Hi Swifty

Where are the rest of the pics? I must have smoked the wrong stuff this morning. Did not see the attached picture.

Hi Niel,

I bought the 2.7 3 months ago, so I haven't done a lot of traveling yet. I traded my 2.2 for this one. With the 2.2 SFA I did a some nice trips inter alia Richtersveld, Mabuasheube Pans, Kagalagadi and Baviaanskloof. Also most of the 4x4 trails in the Western and Northern Cape.

Regarding my "new" ride, I almost forgot to mention the long range tank: last week I stopped the pump attendant @ 148 liters, because I had only R1,000.00 on me!
