Me and the wifey are down here for a project and once it's complete we're off back to northern warmer waters. And, we have plans which we doubt might involve the patrol. Circa 2 years at this stage.
During this time we'd like to use the patrol to see as much of vic as possible. Might even venture down to arctic tassie.
First port of call taking the car to see some snow.
The patrol was merely a sheer luck spur of the moment right time right place event for us. Boss found out were after something more mobile and here we are...
And we jumped on it. I will be honest I was entirely blind to different motor configurations on this, and whats good whats not. The body and setup of the car was what won me over.
Re: power
Ive jumped out of a 2018 mustang into this. Power levels are different planets. But I will adapt eventually. I wont be chasing ponies out of it. Nor will I have time! More than anything id like it to be reliable.
Which, so far it seems ive dipped in the right pond!
