Newbie is impressed!!! by djsarge1973 on Mon Jan 25, 2010 1:57 pm
Well I thought I'd say "Hi" to all you frontera owners out there, so here's a little histery of how I became a "FUNtera" owner, in July 2009 I was a victim of a road rage attack..some prat in his Audi A6 decided to have a bad day & took it out on my little pocket rocket (peugeot 306)...& since I owner a Shogun before I thought if I had one of those I'd be a little less Victimised!!! couldn't find one...but an "S" reg frontera came up for sale locally for £400...so I decided what the hell (even though there is a stigma over frontera's) well what can I say....Hell I'm impressed, o.k she's a little rough around the edges...(& my step father who's a mechanic saying oooh your going to have problems...BLAH BLAH BLAH) but she has NEVER done me wrong....& with all the snow we had lately...I was the only one getting around...even had an obnoxious disco driver laugh at me when my little 2.2 tank was going to pull a BMW up a hill...after a little slipping & sliding the little tank gritted her cogs...dug in & pulled the BMW up the hill..... 1/2 mile down the road..the same obnoxious landy with 3 wheels on the deck & 1 in the air...he slide straight into the ditch...."'ere mate couldn't pull us out" he said...."of course I could"...but I left him there...so their no landy...SO WHAT!!!! am so impressed...even my father is now looking at having my little tank.....& I want to get a diesel swb....
So people raise your glasses :party: to THE most Underated 4x4 out there....the Frontera

the ONLY let down...the Haynes manual for it...it doesn't show the route of the cam belt!!! & is very vague on many things

Welcome to the fold mate,

glad to see that your having fun, I was a bit sceptical about the fronty's ability but I have to say that it's a great little machine both on and off the road.
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
