Hi :2 (14):

 

First an apology - I cant speak/write French :2 (20): but did learn enough at School (20 years ago!) to struggle through the menus. :2 (26):

 

Andrew from Whyalla, South Australia.

 

Patrol is a Dark Green 1999 GU ST 4.2 litre Turbodiesel LWB Wagon. I bought it new in 1999 with a heap of extras fitted.

The trade in was a much loved Black over Grey 1991 GQ 4.2 Diesel TI which had travelled 230,000 trouble free kilometres.

This is why we bought another Patrol.

Wife and I both have Company Cars so the Patrol is only used for getting away on Club Trips and Holidays.

 

Our main interest is Outback Touring. Can't get enough of this country.

The steering wheel is on the right side. Its you guys that have it wrong. :2 (15)::2 (26):

 

Claws are OK in sand and mud. They are really a rock crawling tyre not a mud tyre.

 

The cable under the dashmat (carpet on dash board) is the external antenna for the eMap.

ok, ok, ok..... And what about shockabs & springs ? In France, when we want to lift up our Troll, we put usually +2" springs (OME, Dob's, Iron Man). What about prices of shockabs + springs there....? :2 (21): I think we will be very surprise !!!! :2 (24):

Nous autres dans notre petite France ont a meme pas le droit a en avoir un!!!!!!!

Mais bon vu le prix du carburant dans notre contrée :2 (25): :2 (25):

You're the more popular Aussie on http://www.patrol-gr.net . More than Paul Hogan !

It is ce que dit my woman. :2 (15):

Posté(e) :

I agree to tell that that the most beautiful 61 are in Australia.

 

But you have a problem, the steering wheel is on the wrong side :2 (15)::2 (15):

 

If you are able to find the same as yours with a correct configuration, (french drive) I can buy it

 

 

Thanks for your pictures...
