swb sport is great on the roads, brilliant offroad and fits a Rhodesian Ridgeback in the back no problem.

Offroad, the swb do have a better break over angle

Re: swb sport by vaux_2 on Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:43 pm
I've managed to fit a single bed in the back of mine before (B series), matress and base, so there's plenty of space in the back with the seats down!
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
