And now, I totally want a winch

Recently, Brian and I decided that it was time to upgrade the ute. We were both dead tired of the “white work ute” look (him more than me) and he wanted something a little flashier. More bells and whistles and whatnot.  (Is whatnot an actual word or just a lazy persons slur? - I’m using it anyway)

After a lot of consideration, we decided to move away from Toyota (gasp!) and spring for a Mitsubishi Triton. It’s perty lookin’, it has all the bells and whistles and whatnot (hehe) a person could ask for and it’s a 4 wheel drive.

*insert collective “Oooooh!” here.

So now that we can go off-roading, we of course feel the burning need to drive on surfaces that are not meant for cars. Beaches are pretty cool, rocky trails are cooler.. and hey! camping is fun right?

This is totally going to change our lives! *Note sarcasm. For those of you that know me, you know that Murphy keeps a constant eye on my doings so it stands to reason that we’ll need rescue gear ‘just in case.’ Recently, friends of ours wound up paying over $1000.00 for a tow to get out of trouble (as an alternative to sleeping over at creepy tow-truck-guys house - as offered.)

Now I really don’t want to be spending nights in the bush with creepy tow-truck guys so I guess we’re gonna need a winch.

But first…. it’d be great if the truck was ready…

Watch this space!
