If your turning your fronty into a offroader, I assume it will be play days only ?

If so no tax, Mot or insurance will be needed, just fuel.

So no expensive outlay.

Managed to persuade mine but took a while and the 2 things that swung it for me

My missus cannot be without transport, will not use the bus or any other means of transport aside from 1 of our cars and when the Frontera was being 'repaired' she used to get a bit miffed. Add in the fact that she wanted something we used as a family vehicle that didn't look like a ruffty tuffty off roader meant I could keep the Frontera and get a daily driver :dance:

Am now working on persuading her that I need 3 vehicles :wink:

Battle so far ! Frontera tucked away in the garage ! Wife's hadn't said a dicky bird until Friday when a snorkel and new boots arrived for the delica ! ( big mistake )
Wife- love what's this
Me. - snorkel and new tires for the delica , why ?
Wife - this mean you can play in the water in it ?
Me. - yip , ( continues to rattle on about raising the air intake blablablabla)
Wife- so what's the point in keeping the frontera ?
Me. - " stunned silence "
Soft arse here just shot him self in the foot !
