Thats true, i still own & enjoy the trol.

[AB]

There's a thread somewhere else on here about what cars we've owned but my list isn't as long as yours mate...

VB commodore
GQ patrol wagon...didn't spend much on this because I was in the early 20's and had no money
XF ute with a 351 shortblock cleveland, LSD, mudterrain tyres...lol and a 4 speed top loader...My brother and I spent a bit of money on this one...Especially when we lost a bolt and decided to just put the engine back together and then after cranking it over soon realised where that missing bolt was....crunch bang crunch....There goes 5k...lol

FJ45 cruiser...yep...lol
The mighty Bluey...Spent 2k so far and expect to add another "0" to that in the next 2 years...lol

[Bob]

I am not game to even think about the money but have purchased 4 New Patrols over the years but have woken up and now only purchase used ones.

[Victa]

Seems that you can never justify the amount of money spent on cars...... I'm up to my 34th Vehicle and have had 9 bikes as well. The second hand market is good. At least if you have bought a lemon your not kicking yourself for the wasted mega $ lost in trying to rectify or get rid of it. My last New vehicle was before marriage (26 years ago) and that was a mongrel Mitsubishi Sigma wagon. With the problems it had I was better off ditching it after 11 months.... and it wasn't even yellow!

The Patrol has the biggest and most powerful engine of any car I've had....but could also be the slowest!!

I might have even forgotten some in that list, gotta be a bit of money wasted in that lot.

[Bigrig]

Let me focus on this car - 92 GQ Patrol:

- Purchase price $9000 less $1500 for a dodgy hyundai trade (no reverse, clapped engine, etc); so $7500 out of pocket.
- 4" lift, arms, casters, etc $3268
- Mickey Thompson tyres; 5 x for $1680
- Pacemaker extractors and exhaust $1300
- New radiator (alloy) $780
- New alternator; 110 amp $420
- 4 x lightforce spotties $1900 approx
- UHF and two aerials (small and large) $770
- 7" GPS stereo $288
- Retro fitted airbox $150
- Reconditioned transfer case FREE
- assorted other goodies $500

All in all outside of general servicing which is over and above these costs, it owes me about $18500 .... and is insured for just on $10000 ....

I could cry now !!!! lmfao

Edit: $300 for window tinting ... I'm dead set sobbing ... hope I don't remember anything else ... lol

[Finly Owner]

Your only trying to get me back for the camper prank. HA HA HA
