The Isuzu Fleet grows

Post by billyvanboheman »

Wasn’t sure if I should post this in the beginners section, or here, seeing it’s been so long since I posted :roll:
Things have been exciting and busy in our house hold, so the 4WD’N has taken a bit of a back seat.
We are expecting chidlet number 3 in November, so there has been a bit of a brake on the spending while we get all set up for the imminent arrival.
Couple this with being promoted to ICT manager at work, and having to help organise the move of an entire distribution warehouse to another location, and 4WD’N has been well down the list.
And of course we grew the vehicle family by another Isuzu as well, so It’s looking like 4WD’N wont be on the table again until at least summer.
So here are some pics of the now two Isuzu family.

Thought this was interesting as well.

I'm not allowed to do any mods to the new one, it's strictly the wife's on road vehicle, got mainly for the seven seats! :roll:

Welcome back! You forgot the recovery vehicle (in really small characters) now you are a two 4wd team :lol: you can do your own recovery's get those rated recovery hooks on "so it is safe to be towed" just in case ;) Sure you could get that past the financial controller :)

Shows how much Billyvan actually knows about the vehicles we own ... its actually a 1994 not a 1995. :lol:

And as the "Financial Controller" is actually a member of ORE the chances of him getting away with doing mods or putting tow hooks on on the sly aren't very high. He's got the old one as a dedictated 4x4 now, without me being vehile-less when he drowns or kills old one. :roll:

Once we've got the stuff we need for the baby which isn't very much at all, he might be able to pour some more money into the old one.

Cheers for the welcome back & the congrats. I'm all good and looking forward to getting back out on the trails. Albeit once bubs is born, I don't fancy having the poor wee thing shaken out of me while we're off road.

Look forward to seeing some of you out there in the not too distant future. :D
