Pathfinders found Well, there's a couple here that found their way into Castril... this one is a '95 and is in great nick in spite of being the workhorse of one of the local builders.

Pathfinders Hi Terranosurus. They are these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nissan-Pathfinder-2door.jpg Can't upload URL - website says it is not an image file.

Pathfinders / Terranos I can get photos of first generation Pathfinders and Terranos if anyone is interested...:naughty

This one seems to have retained its rear wiper - whether it still works is another question. The motor on mine was burnt out when I bought it some 18 years ago and I have never bothered to replace it. I think what used to happen was the blade getting caught between the door and the window thus...

Unusual colour for a Patrol....

Thought I'd slip in another GR...

Reminds me of the old Bob Monkhouse gag 'My wife and I sometimes make love on the sofa, but I often catch her watching the TV. That's not the worst bit, she also flicks through the channels with the remote.' :(

@Barrbeast - love the snorkel! :clap Question - do you have to modify the engine oil dipstick as well? Is there a risk of water getting into the crankcase otherwise? :eek:

@Barrbeast - that is truly a great car! Beautiful! Here's another oldie seen today in the town, with a Badajoz registration, but I suspect it is owned by a local. Note the parking!!

@Barrbeast - Hi mate. Actually, I only picked up the Y60 thing when I joined the website, so have probably got it all wrong. Here we just call them 'Patrols', and in the rare event of seeing a more recent one, a 'GR'. They really haven't shifted many GRs here. Interestingly, a Spanish chap...

Move to Spain Hi Jim It is a great life if you don't weaken! No, seriously, I love living here and I love the countryside. I have lived on the coast in Murcia out of necessity but I much prefer inland, with the seasons, mountains and no tourists. Have a look at www.beautifulcastril.com ...

....and a nice codition Patrol that I saw in Huéscar last week.

A couple more..... Thought I'd include a Patrol GR as it was in such good nick. You don't see as many of these as the original Y60s.

And the Patrol. I was using it for weeks after the crash while the garage was looking for a breaker's door (Spain isn't the speediest of countries!):

Hi Jim Totally agree - nice to have some metal around you. Even offroad, you find yourself skidding into a bank or rock - just reverse and carry on. Half the cars nowadays have plastic wings. I looked up a couple of old photos of the crash:

It amazes me that the paintwork on these cars is still in some sort of condition. 28 odd years in the Spanish sun, which can strip varnish off wood as you watch it, which bleaches everything, which is so strong that you can burn yourself on the car's bodywork, which has been scratched by...

The insurers wanted to write it off on the grounds that it wasn't worth anything until I showed them the car sales websites. I didn't want the money, I wanted my car back! There was also a dent where we spun round into the van. The panel beater said that it nearly killed him knocking it back...

Ooooh - getting on for 18 years! She has 450,000km on the clock and the original engine. She's been a good friend to me (wish I could say the same about the missus!) and saved my and my daughter's life through strong construction. (We were T-boned on a green traffic light by a Renault Megane...

@terranosaurusdoug - yes, we have all sorts here - Mitsis, original Landies, Gallopers (Spanish made Mitsis), Mavericks, Opels, and even the odd Land Cruiser. I like them all, but my true love is my RD28 Y60 1989 :thumbs
