Well after 10 years of touring Australia in our 1992 Nissan Patrol it was time to upgrade to a newer vehicle.

Noticing that the ol girl was getting older and since the Patrol was also a petrol 4.2 litre and quite thirsty when towing (or with a headwind 🤣) we decided to look around and buy a diesel Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

Twelve months prior to upgrading I had the chance to drive a friends Pajero Sport and couldn’t believe how good it felt. He raved about it every time I saw him and commented on how good it was on fuel, comfort and off-road ability.

Looking at the calendar and seeing what trips we had in the future I decided to call up the local Mitsubishi dealership and order a Pajero Sport. Knowing that it would take about a month before one was ready would give me some time to start planning the build before our first trip. Next up – upgrades 😀 and saying farewell to the Patrol 😢
