I GOT MY (clean) hands on the Triton long-termer because of coronavirus. You see, usually, when we go out to shoot a car for a review – in this instance the short-wheelbase SsangYong Musso for last issue – it’s just a matter of jumping in with the journo and heading into the scrub.
I’ll jump out when we see a good looking track, clamber up to the top to photograph the car coming up, jump back in, and away we go. But due to social distancing, I needed a separate car, and I don’t think my trusty Falcon would have been quite up to the job ... if only it was an AU!
