Life's strange

[2 rocks]

Well, a week ago I posted a thank you for assistance with my decision between a Disco and Patrol.

A week ago I was about to sign up for a 4.2TD Patrol.

A week ago there were were two of us - now there's one of me.

The Patrol is now a) too dear; and b) too big (one swag takes up a lot less room than two).

Consequently I have put a deposit down on an '01 TD5 Disco with 160kms.

It has ARB bar, side steps (I'd like to cut down to rock-rails, it's the Jeeper in me!), s/s intercooler, chip, dual batteries, snorkel and on-board compressor. Here's hoping.

Hope to pick it up next weekend and see some of you guys out there somewhere. I think I need some bush-time...
Cheers
Mike

"When one doors closes another one opens" Fortunatly for you it was the door to a new Disco.


Sorry to hear your going solo, good luck with the new wheels.

Shame I didn't have it sooner - what with Wilbinga just being up the road & all!

Although I'm looking forward to driving it from the current owner straight to the shop for a set of Kings & Konis. Oh and the last automatic I owned was an ED Fairmont - but the less said about that the better... :)

Ah! The furry magnet! What troubles it has caused throughout history. As you mature, you may possibly learn how to manage the item, but not how to understand the proprietors mentality.

Yes, well I thought after a 21 year investment, I had a bit of an inkling - clearly I was mistaken and the proprietor decided to relocate to greener pastures. A little more notice might have been good...:confused:

Took a couple of minutes to compose myself after reading this - Brian, I have seen many men try - but has any man ever truly "managed" the magnet.:eek::eek:

Don't give the young bloke false hope - just when he's got himself a chic-magnet (Disco) - managing the magnet has as much chance as Toyota has of building a fourbie with a soul.

Mike, enjoy the new vehicle:D.

[RichardK]

Sorry to hear of your misfortune but better now than later, you have more time to enjoy a new and hopefully better relationship.

I made that choice some 17 years ago and then at 45 was a big decision but a very good one.

Good to see the new fourby, I hope it gives you all you wish for, I hope to see you on the trail soon.

Lads!

It's nice to think that 43 still makes me a young bloke!
:cool:
Can't wait to get the bloody thing and take my cameras on a holiday to Lake Ballard - or anywhere for that matter.

i've been with my missus since the ripe old age of 15 :o

and i can safely say i still dont know whats goes on between her ears :angel:;)

Hiline - more power to you mate! After this long, I thought we'd be doing the "grow old" thing...silly me.

Bradtot - Lake Ballard (yep, WA) is a big salt lake north of Menzies. It's where those spooky iron statues by British sculptor Antony Gormley were installed (he scanned the Menzies locals and translated the data into metal). Apparently very strange when the wind howls through them at night...
