G'day from the ACT

[Dizzy]

Hi all, Just thought I would introduce my self and my toy, we are in the Canberra area and I would love to meet up with other members in the area and do some more 4wding in the Brindies and south Coast area.

I bought her about 12 months ago because the 90 series Prado I owned was getting a bit long in the tooth and needed some $$$ spent on it, I wanted to supercharge the V6 in it but after doing to sums (cost of supercharger, engineering, cost of petrol etc) figured I was better off buying the Patrol and it is a much nicer car which kept the Mrs happy as we had bub no 3 on the way (my first, I have 2 step kids). To be honest I wasn't even looking at a Patrol as I wanted another D-Max dual cab after owning one for a few years before being written off but I saw mine on the side of the road and decided to stop and look..... well I took it for a drive and fell in love so now she sits proudly in my driveway!

I will post it up in members rides with mods done and the wish list :thumbup:

Cheers,

Stevo
