Are these the 3 best things?

[bungo64]

1. Living at 1100ft up a Welsh mountain
2. Heavy snow Yay!
3. My new (old) Frontera...

Its better than my Isuzu Rodeo was. And the Fronty is 8 years older..

Lodgers always welcome if they bring cakes.. I am based near a town called Llanidloes and it now seems to have this weather every year.

However all not so sweet. This morning I overheated..

The Isuzu Rodeo was either built in Japan or Taiwan the Frontera was built in Luton, other than engines and tougher (better quality) metal used in the chassis they are essentially that same as RatCav said (couldnt resist the better metal plug )

[RatCav]

You should see the chassis on my Mk.1 Trooper ... Thicker than my series A Fronty was

just need a master card lol

OOOOO playing hard ball now

Before the fisticuffs start, hehehe, I had better explain that I was not trying to offend Trooper owners, as I love them, and I know the Fronty has the genes from Isuzu. I was just pointing out that it handles the snow better than my Isuzu Rodeo. The 4x4 2 cab pickup. I think as it had no weight on the back axles even in 4 drive it still swung its rear out on corners. The Fronty is much better behaved.

[Drift]

Ahhaa that will because the cab will be leaf sprung and as you say light at the bum end, and the Fronty is on coils on a R reg, much better road manners

We dont use fisticuffs, we use handbags

[RatCav]

I am kidding folks. I have to agree with you about the twin cab. The pickups are as you say too light at the back and do have a tendancy to lose it when cornering. The extra weight of an estate does make all the difference.

And I would be the first to admit the 3.0 Isuzu Diesel was a hell of a mistake, though they have resolved it now.

And those early A series leaf sprung Fronties were just as good cornering, possible because Isuzu hit the nail on the head, especially with the Lotus handling kits which they hid from Vauxhall

Handbags it is then ... I opt for my wifes, it weighs a ton because its the size of a house and contains the whole world in

[Drift]

@ wifes bag, mine is the same, the wife not my handbag

Lotus did the Carlton

Carlton wasn't 4WD
