Belated reply tonight! After the long wait, l excitedly collected my vehicle on Friday! Thanks to the team at SLRV (Ric and Co). There was a minor muddle up on delivery which both Ric and I could only laugh at - won't bore you with the details.
I'll do a separate post on pro and con etc in a separate manner - this is just to show you where I have been since delivery (and yes sir is it's real).
Odometer is at 400km after only 2 days and half of that was taking the truck up to Lamington National Park. For those who don't know it, the road up that mountain is windy, hairpin central and you barely get about 80 at any point (probably average 40 going up). You need to dodge cows and roos for half the trip then tourists in vans who don't know what give way means for a single lane mountain pass!!! For a heavy bit of machinery, the Gren moves up light and heavy inclines with little effort and the diesel doing 'a little' work rings true to my ears. So today was a simple pleasure of taking the family out for a small hike and something to eat!
A few photos on way down.
Well worth the wait by the look of it.
