Oh Hello Bill


Well not quite an informant but just a slip of the tongue by someone who was in deep meaningful conversation with you not so long ago.....hahahahahaha

Maybe this person got the wrong impression when the discussion of the 200 came up.....LOL

No I will not divulge my source :-) But it comes from a real person.

Alas, all White Lightning and Barbed Wire was consumed some weeks ago

I am very relieved that you have refuted that the Dark Side is beckoning.

Cheers

Wayne,

There's only a few reasons why I won't buy a 200 series:

1). It's made by Lawsie's company
2). It has a slush box as standard (with no manual option from what I've heard)
3). It has an independant front end
4). It has at least one computer (probably more)
5). I assume it has ABS, VSC, DCS, CCR, DCM and whatever other 3-letter acronyms you can think of.....hahaha
6). It's gone all "flabby" and "girlie"........

I have become comfortable being an ol' fart with a sluggish truck motor under the bonnet.........

Roachie,

Nice try, but Willem said that you are getting a new 200 Series so it must be true.


1.Lawsie has retired so he no longer has anything to do with Toyota.
2.The auto box is very strong and a bloke of your age will need a auto box by now.
3.The front suspension is designed to give a limo ride over all types of terrain
4.The computer takes all the guess work out of driving the vehicle. All you have to do is sit back and relax.
5.All the safety equipment, if they did not have 3 letter acronyms it would take up all the advertising brochure.
6.Flabby and girlie is just a modern design.

PS Don't forget the photos when you get the new Toyota.
