Another Patrol convert.....

After countless hours of researching this forum and many others, both locally and abroad, my perfect vehicle was a 4.2d pick-up patrol. After months of looking for a decent one, with-in the usual budgetary constraints, proved fruitless.......

However, as luck would have it, i was informed by a friend that one of his friends was selling his 2003 Patrol 4800 AND it fell with-in my budget!! :blonde: :blonde:

Oh well, who cares about good diesel consumption! No ways i was letting common sense prevail over what the heart wants!! :lol: :lol: After the test drive, i was sold.............

So, here she is:

Just want to say thank you to everyone that has given me advice on the forum, as well as all the other forum members that has put together this brilliant resource!!

Regards

Well done, that's an excellent choice.

The 4.8 is amazing for towing and just about everything else, enjoy it. :thumbup:
