Made a BIG mistake
Posted: 22 Mar 2019 15:19
During a moment of temporary insanity brought on by a partially nagging swambo 18 months ago, I decided to part with my '98 140K kms kitted troll and buy a slightly smaller auto for towing mini swambo's horse boxes around that swambo could drive - she never got the hang of towing with a manual and i kinda suffered with the troll even though I knew it could handle the abuse... I know I know, you gonna ask why not buy a 4.8 then.... As I said I plead temporary insanity.Looking at going into a Biz venture that required some decent SFA 4x4's and I again looked around but time and circumstances unfortunately dictated 2 x 80/105 series cruisers were bought instead.
With a heavy heart, I just couldn't bring myself to either delete my avatar or resign from the club and spent the time looking at Patrols with cow eyes every time I saw one.... and I thought well that's it, never again will I have the pleasure of owning such a beast. Till, much to my surprise, Swambo after the last trip to Namibia casually mentioned that yes the VX120 Prado I bought was indeed a really good compromise 4x4 vehicle But... it wasn't a Patrol
So I looked around, communicated to a few members here and finally found my 2nd Patrol
- BTW Swambo has NO idea I've bought this and it WILL be a surprise for sure... Wish me luck when I tell her the deal is done and dusted and paid for. 
'98 GRX 4500 well kitted, 1 owner FSH 193,000kms.... Happiness Is
So here is a few pix of the Troll, I will collect it when back in SA towards end of next month - then hopefully I can take a nice pix and replace my Avatar!
lekker, lekker.
but once she gets over the shock she will love it... if not more than the last one
