Hi
Since a young man I've loved the 90s shape Patrols, and the growl of the 4.2 V6 engine. Later, I learnt of the more practical aspects of the Patrol, awesome articulation, over engineered mechanics and the comfortable driving experience.
This last week an add on gumtree caught my attention and reignited my desire for a Patrol so I started hunting against my better judgement. This forum isn't helping either as everyone here seems to be of the opinion, "bite the bullet, close your eyes and swipe for the fuel as it is worth it."
I look forward to sharing some of your experiences and hopefully be in a position to make a calculated decision - Perhaps we can even come up with a winning argument to convince my wife.
Regards
Paul
