Hi all!
I'm from Scotland and am a bona fide Vauxhall fan, being a memebr of the Autobahnstormers, TotalCarlton.com, OpelEntusiasts.com and the OmegaOwnersForum to name a few and I'm just about to make my first foray, (sp?) into 4x4 ownership.
The reason(s) I've chosen a 'Fronty' are many fold and if you want bored to tears then please feel free to ask, but I'll save you from the details for the time being.
Upshot is, that tomorrow I'm going to look at an '03 plate 3.2 Ltd 5 door car that I'm most likely going to put a deposit on, and while I'm wondering what I should look out for, I reckon I should've found you lot sooner!!
So am I in for a delightful spell of ownership, or should I reach for the valium?
Cheers,
Rod.

Awesome Rob, thanks!
Something tells me I'm gonna be a very keen member.
I've lots to find out yet as this is the first time I've logged on, so please forgive my naivity.
Just quickly though, what should I look for when viewing a 3.2 Limited 5 door?
(I know I should search, but I'm going to see the car first thig tomorrow!)
I can't believe I've not found this site before, I've been looking for something like this for weeks!!
Thanks in advance!!

I'll tell you the story in due course. It'a a doosie! (For me at least!!)
In the meanwhile I have to go to bed as I have a Fronty to purchase in the morrow.
All the best, than ks for your input for now and I'll tell you how I get on later.
Thanks,
Rod.

Well, I've paid my deposit and I pick it up next week.
What do you think of THIS?
It's smaller than I'm used to, (Omega), but I'm quite impressed with the way it drives.
I'll fill you in on the towing story later. It's not that funny really, more Ironic!!
BTW, while we're on the subject, do any of you know the max towing or train wieght of this particular Frontera?
