For years i whinged about the Mums at school, crystal clean great big bloody four wheels drives...blocking my veiw, practicly running me over, and when they took half an hour to park the blimmin big things...i practicly had steam coming out my ears.
I stuck with my loverly kingswood, never complained about how much fuel the v8 drank, or how it struggled up hills with the float.
When i had to take my hay down the paddock..no worries, just go faster thru the sand, and when i got stuck some where i thought i could make it but couldnt, i would just shrug and get out the block n tackle..
Then I recieved my GQ as a valentines pressy, didnt want to seem ungrateful, but why do i need such a big car?? I get along fine with my kingswood....
My first drive to town, i thought hmm its nice to drive, loverly to park....nice.
My first load of hay, ripper to tow with, and that sand hill in the top paddock? No drama's, and i hadnt touched that 2nd gear stick yet!!
Before long i found myself throwing that poor GQ at every sand hill, mud hole, Rocky, rutted out hilly track i could find.
And to my amazment it went EVERWHERE i wanted to go...
These days my Kingswood is in the shed under her car car cover, still waiting for sunday..
Today my 4by looks a little worse for wear, and running with a few probs. Thats how i came about to be here... deciding on wether to fix, or upgrade!!
