G wagon withdrawl syndrome
Hi all, as you might remember i sold my G a few months ago. (i was moving house and it was one less thing to move!)
Now i find myself lusting after one again, im evening trying to make the wife think she wants one!
Im not sure what to do, buy a 460 to have some fun with or a nice 463 for the forth car slot in the driveway :?
Or is no G syndrome only a short term thing........
once youve been exposed to the G virus its in your skin, its in your hair, its even in your pants, there is no cure, :( god help us
463 - you can do both! Get a 500 and you can join the 'Fat Cat ' brigade! :P
Spider1V - 500 it says 'I can off road or I can on road but most of all I can drink lots of petrol!' :roll:
Heal your wounds, and get a Nissan !

I can just about live with a toyota...but nnnnnissan!! had a cabstar before...SCRAP!
463.... you can still off road and have fun... plus do it in comfort... in other words probably an easier sell to the wife!
4 off roaders ! Why ?
Well its like this
CJ7- had a long standing argument with my best friend since we where 4 over which was best Land Rover or Jeep (my Dad had a landy and his farther a Jeep) When we where about 18 he bought a landy so i "had" to buy a jeep! then almost killed myself in a big RTA in it and rebuilt it afterwards and dont think i will ever sell it.
Zuki- Challenge and trialing truck small light and goes everywhere.
Nissan- my daily drive 500miles a week on tarmac and several miles off road
G- I want one!

Nissan.... why? (you had a fatter cat than I did! :lol: Mr. 5.6 V8....)

Must admit every now and again I miss my G but I also defected to the Nissan patrol camp, got one of the earlier shaped ones and then upped the engine from 3.3 to the 4.2 Diesel.
Even the 3.3 had more poke than the standard 3 litre diesel G, the 4.2 is a decent lump, and it comes in turbo flavours also.
Plus there cheaper to buy and get parts for.
Would I still buy another G For the right price, probably, but I would struggle with the performance now as I do a bit of towing.
