I just love the shear simplicity of the old stuff - the new stuff is great, but the old stuff really illustrates that pioneer spirit. ( I had an old landcruiser on the
farm that I had a milk crate with an old plastic chair cable tied to it as the drivers
seat - never on the public road though).
I saw a YouTube video of an old wooden spoked tourer pushing through some serious mud - I couldn't do that with my landcruiser (the weight would kill it). I can't remember if it was the same video or another one where the vehicle tipped over so they limbed out and just tipped it back on its wheels an tootled off.
Nice link by the way - I used to have a blue one of those XU-1 toranas. The power to weight ratio was absolutely stupid. I reckon it was one of the quickest, sportiest cars I ever owned. Looking at the auction estimate, I am feeling distinctly ripped off selling mine for $1000 in 1989
Cheers
