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?![]()
