New shooting wagon (and general use)

[Redditch]

So, after a woman ran into my other wagon (suzuki Vitara 2.0 TDi) last year, the insurance said it was just the bumper (I said it buckled the bodywork but they were having none of that)

Anyway, this year, 13 months after she hit me, I take it in for MOT (the insurance had paid for just a bumper repair), and where she had hit it, it had completely rusted through.

Garage said £700.00 to patch it, £1200.00 to repair properly, so flogged it to a mate who put it on an agricultural licence, and chose a Nissan Terrano 3.0 SE Di long wheelbase 7 seater 5 door.

Pretty chuffed with it, odd little stone chip rust marks which I'm gradually getting sorted, but for the rest in good nick. paid £4,000.00 for it, a 2005 with 110,000 miles on it and a six month warranty.

Averaging about 26.7 mpg at the moment, but should top 30mpg easily on a long run. Torque is amazing, and lazy driving is easy, but will shift if you want it too, with 154 BHP on tap.top end is about 105 mph, and 0-60 around 13.1 seconds according to specifications.

Looks like it'll do the trick.

 

My fiancée wrote off my Jimny, so I'm now looking at a Subaru Legacy to replace it!

Looks a very tidy motor - nice colour too.
