This is my review of a Bugatti Veyron:
My old mans hilux is higher, even a 1978 BMW 5 series has a bigger boot, a hino truck has better forward visibility, a Tata has better ground clearance and even my grans nissan micra can carry more people!! And it has no cup-holders. Bad Bugatti... how could you. I cannot see many people buying this and there is a 3 year waiting list. Bugatti has failed again and you best spend your hard earned cash on a Toyota 86 because an 80 year old couldn't tell the difference.

Thanks for the advice. I will be staying away from Bugatti. It was always going to be between the Bugatti and a 2nd hand Daewoo Matiz. I have made up my mind.

Put a tonne of cargo on the back of each of the two bakkies.
Then drive 4x4 conditions day in and day out.
Sooner or later the cruiser will fail.
Thats why you would drive a Patrol bakkie.

Ask a certain member of this forum with five Patrol bakkies doing this sort of work for him.
Some of them are 20 years old. He's had two cruiser bakkies before. Both failed within two years doing the same work as the Patrol bakkies.

As a 4x4, many cars can give you reliable joy.
But as a 4x4 work horse there is no comparison to the Patrol bakkie.

Oom

As die draft ge-save het, dan kan jy hom gaan kry by jou "User Control Panel"
Op die tab "Overview", is daar 'n opsie "Manage drafts"
As hy nie daar is nie, dan is hy internet hemel toe. Jammer, maar dan gaan hy nie weer terug kom nie.

Ja die liewe LT manne wat so voluit probeer om tog die ou cruisertjies in ñ beter lig te plaas, ñ paar goed cruiser 4.2d is stadig die nuwe v8's is snaaks genoeg nie veel beter nie, ry vrek hard en is beknop. Brandstof verbruik, hmmm die badge op die kant sê vir jou kilos per liter. In boerdery op harde klipveld en koppe en rante waar beeste bene breek hou net patrols, landcruisers groet een vir, word warm of strip spider gears. Snaaks selfs ou ford ranger 2.5td hou beter behalwe vir sy gbox.
Na menigte gesprekke met nissan Sa om die nuwe bakkie te gaan toets wag ek steeds vir die launch ongelukkig weet ek kla binne daai sogenaamde updated ZD30 gaan versker nie by my huidige 4.2tdi bakkie hou dalk net brandstof gewys. Weet wragtig nie watter brightspark besluit het ZD30 is die regte masjien vir ñ swaar werkesel met 4.2 6cylinder en v8 kompetiesie.
