2010 Nissan X-Trail ST-L
So I recently got rid of my 308rwkw '05 HSV R8 and picked up a '10 Nissan X-Trail ST-L Petrol with about 75rwkw.

Basically, the clubby would venture out once every couple of months and while I loved having it in the garage, it mostly jsut sat around getting dusty under a car cover.

So i decided to get a car that could tow, that I could throw the dogs in the back of and that I wouldn't be tempted to mod.

First on my list was '03 to '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee's, but after taking 2 for a drive I decided I didn't like driving a marshmellow and went looking elsewhere.

Stumbled across a '08 X-trail at a car yard and it ticked all the boxes, plus is actually felt really good to drive.

A short time later I found a 2010 example at a dealer near my place and ended up doing a straight swap for the clubby.

Anyway, here are some shots:

The first modification has already occured, as for some unknown reason the version released in Australia had the steering wheel button illumination disabled. Basically the wiring isn't there, but I am pleased to say that in my X-Trail, the wiring now exists (although no my finest wiring job) and the buttons illuminate.

Next on the list will be getting the front windows tinted as it looks a bit spaz with the rear being seriously dark and the fronts not at all.

The other thing I did was spend a good hour in the car cleaning off all the bloody Armoural they used on the interior! SERIOUSLY, they would have used a good 2-3 bottles and everything I touched left my fingers feeling greasy.

Fun times ahead!

Jokes aside,

I completely understand the practicality behind it, I'd love a more practical daily.

Cheers

So once they remove your balls can they re-attach them in the future or is it kind of a permanent thing?

Haha. Maybe. Investigating options around either getting into go-kart racing OR maybe getting into like MX5 racing.

Yeah I was really happy with the pick up. One owner before me who's name was "Morag" so it's had an easy life. :p

Nissan, I'm not American... or retarded...

They end up throwing in pink lip stick and tampons with it free??? JUST KIDDING haha. At least the clubby will hopefully go to a new home full of new adventures and probably plenty of tyre shreading and event meets :D.
Forever an awesome memory of your 6L cammed past car. Better then letting it go in a write off or something.
At least its an X-trail and something actually nice to drive. Congrats mate!

I'm sure it is. Fairly confident a member on this forum will be starting a new "My Ride" thread soon. ;)
