Re: First post, on the day for the last post.

Now if you all promise not to laugh I'll show you how I got out of that hole in the river. You promise? OK http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab7/gadgetman_nz/01-03-08_1629.jpg That shame, the shame! I'd hauled him out several times earlier in the day, but that didn't really help.

Re: First post, on the day for the last post.

Yeah, stuck square on top of the fence at the moment. Power doesn't worry me too much. Looking round here the Cruiser takes more engine/drive train maintenance than the Safari. The Safari has rust issues due to the double skinned roof trapping condensation. Personally I'd be better doing the ...

Re: Nissan Safari vs Landcruiser 80

Interesting thread and just what I'm looking for. I had an '89 LWB low roof auto Safari for 13 years and now am looking for a replacement as it got stolen about a week and a half ago.

First post, on the day for the last post.
