Hi from the southwest

Postby doppelganger on Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:49 pm

Hi All, Ive been looking for a Frontera for about a month now to get ready fro winter and i finally have one.

Great forum with loads of friendly and good advice.

I'm near Exeter and my beast or burden is a 1999 LWB dti with only 45'000 miles on it. starts and rives like a dream.

Pics and a little info will be in the rides section soon.

Hi,
I'm in Silverton about 8 or so miles east of Exeter. I spend most of my time at my unit near Kentisbeare just off J28 of the M5.

Thanks for the warm welcomes and my rides page is now done if you fancy a look. Havent seen many Frontera's about but I have seen one in my local Tesco car park. Another LWB B in Silver.

Hi Rob, and welcome!

Although I'm now in France, I have ties with that area, trout farms mostly :D and I think there was; or still is, a classic car scrapyard just out of Kentisbeare which was awesome.

Good luck with the Fronty, and give my regards to the Southwest!

Hi and welcome Doppelganger, this is a great site with great advice.
Mikeda, I am just down the road from you! At Bathpool so I pass through Kelly Bray all the time!
