Title: My 4x4 Update
Post by: Brian the Sn@il on October 03, 2005, 21:11:06

Ok guys after everones input regarding 4x4s

I have booked a weekend drive in a NEW Navara.

Being a commercial vehicle i can claim 40% of the cost of this vehicle back int he 1st year !!!  
So being a person who pays 40% TAX anyway, thats a massive lump off my next years TAX bill :) ( probably the 1st years depresiasion)


So the Navara is going to be test driven.
I collect ont eh 15 October, and i will take soem Pics and provide a write up for everyone.

If anyone wants me to try anything with it let me know.

Funny thing is the Volkswagon Dealer asked if i wanted to take out teh NEW 4 motion (4WD) tranporter , as it hasnt been offroading yet ( he said that)
I said, i dont think it will be up to what i have in mind ;) LOL !

anyway, things are moving, but at 24K for the Navara, i still cant find another commercial vehicle thats as good for the POWER and Performance ?

We met a guy at Aston Cantlow once in a VW transporter which was 4x4 and lifted. He coped quite well throughout the day.

From what i've read it supposed to be good on the road but its far too long and low to be any good offroad but then thats a problem with pickups.

I've bought a fair bit of kit off LA Supertrux. The guy who runs the company, Nigel Morris has some SERRIOUSLY lifted trucks!!! It's worth going there just see them.
