Is it me?

Old Warthog:
or is there some sort of madness that afflicts 4x4 offroaders in general?  I've just totted up the amount of vehicles that I've had since taking up off roading.  Eight in the last 3 years.

Apart from my Grand Vitara, which has only been off road twice, I've either broken, got fed up with, found terminal rot or other major problems with the other eight.

My current off road cum plaything is a 3.5 RRC EFI auto.  This has been converted back to twin carbs so all the electro-trickery is not needed  :lol:

This month I was going to put a 2" lift on it and some MTs ready for winter, but the autobox (ZF) has gone t*ts up :cry:   I'm going to change to oil and filter as that seems to be the only thing that you can do to them.  Everything else is "specialist" according to Haynes.

So - is it just me or have other people gone through similar amounts of rusty metal :?

Cheers

Keith
