Cookie,
As other have mentioned time for some good stuff, I've now been in Oz for 13 years and loving it, never had a fourby until I got here, my first venture was a petrol FJ 40 76 of origin, absolutely bomb proof, towed my boat up
hill and down dale, never let me down, like fuel and lots of it but that was it, Noddy by name, I then ventured to an 85 Jilleroo, 2dr 2.2 turbo diesel, great fuel economy still used for towing the boat, air con, power steer, luxury at it's best, daughter arrived and I went to a $9000 MQ patrol 3.3 diesel my first intro into a bigger fourby market, great bus, boat got sold, clutch was the only mechaical bit I had to replace, plus a better streo with really big speakers to overcome the noise of the Khumo mud terrain tyres, separated went and bought a
sedan, lasted six months and I then bought an FJ40 soft top with a 302 Windsor in it, wow what fun, got into real fourby driving now in a big way, second childhood, this bus was great, liked the fuel again as I've now come to associate this with petrol fourbys, got down to a litre a K on one beach run, never let me down, just the occasional service, went anywhere, no lockers nothing, met my now wife and she also loves all the things associated with 4W Driving, camping touring off road stuff, bought my '92 Nissan GQ and it's got all the extras I need,
well set up at least I like to think so, very reliable, parts are relatively cheap, easy to find. there is a lot to discuss with others, different gadgets the good times and couple of tales of woe you like to laugh at. I also a Rangie now as a bush hack and what an awsome tool that is took it out at the weekend for a bit of a work out, what fun, it rained all day, I rolled two tyres, got completely soaked changing one of them I might add, but it was great.
Cookie is that what you were looking for?
