Tejan Pillay (DMH) 95 GQ Patrol 4.2D
Hey There Trollers. So here's my story: My laaitie bru actually got me hooked on the GQ Patrol a few months ago - the first time I saw one I was blown away. I can't fault the styling - to me, it's pretty much perfect - couldn't have been a Jap that designed it, cos it looks like an alpha-male Lada Niva But finding a diesel in that model looked flippen hard so after a few weeks I stopped looking and focussed on the Gen2 Pajero's. Spent months of research and eventually got one a month ago. And then I found her on Monday! The seller was a genuine chap and I still can't believe no one snapped her up before me (she was on OLX for a month). Do you cats perhaps know something I don't? I paid R80k incl. the winch. And here's the OLX ad: http://potchefstroom.olx.co.za/nissan-p ... -779381924
Would really appreciate your thoughts on her!
Oh and to pass COR I'm going to need both rear tail-lights - I've tried David (Volschenk) already and found a link to a Taiwanese site that another Troller put up. If anyone knows of any, you know where to find me!
