Hello there! by MrPete on Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:11 pm
A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to FOG by fudge & his fronty and I was given the wonderful opportunity to join the South East 'Weekender in the Woods' - thanks to Sally, Greg and all who were there! What an introduction to the world of off-roading, let alone how awesome Fronteras really are!

So having had a tiny bit of fun in my old 2x4 (a Toyota Starlet of all things!), it appears I've now bought myself a fronty and will no doubt be lurking around this great forum a lot more :wave:

Hey all, thanks for the greetings! Having picked my new motor up only last night, I can already atest to how comfy it is to sleep in.. :lol: Ended up a lil too tired to get all the way home after having given it a good run to a friend's place, so did the best thing and pulled off the road (safely!) and had a great night's rest.

Indeed, I'm looking forward to sorting a few lil things out on it, starting with a basic service (fudge helped me get the right bits, cheers buddy!) so it could be a fun weekend coming up! As for mods, we'll have to see - I'm happy to keep it reasonably stock for now plus my bank balance is feeling the pinch! All good things come to those who wait... save up.. THEN get them!

@Gem No worries, it was fun going round with someone who could vocalise how fun going round the woods were rather than just "AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!" like I would've done otherwise!

@hipo1024 I work on Hills Road by Homerton College. And keep the bumps gentle please, I'm still getting used to the size of it as a daily drive instead of me ol' Starlet! :wink:
