We have that here too mate - they're called South Australians (similar, but not the same!). They are the ones we stick down the bottom and in the middle of the seaboard populations east and west ... a few of them may actually respond to your thread thinking you can't spell, but just humour them mate!!
LMFAO!!!!
Hope you find some over there boss - no fun having the toy, having the locations, but not having mates to share it with ...
Good luck mate I do know how you feel. I'm the only trol in the area and have to wade through broken landrovers every time I go offroading lol
Old south wales , over and out ;)

Hi mate. Was born in Jo'burg but live in Aussie now. Where do you hail from?

Live out in a small place called Sezela. 2 hours from the Wild Coast and 2 hours from the Drakensberg.
Just had a look at the members map and confirmed that Africa is a lonely place for Patrols. Am on the road on a daily basis and see another Patrol perhaps once a week or less.
Hi mate - what is the common 4wd over there? Or are 4wds not as popular?

Patrols are few and far between because Nissan is not very well represented. Their car market took a dive in the 80's and 90's because of unpopular designs (granny looking cars) and consequently the good stuff like Patrols suffered from the fall-out.
A shame. I'll not bag toyotas or others but a shame SA hasn't seen the light!

Rain, rain, rain! Recon the last km of my commute home s going to be with the diff lock on. Definitely no place for sissies!
I think the UN use patrols not 100% on that though,
