G'day all. My name is rob and have been a patrol owner in the past(1993 GQ TI dual fuel)however sold my pride and joy due to long deployments with navy. Originally from Toowoomba and spent 25 years in Navy as a warfare Chief Petty Officer and since left in 2012, returned to Toowoomba to start a nursing degree. Currently in my final year and looking forward to a completely polar vocation.

Looking at purchasing a 1993 GQ TI again with all the fruit from a gent in Jimboomba at the end of the month so as to get back into the patrol scene. Has 275k on it, dual fuel again, dual air con, no off road apart from putting a jet ski into a dam, leather interior and full service history.

Looking forward to getting back into it again, not a big fan of monster rock climbs, more the ability to hit a sandy beach campsite and wetting a line every so often. Currently have a EB XR8, a 2013 Hyundai iX35 highlander and a Hyundai i30 plus a 1977 Mini S with a supercharged 998cc for a nice blat through the winding roads up this way.

Hooroo

G'day Rob welcome aboard mate

Thank you all for the welcome. Well the TI did make a big impact as I went everywhere with it. Was a daily driver in Sydney when I was based there with a fortnightly return to Canberra where my home was. Just didn't want to see it rot in the garage while away on 8-10 month deployments. Never cost me a cent in repairs, oil changed every 5000km and had close to 350000km on it when I sold it. The fellow that bought it was a friend in Canberra who still has it today and has punched the 450000km and nothing untoward has happened to it apart from a new radiator and timing gear. They do run forever and hoping the new purchase will do the same.

They had their foibles with the electrics in the windows but easy enough to fix as replacement motors are easy to come by nowadays. Fuel economy was great and the 120 litre tank for LPG made touring a pleasure.

Rest assured, I will probably have a lot of questions when I do get it in a few weeks. Currently going to sic the RACQ onto it for a full once over, the current owner has done a safety check and a RWC but want to get the RACQ to give it a good once over just to be sure and present any issues to the current owner.
