Hello all from The Netherlands, 2.5 TDS 1997

Postby aquaplanning on Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:20 pm

Hi all,

After some scary moments on trailer slipways with my boat I decided to buy a decent 4x4: a Frontera 1997 2.5 TDS. Last 4x4 was a Opel / Isuzu Campo pickup. Brilliant on the slipway but unfortunately not on the road, was replaced by a Nissan NV200. Hence now another 4x4!

Other interest: boat building (last project a 6 meter double ended plywood speedboat), diving, motorbikes (past: Honda CX500, CB400, XLV750R, now a Suzuki V-strom 650).

Welkom op het Forum stuurman.

Uit interesse, welk deel van Nederland kom je vandaan? Ik heb een aantal zeer gelukkige jaren in Brunssum in de vroege jaren '90.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Owning a 2.8 is a hobby in it's self...

Hi and welcome. As Frank say's, which part of Holland are you from? I've had many bikes, 2 of them were the GL500 and the CB400. There's lots of helpful people on here.
Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
