I've finally got my money down on a sale. Damn solicitors arsing about for months!
So its not actually an Isuzu, well it is, its just got a girlie name lol.
I might just have to call her Sue.
Its a Monterey 3.2 V6 Diamond, running LPG. I can't wait to get her home, but was too excited to wait before sharing
Good timing too if the weather forecast is anything to go by!

After almost 2 weeks, I am totally in love
In truth it took about a day or so but like any new car, the first week is just listening out for rattles and dodgy noises while you wait to break down. No I've relaxed I can enjoy the fun.
I stuck some Insa Turbo Mountain tyres on to replace the caravan towing slicks that were present when bought, and its in for an oil and filter change along with transmission oil change in the morning.
She was also treated to a DAB/CD player so I can listen to Planet Rock. No expense spared
As much as I love my Toyota Space Cruiser, I just go every where in the Monty. I can't get enough of that lovely V6 noise. Bring on the snow!

Sorry ecp, only just noticed your question! its a Sonichi SB40 DAB Digital Radio with FM/CD/MP3 & Aux-in from Halfords
The DAB was easy enough. Easier if you have fingers like ET though I took the storage box out to help with locating the wiring loom correctly when putting the new radio in. The ariel lead is long enough to allow you to fit the mag ariel wherever you want. I ran it behind the carpet in passenger footwell, out the door seal and up the window edge trim, leaving only about 5" of lead showing on the roof. No ones nicked it yet, and it works great.
It has a handsfree mic too if your phone has Bluetooth. This was put up the inside of the drivers side window to the sun visor, via the tiny storage box on dash by door.
