Yep, sure am loving my truck. Got it in about March / April I think it was, after the worst of the snow had gone, so haven't have a chance to put it through it's paces until now....here are a few snaps of it around and about the Aberdeen city and shire areas. Make sure you toot and wave if you see me on the roads  Last year I was snowed in from 18th Dec to the end of Jan, when a local farmer towed us out backwards down the hill over all the ruts, then I left the poor wee van at the bottom of the hill and had a mile walk each way every day before and after work! This year, the car ain't going nowhere and the Fronty has paid for itself already!  The lane from the 'main' road to our house...   Was it something I said??  A trip up the A9 at the end of Nov when I had to get home...  Managed to get off the A9 at the junction up the road, went via back roads and the roads north to Aberdeen were passable with care...and 4 wheel drive Thats the only thing that lets the Fronty down, can only get 7 bales of hay in the back - anyone got a roof rack they don't need?  Who needs green laning sites when your road looks like this...

Thats some awesome snow. Wish it was like that down here.
I must admit I have been very impressed with mine in the snow so far

Way to go. You're obviously a serious driver. Hats off to the lady and her Frontera.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

About the only 7 bales:- Someone on here was taking an angle grinder to their Fronty and turning it into a pick up. Wonder how far he got. Can't find the link.
