G'day from SA
« on: February 06, 2014, 12:12:32 PM »
Hello to you All,

Well have been following this forum for a little bit now and decided after now registering i should introduce myself and why i am here.

Recently bought our first family 4x4, 2013 PX XLT Ranger Dual Cab with Aeroklas Canopy and ARB Deluxe Bullbar.

We have decided 2014 was going to be the year of change for a better lifestyle. I have no interest in leaving this great country for a holiday as there is so much to see and do here. After having bubs number 2 i thought it was time to start setting ourselves up.

Have been using your forum for research and the like as we are planning on buying a camper sometime (when the savings account adds up) in the price range of $6K to $10K. Probably for that price range a well equipped pre loved unit if not one of these cheaper new ones that we can mod to suit us as we go.

Have a 2 year old and now a 14 week old both girls. Keen to buy a camper and most of all, just to travel the country for holidays rather then flying everywhere.

Keep up the great reading material and hopefully i can become a contributor before the year is out.

Cheers
Rhino

Cheers JCOJ

At the current rate of savings and tax and bonuses we have a deadline of September. I will take some pictures of the ranger for the MY 4x4 thread and put up over the next few days.

As for June i am pretty much out of Annual Leave for the year already. Kids specialist appointments April, Port Neil fishing in March, Possibly Finke with some mates in June and after just having the baby and 6 weeks off in October 2013 im all out of any sort of leave hahaha.

Cheers for the welcome. One day i will get along to one of these events.

Not quick enough at all. Is hard when your trying to save but your also trying to setup a new car.

We will get there soon enough. Patience is not my mate but got no choice but to wait when financials are your limitation.
