Photoman Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: New Zealand Vehicle(s): 280GE, ML500, 280SE 3.5 | RE: my new G gwagen460swb - 12/13/2006 7:42 AM Wow Sean! You either had to sell a lot of kiwis or sheep to pay for that G. Like I have said on numerous occasions, having a G is like a disease or addiction. You just cannot have one. Too bad you have to wait a while for it to arrive from the Land or Landcruisers and Pajeros. I'm sure the local farmer wont miss a thousand or two sheep This is going to be a pianful month or so - I just go an email confirming that the Decemebr boat is full Oh well wil make it al the more interesting when it does finally arrive. | ||

It's a '93 300GE with leather seats, sunroof etc etc and only 63,000kms - 39,000 miles. Very tempting. Only problem is I wont want to sell any of them!!!!! | ||

Phil I can't wait to see it first hand. I have just got off the phone to my brother and he says it looks great. Even the wheels are unmarked I guess the owner in Japan was fussy - all good for me. | ||

Well - nothing he he he he... This one I'd like to keep standard as it will be the daily driver for wife and kids as well as the tow vehicle for the boat. It has good Dunlop 265s on it to. Maybe when the shocks get a bit soft I'll throw a set of Konis at it, but other than getting a tow bar fitted no plans at all - believe it or not I can't wait!!! I'll be seeing it in about 12 1/2 hours and counting!!!!!!!! | ||

Phil It is not surprising to find an early-'90s G to still be in excellent (or even near) original condition--and I mean here in the States. In addition I have heard of Japanese owners keeping their Gs pretty pristine. I have an '82 280GE that still looks dashing. | ||
