Nissan is a Ladies vehicle?

Have I got Nissan owners attention yet?

OK, only kidding with the heading.

Kathryn (SWMBO) has been talking about getting her own 4B for ages. When we go on 4WD Club trips, we leave the rough stuff to others. Last thing we need is to damage the 'Lux which we use as our touring vehicle.

For months she has been talking about getting a 'shortie'. She wanted a 'real 4WD', but not a full sized wagon and only wanted to spend about $10,000. But she wanted a diesel and they are scarce.

Well after cruising the net for months, she bit the bullet today and bought one.

Got a 1990 Nissan 4.2 D. Bull bar, dual battery, drawer unit (rear seat removed), tow bar, power points in rear. Seems to be in very good condition and has been used mostly as a touring vehicle. About 260K on the clock.

So now we have a mixed marriage. A Toyota and a Nissan. Lucky we have no prejudice in this family.

With a couple of inches of lift and some better tyres (perhaps 33s), I think it will do everything we are likely to ask of it.

Just hope she lets me drive it sometimes.
