Bye bye 'Frog'

Bye bye 'Frog' by micktheshed on Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:28 pm
Finaly got round to selling my apple green '97 Sport S. Haven't been able to drive it any distance all year due to dodgy knee & finaly resigned myself to saying goodbye.
Wife's near to tears, & I'm missing it already. Have owned it 13 years (from 2 years old) & its been a gem. I've driven 78K in it (mostly towing a caravan) with only one breakdown: a leaking rubber fuel pipe. Though it did have a noisy bearing in the gear box, but that didn't actualy leave me stranded. I don't usualy get attatched to cars but this one has earned its keep despite all the flack I've had from LR etc. owners (but not those I've towed out of trouble though LOL).
Only hope its replacement (an auto Nissan Terrano) is as reliable!
Now have a shed full of spares which I will list on here as soon as I can sort through them.
The end of an era.............

Many thanks are due for the extensive amount of info & help I have recieved from this web site & its posters.
Without being too patronising I can honestly say this site beats them all.

Sorry you've had to get rid of your Fronty mate I feel for you :crying: I also tend to get attached to these little beast's there's something about them I guess :drive: mind you I quite like Nissans, I had a patrol when I worked in the Libyan desert back in the eighties and it was brilliant, better than the green ovals we had, which fell apart
