    Cool I am back.... well, soon anyway

    Have just bought a 2001 D2 manual.

    Not seen it yet, as it is in WA, and I am in SA. Yes, I bought a car, without even seeing it...

    However, it belongs to a mate's son who is a diesel mechanic. The mate, who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent, owned the car prior to selling it to his son.

    So, in a few days, it will be on a truck, and travelling across the Nullarbor in luxury.

    It has had all the usual D2 quirks taken care of, and there is nothing that needs to be done.

    However.......

    What is already on the list to do...

    Custom made rear draw unit, with built in workbench / table
    Reversing camera
    GPS
    Bluetooth for phone


    Cant wait.

    So the step from D4 to D2... That's a big one...

    Are you ready for it?
    If you try to switch gears and don't know why it's not working....

    That's a paddlin'. But fear not Simon tells me it's an area of common confusion!


    Congrats!!

    The big, black, beautiful beast will remain, and spend her weekdays doing the boring jobs like school runs and going to work into the city. On the weekends, she comes back to ME.

    Oh, and we all know the black ones go faster than red ones. :P
