Hello from the UK

[BIGBADWULF]

Hi all,

my name is andy, also known as Wulf, I live in the NW of england and drive a Nissan Patrol,

been a long time visitor to 4x4offroads but only just noticed the forum.

It as been a long time ambition of mine to visit Iceland to explore the Highlands in summer,
hoping to do it maybe next year?

My patrol is a 1997 2.8TD SWB, pretty much standard apart from a 2 inch lift and 33 inch tyres.
Hopefully soon replacing the RD28T engine though with a RB25DET from a Nissan Skyline
should be interesting

heres a pic or two, look forward to exploring rest of site,

Hey Andy!

Welcome to the forum - glad you finally found it

Nice Patrol you got there - thanks for sharing

The tall and narrow house looks kind'a strange. I picture it more as one house in a row in an English town. Any story you can share about it?

Should be easy for you to take the ferry to Iceland one day - just pray for good weather...

thanks for the welcome Thrandur!

The "house" is called the Pigeon tower, and was used for pigeons believe it or not!

please click this link for a little information on it,

It is on a short rocky lane that I sometimes drive my patrol along, and my young daughter
likes to play in the oriental gardens that surround it

Hello Wulf

Rivi hey, I cycle round there very regular and I'm also picking up my Patrol this afternoon so hopefully I'll soon be visiting the old Pigeon Tower even more regular......

Nice looking truck mate, did you post another photo on another forum going down the "Ice Cream" run leading to the top carpark up Sheep House Lane......?

I'll get photos of mine up in the next week or so as I'm of on my hols tomorrow......

Have a top weekend
