Soon to be terrano owner in Sunny Eastbourne !

[terranolady]

Hi,
My names kay,i get my terrano II 2.7td this week :clap. My toyota estima is 18 years old and dying a slow death. To be practical my husband has found me a decent tow car as we like to go away in our old caravan at least twice a year,the old gal hasn't got the guts to pull any more.
New car drives really well,makes my old car feel like a slug on salt ! Our mate will be dropping it off one evening this week and taking our old gal at the same time.
Was a member of the estima forum as my old gal was an import,i found them invaluable for advice etc..hoping to find the same here. I admit,although i am a mechanic,i know absoloutly nothing about the terrano...but i'm making it my job to !!
Hope i spend many happy years here !!!! Once i have my car i shall no doubt become a paid up member,well worth it...

Kay

Why thank you for the welcome.....

Wales- Eastbourne,Ringmer.....weather is the same...isn't it ?
Just more sheep in Wales....

I'm sure i'll love it here and yes a female mechanic...but i now work in our local college ,i run and look after both MV workshops...do the red file (yawn),health & safety (double yawn) and i'm the app' first aider which isnt very exciting..usually students spraying brake cleaner in their eyes...doh !
I'm really excited,sad i know,i had a drive of my new motor on Sat morning and i couldn't believe how easy she was to drive light steering,accelerates like a fast petrol engine rather than a diesel. To top it all it's manual !!! Must remember to use that clutch pedal thingy.......yay !!!

Settle down sweety , they are like army tanks fireing on one cylinder, with a broken track and a Turnip jammed up there exaust! but in saying that they can still tow a tesco trolley empty back to the rank to collect the £1.

Thanks
Hopefully we're getting it tomorrow evening :thumbs .Can you believe my husbands mate wants my K reg toyota and £300 !!!! I wouldn't mind but toyota's go for 12-1500 on ebay...but i've set my heart on it so . Good news is,he's just put 6 months tax on it....he he he.....
You know what us women are like when we get our hearts set on something !!!! It's rare for me to get excited about a car but this isn't just a car....it's my beast!!!!! No doubt i'll have lots of questions at the weekend when i've had a chance to drive her a bit !

will be back when i become one of you !

(nutter,looney,whatever!)
