    Gee, you are a friendly bunch, aren't you!

    Always a good thing. Being welcoming happy folk. One other many forum I haunt, for Australian Xtrails, is also a great place to be. I guess I'm very spoiled coming across such friendly and helpful communities.

    A nut house? Even better! Suits me to a tee.

    Hadn't thought about a ute for touring. Do they come as dual cabs?

    At the moment I'm enjoying trawling through the 4x4 safety part of the forum. Probably should be a compulsory first stop for newbies.
    I'm currently "in discussions" with Nissan regarding the front recovery point on my xtrail (I already have a hitch billet/shackle set up for the rear). Which is described in the owners manual as used for recover from sand, mud etc - you know the words. I wrote to them, but of course they didn't write back, instead had one of their customer relations staff call me. Poor girl didn't know anything beyond the script she had been given to read and was a waste of time to try and have a meaningful discussion.

    Just realised I was in rambling on more and more then. Probably should stop before anyone is snoring into their keyboards.

    Thanks again for your welcome!

    Yeah except I was thinking the other day, whilst the exy was idling (yes, just idling foot off accelerator) up the carpark ramp at the new coles store in burwood, that I'll have to learn how to deal with the lack of power and torque again. Having 127kW and 360N.m driving less than 2 tonnes can make one lazy I guess. (If only I had a low-range)

    Gotta arrange when I can get back to looking at that MK. Driving me nuts not being able to get to it at the moment.
