Hey Hey ..check out my Rocky!!

Post by swartvark »

Some of you might know that I resigned from VW last year and now Freelance for them, but mainly Buy en Sell my own used vehicles.

Anyway......so I was told about this uncle who is moving and getting rid of some of his stuff.....including a 2.8 Turbo Diesel 2001 Daihatsu Rocky. He described it over the phone and made his price. He wanted a bit more than book value, but these are nice little vehicles so I agreed and bought the vehicle without even seeing it.

I was surprised with the good condition and...surprise, surprise....YES.....Free rooftop tent!! :dance1:

I'm going to keep this baby. :cooldude:

Haha........Het aan jou gedink terwyl ek daai rooftop tent uitprobeer het. Hoop die "tucking in of flaps" wanneer jy hom toe maak raak makliker met tyd.

Oja.......en die oomie het die heeltyd daarna verwys as sy Jeep. :laugh2:

Net soos jy daar se Thomas. En as jy 'n NUWE VW soek het ek genoeg invloed om hom lekker goedkoop te laat gaan.
Ek verkoop hulle karre, maar hoef nie by hulle reels te hou nie. :cooldude:..........Maar jou Pa gaan dit steeds beter kry.

Always like the Daihatsu brand its a shame Toyota stopped it . They were very innovative in vehicles trucks /vans / even cars they made over the years . Nice Rocky by the way .

Those Rocky's were awsome 4x4,s.My swaar had one and used to pit it against my old suzuki sj410 and I must admit that the Rocky had more space and a little more power and was very reliable.Enjoy.

Nice one Tiaan! Must admit I have always liked the Daihatsu's as well, sort of a cult vehicle :)

With a 2.8 Diesel engine, it certainly will never be lacking in power.

Now you gonna need another radio... :whistle:

Hahaa....Eric, another radio would actually come in handy, as I plan on letting my very young at hart Parents follow Swartvark in the Rocky on a trip or up the West Coast to Hondeklip in the near future. Hopefully this will be the first of many such trips. :thumbup:
