[NTennant]

Thanks Guys:) great welcome:)

Always loved Patrols - need to find one ASAP, test drove one in JHB south - I believe the previous owner was apart of this forum? (Potty?) car was very cool but had a few conserns:

- Auto
- Engine was rebuilt (not too sure by whom which was conserning but went well)
- Aircon system seems to not work
- Climate control seems to have been bypast?
- Power steering was not working

But wow WHAT a car!!

@JULES - thats a weird coinsidence but thanks and Shalom.

@Ricster - TL 1000R is an awesome bike man, at the moment I have a 2005 Honda VTR SP2 - lekka bike but its no where near as user friendly as the TL... but still good fun:)

Thanks Guys all the best for the weekend.
