New addition to the FatBoy stable

Well, I finally traded the old Jackaroo in today. The old girl was getting a bit long in the tooth (316,000 km) and the Minister of War and Finance wanted something that was a bit more reliable. We have been looking for a while and narrowed it down to a couple of options. We needed something that would pull our camper trailer, and hopefully a boat in the not-too-distant future.

I ended up getting a '06 Terracan CRDi SLX with relatively low kms. I'll post some photos when the weather clears up.

We now have an all Hyundai garage, and the mother-outlaw has a Getz.

Congrats to you and the family Jamie.. I think that would be quite an upgrade.. I hope the Minister is happy (Happy Wife/ Happy life) Quick take a photo.. it probably won't last

(the wife's happy mood.. not the Terracan (unfortunate model name isn't it)

Congratulations Jamie.
My eldest daughter & family have a Terracan diesel manual and they have been all the way up to the north-west of WA in it with no reliability issues at all - it's been great.
It is also surprisngly economical for a big 4wd.
They recently headed up to Broome and the only problem they had was a road-train travelling the opposite way flicked a rock up and smashed the back window.
You'll have lots of fun in that.

Congrats, Jamie

You are loyal to the Hy brand..

That Terracan should be able to tow a big camper trailer or boat. Here in DK it's rated to tow 2800 kg.

Hope it will serve you well....

Well there you go.

Hey, why not Korean helicopters? My current ones are Canadian/American, French and German/Japanese. I do prefer the American ones with the Polish name though
