Peter York 4x4

i would keep my gq.
but if i had a big win i would buy as many of toyota drivers a nissan so they would know how good it is to own a real 4wd.
ps im only kidding dont get mad lololollooking foward to september(landcruiser park/fraser island)

Peter[wa],
I have not won the lotto but am about to retire and sell up. I tried to import a mercedes sprinter4x4 but mercedes will not bring one in at any price and they wont support one as a private import nore will they allow any imformation about servicing to be seen by any non mb employed person. So up them, I am planing to get a TI and have it stretched 1 metre and fitted with a tdi motor with an extra alternator to run a bread making machine. extras will include split rims and 750 truck tyres, air suspension, stainless water tank, marine gps, extra fuel tank in the stretch and 2 spare wheels under the back where the original tank was. Eric.

Lada Niva !!!

Then I could roll it off a cliff. lol

Suzuki Sierra fully optioned !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

f250 with a wrangler in the back.

A new optioned up and fully kitted GU Patrol ST 4.2TD

and one of the new V8 AWD Holden, preferably a HSV variant

and a some other cheap "a to b" vehicle for going to the station and shops. But then again, depending on how much the win was, I'd be retired and have everything delivered anyway.

peter
i would buy any thing as long as it had 4wd ,8 months with out a 4wd & still cant find what i need sarting to have withdrawals,but i think if money was no worry i might have a bash at designing & building my own.

Funny, hubby and I talked about this recently and decided on the following:

At the risk of being boring...we'd stick with our current 4.5L petrol GU Patrol. We'd probably add air lockers, a snorkel, long range fuel tank, Glind or Twine shower unit and a Sat phone all of which we intend to do on an as needed basis anyway.

On the camper trailer we'd get an extra water tank installed, some built-in drawers and an electric water pump, again all of which we intend doing anyway.

A Lotto win would mean we could get it all done straight away, pay the house off, spread some $ around family and friends, invest the rest and head off on a permanent holiday around Oz. No point taking a brand new rig out bush to run up huge k's, scratches and whatever other punishment it's sure to cop.

Oh yeah, and when we got home I'd by a Jag for non-4WD days. I think hubby would get a Manaro. By then our GU would no doubt have seen better days so we'd be ready to upgrade the 4WD to whatever was best on the market.

Oh, and I would become best mates with all those nice police people around oz!!!!

aaaahhhh, I love these kinda questions!!!

Tristjo.

I proberly spend the money on my 80 Series and do all the things to it that I just dream of now. But one thing I would certainly do is finish up here on the East Coast and move back home to the West - hang on I am doing that it December - I haven't won Lotto but just feels like it. Looking forward to getting home.

I saw a mean 6wd Royal Air Force cab over unit (similar to the OKA) and with a full camper conversion it would be.....'I'm outa here'A bad days sailing sure beats a good day at work

Get a chopper and fly everywhere instead,,grey nomads are in ever increasing numbers and it wont be long before traffic lights are installed on every 2nd sand dune in the desert and bridges built on every watercourse up to the cape,:):):);).

are they making a 4x4 turbo 12 cylinder porsche with elle as a navigator????Richard

All i wont now is a hf radio & the lotto win to afford time off to use what we have ,as car has everything else as you will see if you click on my rig. I have a very understanding bank manager, he understands i need money & i understand he want's a sh** load of money. Regards Bob

Hi
I would get one of those tank recovery vehicles that are 8x8 does that qualify?
Andrewwheredayathinkwer mike?

I think the rig that David saw might belong to the guy from the underground motel at The Ridge.
All of these dreams are the dreams that start revoultions.
For me, I'd like to build a big camp fire in the big beyond and pay the expenses of everyone here to come and join me, so we could all meet and share a yarn and talk of our dreams. And I'll buy the beers and put on the steaks. Good luck to you all.

You have posed an interesting question which I expected would have had a flood of arguements for the ‘Cruiser and Patrol. Instead I am amazed at the number of hybrids people would build. After reading your question I had a little dream myself and came up with one of three vehicles. All have to be turbo diesels and they are either the ‘Cruiser, Patrol or Rodeo. Last month 4x4 Australia magazine did a write up on the ARB Hilux. I discounted the Hilux because two people that have driven them a bit said if you did not have a bad back before you started you would by the time you finished. The ARB Hilux had all the things I would put on plus I would add a Glind shower, Black Widow draws and fridge slide, Cargo barrier, dual battery system with a couple of heavy wired outlets in the back, a good UHF radio and Sat phone aerial and connection and Recro seats. I would probable fit a Thule Polar 200 top box and a custom made rack beside it instead of the full rack system. Why the last two. Firstly the Thule is easier to pack and is dryer and more dust proof than a roof sack. The rack would be to carry spare fuel, gas bottle and tyre carcase. I think the Kaymac dual wheel carrier for the back would be another addition. The bottom line for all these things... over $15,000!
Never mind Cinderella, you may go to the ball .... one day.
