Hi, folks
as the title says I am thinking about keeping our beloved Patrol, who brought us 40.000km around Oz in the last months. We are Germans (no backpackers! ) and your government and my account balance wants us to go back home and earn some money, but a little bit more 4WDing in the future won`t hurt, right? Much easier if we have a car when we come back instead of starting over.
We have a friend in NSW, who would take care or the car, but she is not very responsive right know and I am looking for alternatives just in case she breaks her promise.
Some facts about the car, that might influence your opinion:
- VIC Rego and officially garaged in VIC (I also have a VIC drivers licence)
- It is a stock Patrol without snorkel or winch (yet) but automatic and in very good condition, 293.000km on the clock
- it is a 2001 ZD30
- complete camp setup with roof top tent, fridge, dual battery, solar, ...
Looks like leaving the car in NSW with a friend means a bit of paperwork as I am not sure if I can leave it registered in VIC while i am not present.
Do you have any experiences or ideas?
