Hi All, I tried to copy and paste the format but it seems to be locked.
Name is Charlie Adkins 30 November 1952 makes me about 60 Go by the name Caz
Retired aircraft engineer but now own a construction business
Married with two grown up daughters and 3 grand daughters
I have owned the following 4x4's:
Toyota ldv 1976 4.2 petrol bought new ...Did the Roof of Africa as a sweep vehicle that year
Toyota Hilux
International V8
Toyota landcruiser 3.8 diesel LDV......threw the lazy SOB motor out and fitted a 350 Chev V8
Chev C10 ... had 2 of those
Jeep Cherokee 3.7 sport bought new
Nissan Patrol V6 LDV
Nissan Navara 2.5 dci bought new
Nissan Patrol 4.5 GRX
Mods on my Patrol include :

I have done quite a bit of 4x4 ing over the years. Worked in the middle east for 5 years and there the Patrol is king and thats where I decided the Patrol would be my last vehicle.
