Roachie's lost credibility

Des Lexic,
Shock, horror, At the very least the end of the world as we know it. The man with the backyard money tree. LOL.
Cheers,

Nay I say - denigration ? I doubt it - passing informed comment and expressing reservations would be more like Roachie ! And as you say Sed, mag articles are virtually all written by people with no economic investment in the product whatsoever, thereby reducing their thoughts to the importance of...of... well - not much (unless they review my car of course, and like it :0-)

Hi Des
Just because a mag says that the 3 ltr can tow better than the 4.2 only means that in there little test program.
What most people are looking for is a truck that can tow a trailer/ caravan for possibly long distances over what may not be ideal terrain for many years.
It is a known fact that the larger engines will do this but the smaller engines that are being stressed to provide the performance.
The smaller engines will accelerate faster but when it comesto the work part the higher and flatter torque curve will provide the pulling power for the hill climbs and a greater ease for towing the trailer
A less stessed engine will provide trouble free motoring, The same is proven on the large trucksBigger motors less troubles and to some extent can return better fuel ecconomy.

Dear Mr Lexic,
My team of lawyers are currently investigating your above post to see if there are sufficient grounds to commence legal action against you for casting nursturtions upon my holy name!
Those blokes at 4WD Monthly wouldn't know if the Queen Mary was up 'em unless it lowered a life raft!
Besides, AFAIK none of the vehicles tested was fitted with a FITCH, so what credibility do they have anyway???
Now, what was the phone number for that HiClone dealer??
I'd better go now as I'm expecting Pesty for lunch at any time soon, so I'd better go out and make sure I've mopped up all the oil from under the trol......don't want to give him any more ammo to pass onto you to fire back at me, do I?

Cheers

goodday des
sorry to destroy a good story but did they happen to mention 3to 4.2 blown motor ratio while towing or otherwise being used

i will keep my 4.2 also

steve
lololololol

Stop bagging Roachie immediately!

Next thing you will be drawing irreverent cartoons!

Roachie: I hear Nissan are about to release a merlin engined GU but that could just be a nasty rumour put about by the efi mob!

I haven’t had the privilege of meeting Roachie but as he drives a 4.2 ltr diesel Nissan Patrol he must be a man of discerning taste.

I know Des Lexic well. He drives a Toyota 100 series! Nothing else needs to be said.

Bear in mind that very same article rattles on about how you can drive the 4.2 litre in fifth gear at 1800 rpm in a 60 km/hr zone. Sure - with the clutch slipping!

Engine speed in fifth at 60 is about 1200 rpm.

No dont knock Roachie.
Whenever we have an EO meet our crowd always stands ourt from the other punters because there will only be one vehicle with the bonnet up, and four blokes discussing the latest innovation Roachie has been trialling.
We should make him titular head of our innovations and R&D department forthwith.
