Yes sorry Lou, the bullbar and winch were part of the deal, they didn't want us to remove them.

And there would have been a coldie in the fridge for you as well (seeing that you weren't driving)

We were thinking of dropping by Erich, but it was late and we wanted to get home and start removing stuff from the Disco.

We haven't picked it up yet, it's getting detailed and having it's pre-delivery stuff done as well as rego transfer, will be picking it up in a week or so, along with another new steed;)

Baz.

Sad to see that Disco gone Baz, those Amarok's are a great bit of kit.
Awesome economy, great engine, well laid out, good price and a decent tub you can actually use - enjoy!:D

So spill the beans Baz... is the other new steed a D4?

Congrats on the VW by the way, excellent car - my mrs wants one too!

Yes I have a customer trade his Defender in on one due to increased comfort needs for touring etc. He is quite tall and is VERY happy with it. I like the look of them, even one of our local dealer salesman has offered one to me to test over a weekend:eek:

Good choice Baz.:)

Is this the part where we conceed the fact that the Germans, after 65years have finally beaten the poms at their own game ? :p

Not yet:). I would like to see the engines in 300,000km time. The Toureg V6 and V10 engines I have heard have a few issues with excessive EGR 'buildup' etc requiring disassembly and cleanout, rather like the ZD30 etc etc.
The Td5 on the other hand is great powerplant, frugal, powerful and longlasting so it remains to be seen how this modern VW engine stacks up.

Shouldn't that "Maybe" be in extra large font Baz?

How do you think the Amarok would go with John's 26' fifth wheeler?

MAYBE:cool:

I would never put anything like that fifth wheeler behind any dual cab, that's just asking for trouble!!

OK, so yesterday we took everything off the car, we left the roof racks, bullbar, winch, dual battery system and Aux battery, antenna and UHF in the car.

This morning coming to work, not a bloody sound from the car, no rattles at all:eek: pretty darn good considering it's age.

Baz.
