first post - bought a perentie!
« on: May 18, 2016, 07:33:28 PM »
Have been lurking on this forum for quite awhile (and some others) lusting over 6x6 perenties... and today I managed to snag one at the minto auctions.... am now working out the logistics of driving it back to QLD and sorting out the rego.

this forum has been a great source of info and as I start to play with my new toy I can hopefully add something useful from time to time

Welcome and all the best.
I hope monday goes really well for you. Been there and done that - those mintos mondays seem to take their time coming.

It looks really good, near new canvas and a replacement engine. Enjoy your drive to Qld. I hope it all goes well.
