About Rob Fraser
Rob first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, many years ago. He has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. Often known for taking the Ute or 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has traveled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive. He is most at home sitting in a Ute listening to the diesel rumble and driving somewhere there are few people.
