Sadly the old GQ ('92EFI)rolled its last road. Motor was 500k and tiring and rust setting in so its gone to a better home. Now stuck with a Mercedes ML sorta 4be. Aaah but the memories I get to keep.

To rev a Buick/Holden v6 to the limiter.

Bought my first patrol new in 2002. Kept it until 2006. It was a ST wagon (DI). Bought my second new Patrol in 2012. I still have it and have no planes to sell it. It doesn't get driven much as its a second car. But its get s a run once a week. So I guess my after Patrol car is a Patrol.

Becoming Patrol-less is a new experience to me.
Had ours for 13 years. Until last week.
Bought for it's lack of electronic control of everything & thus it's inherent 'fixability' needed for remote travel, it's off road capability, it's long life motor & transmission and it's heavy duty build.
It provided all of that. In short it has been, of all the vehicles I have owned, the most dependable & trustworthy of all. If we had the space (& didn't need the money) I would have kept it.

Age related stuff demanded more comfort & we needed a small runabout that was a bit easier on fuel for when we are at home. The 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara 5 door, bought late last year with under 80,000kms, is the most modern car we have ever owned is a joy to drive & it's leather seats have lumbar support! (as do most/all modern cars(but which our Patrol didn't). Complete opposite end of the 4wd spectrum to our Patrol & I don't expect to take it 4wd'ing although it's '4wd capabilities, such as they are, may become useful when out collecting firewood for the heater at home. Of greater use is it's seat height, a stand out among most other small cars, making it very easy to get in & out of. Being used to the Patrol's brakes, I almost went through the windscreen the first time I applied the brakes in the Suzuki! Wife loves it & drives it regularly. Driving the much heavier & with limited rear vision Patrol was something she rarely did.

For further long term travel is a well travelled OKA expedition vehicle to provide us with everything & more that the Patrol gave us, but without the need to tow. Currently at the OKA factory getting a bit of a re-furb. Hoping to have it home soon.

Shooosh, BZ Brother
Australians never speak of Buick originally designing said V6 weapons in their Holden’s
If time permits, search up ‘Trans-Pen-Malaysia’ competitions back in the 80’s, Aussie’s with Toyota 4 Runners/Buick pimped/pinging valves/winning
