Our OTHER New Baby

Unlike the computer that tried to die on us and we had to replace, we knew for a while now that we needed to replace John’s 1997 car. What we didn’t know was what a difficult decision it was going to be. Do we replace it with a new, small car for everyday commutes? John really wanted a 4×4. Often we go to the bush and he would like to take me down trails that your every day car can’t go. Once we decided on a 4×4, then it was a matter of which one. We had three in mind, a Jeep Wrangler, a Mitsubishi Triton, and his son’s choice, a Nissan Navara.

We decided on the Nissan Navara, I suppose it came down to price, in the end.

I have been told to inform everyone that in Australia, this is not a truck.

This, in Australia, is a dual cab ute, so there.

In the end, for our outing in the country this weekend, it did its job on non roads like this, through deep bumps, over termite mounds, and we had to cross a ditch and for that, our ute did very well.
