We took the Patrol out and about before export in Spain:
"Climbing steadily up the mountain, I was really starting to enjoy myself. The SD33 has a very smooth spread of power across a wide rev range, and the slick shifting five-speed manual allows lightning fast gear changes when surfaces become slippery or progress begins to stall, allowing the kind of timely adjustments that are so critical when the going gets tough. Wheel slip was common on the rocky terrain, but the suspension felt composed and planted at all times. Slow and steady, I ground my way to the top, stopping occasionally to walk particularly nasty stretches or to sit for a moment and admire the views.
"I saw my first wild boar that day. And my second. A couple falcons and a whole bunch of sparrows. But no human beings. On a closed trail near the top of a difficult mountain, it's just you, the vehicle and nature, and that makes the surroundings feel pretty special. Why do it? Why drive a Nissan Patrol all the way up here, likely breaking a few laws and risking an embarrassing recovery if you put a wheel wrong? Because that's what Nissan Patrols do, frankly, and the challenge of making it up and down without help is an inspiring one."
