JONGOSI

Post by davejones »

After a very long search for a 4x4, and very short search for a Patrol, "Jongosi" has found a home. :woo:

She is a 1995 4.2 SGL Petrol, with 230,000km on the clock, a front runner roof rack, banana branch and free flow exhaust system. She has a full service history and has been immaculately cared for. The owner in Randburg was being hurt by the recession and was VERY sad to see her go, it was a moving ceremony of handing over the keys! I paid R85,000 for her, not the best steal in town, but with someone already having put in an offer I paid the asking price - I'm planning on keeping her for another 200,000km at least!!

I took delivery of her last week Tuesday night, and Friday morning was straight off to the Underberg, where Jongosi was an absolute tank up Sani Pass and through Lesotho to Ficksburg.

My GF loves her, and for the price I have kept my 2wd family member as well.

I am so addicted to Patrol right now I havent stopped day-dreaming since getting back from Lesotho....

Tjiers!

David

:thumbup: thanks guys - I really am looking forward to accumulating many more miles, and extras !!

Downloaded the completed Nissan Patrol Y60 service manual today, so Jongosi and I are going to have a very intimate relationship :wink:

As for "JONGOSI" - it means young powerful ox

Congrats!!!

Jongozi will serve you for many kilometers!! They are practically undestructable, provided you look after them, which I am sure youm will!!

My first Patrol was the same model, loved it to pieces.

Regards
