Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

^Needs Mad-Max 'charger rising out of the bonnet.

I need a dual cab and I want a canopy as well... Loads to be had, hopefully I'll be able to nab one through a friend of a friend out here... Anyway, back to studying my Aussie highway code...

1991 UN toyota landcruiser
these type of landcruisers look so rugged

and you saw what top gear did to a toyota hi lux get one of those kitted out for travelling and it should go on for ever, both of these were ubiquitous in africa

They are rugged, but not the most relaxing or comfy to just cruise around in. Very spartan inside too. Drove one 600klm in a day and very much felt it.

They rust.

Over here, the old school Nissan Safari's are driven by the Emirati's who want people to think that they're frontiersmen.

They do ludicrous things to the V8 lump and put balloon tyres on then drive up and down beach road revving them up to the limiter assuming that the noise will get the local girls moist...

Dear God.

A man from Scotland paid a deposit on my car, he's coming next Friday with the cash. I gave it a thorough seeing too last night on the way to my parents as a last hurrah.

More so than other cars?

Was bollox those were no where near standard vehicles.

Tap at the edges with rubber mallet at the creases and a punch at any sharp creases.

Oh and you an idiot :) Hope your mates ripp the piss out of you.

PS at least you didn't wedge the van in.

Hard to find as they are quite special bits so spares can be a nightmare.

This was my old one. Number 2 as number 1 got rolled going to brighton!!!! Bent and no broken glass and the fuzz got the longest breaker bar I have ever seen to reshape the arches so the wheels went round with out touching the bodywork. Still used it to complete the trip and till the mot...

Not more than every other car, but plenty.

Loved watching these roar around Reykjavik

I just googled "van crewcab 4x4"...
