Intro

[Formidable]

Hi all, have jumped on the forum a few times & decided i should get around to joining.i enjoy taking the wife out for a good drive & nice place to have a rest & something to eat, love my photography & now looking for a new Patrol to drive(my wife's station wagon is killing me).
Until recently had a pretty Stock 1997 GQ 4.2 N/A Diesel. i owned it for 7 years.Then some arse hit the back of it at 5am & drove off writing it off.

so now im looking for a new Patrol GQ or GU 4.2L

hope to glean as much info & wisdom from here as i can & maybe even find a new ride.

cheers

Hi mate, welcome to the forum. bugger about the car bud. did you buy it back? should have stripped it for the motor and box. Good coin there.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Welcome mate, surely the best forum on the net. If you need it, you can get it, if you want to know it, just ask it. If you want to find it, go to the search bar for a universe of information. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

[Formidable]

no didn't buy it back, should have in hindsight.
i have been thinking of getting a mint 94-97 2.8 or 4.2 & buy a new 4.2 diesel to whack in, though im not mech minded.

id need to find somewhere in Perth who would do this, checking out to Gqs this week but have a few dings some of them.

look forward yes to meeting some people off here at some stage & wisdom.

cheers
