Re: Frontera status poll by RatCav on Sat Jul 02, 2011 7:15 pm
I was stuck as well so read the poll literally.

While my Trooper is road legal and all my Frontera which I sold for scrap 3 years ago is not. However I selected the other option as while officially scrapped it is still in service being used to pull a 16' wide 18" diameter concrete filled roller to flatten fields and golfing greens. Trusty rusty old 2.3 LWB :D

Re: Frontera status poll by snapper on Sun Jul 03, 2011 1:42 am
Boringly legal and used as a daily driver
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

Re: Frontera status poll by Wilberforce on Sun Jul 03, 2011 2:13 pm
Well I'm one of those tricky ones, too...

Got 2 motors, one of which being the 2.8 SWB which is my toy for at the SE woods - on SORN until she gets too much abuse and stops working, hehe...
The Bus currently has tax & insurance and is parked on my drive until I pull my finger out and MOT her. Not helped by the astronomical price of dieselthese days, and the fact I can cycle to work in about the same time as it would take me to drive. I'm not giving up on her yet though, she will be back :dance:
