Goodbye r3mR hello Hyundai

Well after deciding against a new set of tyres and wing repairs to my r3mR I have done the deed and changed it for a Hyundai Santa FE V6 petrol automatic thingy.

Its been a great 5 years with the Nissan and if the Hyundai only lasts 3 years it should work out OK for me costwise.

Collect the new motor on Saturday from a local trader it was relatively cheap and seems worth the punt.

I will post again when its been driven around for a bit.

As I am a real soft roader the basic permanent 4WD does not trouble me so watch this space with periodic update. I already know the steering aint the same!!!
