Back from The Gambia!

SilasStingy · 12-10-2016, 10:22

Hello everybody, I'm back!
The trip down to the Gambia was Amazing in so many ways. The car kept marching forward without any problems! Roughly 10000km of Terrano power! I will make an extended post these days with pics from the journey.

I ended up selling the car in Gambia and of course when I got back home I felt empty without my lovely project. So I just got myself another one, this time with the more powerful ZD30 engine. It's from 2004.

Would love to do something like this one day.

Well, I think I got about £1500 more than I would have got in Sweden. (The fact that It had an auto box lowered the price a lot, they hate autos cause few can repair them there), and then to buy a Terrano in Sweden is a lot more expansive then in the UK!
All and all I would say that you for sure will get your money back for fuel + extras if you don't spend too much on mods for the car. That never pay itself off. Not here either.
An original Terrano would easily make it to The Gambia, it's just that it's soo much more fun to ride a proper truck!
Then to actually sell the car without getting ripped off is another story

Nice truck, that looks like quite a lay ground for a Terrano!
