Just wanted to say sorry

[Timmo]

Sorry Guys,

But The wife and I have gone out and got a brand new jeep.......yes we bought a Jeep.

I still have good ole EEZZEE for the time being but we are down sizing her for a Xtrail

I guess once the troll is gone I cant be a member of this awesome forum but that wont be

for a while so I will make the most of it.

Been a while since I have posted on here due to work commitments and family.

well thanks for reading.

Good luck Timmo with the Jeep and be sure to pop in once in a while to say g'day.

[AB]

He bought a jeep :(


Don't be a stranger though mate, come back for yarns anytime!!

[threedogs]

What colour, Santa's got one too you know , pop in and say Hi now and again, Good luck with it Timmo

[FNQGU]

I drove the Grand Cherokee with the Hemi V8 whilst in the States on holidays. Was pretty awesome as a road tourer. Electric everything and then some on top as well. Horses for courses though, as I wouldn't want to take it where I take my Patrol.

[Stropp]

hey mate sorry to hear that too, drop in and say hello when you can, hell even post a pic of the je%p if you want :)

[mudnut]

You'll have to change your forum name to Popeye, 'cause he had a jeep. Let us know how the Xtrail goes. When we update our van it may be an option to get one.

[Clunk]

At least you'll be staying in the Nissan family though. You know that you're always welcome here mate. Best of luck with your future endeavours

[BigRAWesty]

You won't go anywhere. You'll always be on here asking for tows bahahaha.

One a serious note these things happen.
All the best with the heap, sorry Jeep.

Great sound your Jack has.

[Bulbous]

Congratulations on your purchase.
I'm really glad that everyone's being so nice to you because I've just bought a LC 70 SWB.
I will be keeping the Patrol

And you still expect them to be nice? I notice you didn't mention the T word. HA HA

They are very popular over there, at least in Saudi, assume it is the same in UAE?

Mind you I thought there were lots of Jeeps in Dubai when I visited? Especially modded Wranglers.

[cgm]

Timmo, just curious of why you are moving on from the Patrol? Was it just too big (aside from the Jeep you mention looking to go to Xtrail)?

Lease is up on here so we payed out the residual and leased the jeep

nothing wrong with the troll but with having to pay for fuel out of pocket now its just not financial for our family so we are doing here up and then gonna sell her for about under 30 grand as to buy the wife her small car that she wants...... I could have released her but we chose the jeep just for a change

[Timmo]

So here she is kids have named it Frosty but I have named it NAN (Not a Nissan) its what she always wanted so she gets this for Xmas I know we are down sizing the troll so I will get to keep this and then next year once we move I can get a weekend 4x4 which I will be looking for a shorty GQ or a good clean GQ and do it up......

We came very close to buying one instead of wife's Prado. Was too small for our needs at the time (3 kids + dog)

No I think that they're going to lynch me. :D

Yep - Lots of Jeeps, wranglers are very popular. Probably because they're so challenging to get reasonable performance out of.

I came very close to buying a Wrangler Rubicon late last year. The Patrol is just too awesome and I wanted something a bit less capable to keep the challenge there. A 4.8 in the dunes is just a monster. Brute force and ignorance all the way - works for me.

The car company beginning with T, re-released the LandCruiser 70 in several countries this year to celebrate the fact that this agricultural piece of Junk is now 30 years old. So I bought a SWB one. (Rub3) In Arabic - quarter car. Pronunciation "Rubaa". I think that you guys called it a Bundy. Any way it's a Mk 0.5 Prado

Think of it as an investment. :)

Sorry to say guys, but I've fallen in love with it. It's small and nippy where the Patrol is big and awesome. Never thought it would happen but there we go.
I love both - but it's the Rub3 that's getting all the sand time for now.

Please don't ban me - I still love the Badrol (No P and no T in arabic language)

[growler2058]

Ohhhh dear!

well does the "Bundy" have leaf or coil, there were 3 models of the short 70s.
Imports were badged Prados and had 4 doors,
Looks like a short 76 series 4 door workmate

The Bundy is a 71 Series. It has leaf at the back and coil at the front. Got V6 1GR-FE donkey under the bonnet.

Oh the Shame :D

The Bundy got stuck on Friday in the dunes. Fortunately a Patrol was passing and rescued me. Luckily no pics exist so I can say it didn't happen :D
