Fronie se bakkie Fronie se bakkie

This is my story:

I firstly want to start of by saying that there is no Bakkie that you can compare with an Isuzu! I bought my first Isuzu KB 280 ( single cab ) in 1997 and drove it well over 600 000 km... Then decided in 2001 to buy a double cab. It had 92 000 km on the clock and being he second owner of the double cab i never looked at another bakkie again. At the current moment i'm using my Bakkkie for my sinker bussiness and about every second weekend me and my bakkie drive down to the coast of KZN with about 600kg of sinkers on the back! And my Bakkie still have the same power as the day i bought it ( the engine and turbo has Never been touched). The most major thing I ever had to do was to calibrate the diesel pump. I get about 145 000 km on a set of Continental tyres ( Very few tyre company's want to believe it ). The biggest thing I ever had towed was a 2.5 ton Bending press and it was a breeze with my Isuzu. I couldn't have made a beter buy and will drive it until the wheels fall off ( which will never happen with an Isuzu !!!) Isuzu for life and it delivers!!!

What do you think?
