Ugly or really really UGLY

Its a bonus you cannot see from the drivers seat thats for sure,that goes for both .

That's why everything gets out of the way when the add goes "get in or get out of the way"

I think I'll get out of the way!

It's also known as 'FLUF' - Fat Little Ugly Fokker.

Is that a kind of opposite to BUFF for the B52?

Couldnt have said it better myself! LOL

Disagree on Series LR and WW2 Jeep for that matter. Both were a case of form following function.
Besides they had a type of uglyness you just had to love.

I guess you think formula 1 cars should look like a horse and buggy, All aircraft should have two parrallel wings one above the other, all ships should have sails, all people should live in caves.
Move on would ya!

I guess we've had a life time of familiarity with the landrover's , makes you like them just a little bit.

Showing our age now "The old Austin Champ" That was butt Ugly,What a classy front end grill etc, it was also my First 4wd but it took a lot of years to get a 4wd to be as comfortable! never was there a better river crosser & look Now we all fit snorkel's & it was standard
pity it was a peace of junk but fond memories & a great learning curve on what to never buy & how to fix/make do

Prob was the only time you owned a part of a Rolls Royce though eh !

I think all ships should have sails.

I agree with Frank

Too modern for me! I say stick with oars

Or a log with a broken branch as a paddle?

Glen, maybe it's just me - but I think Toyo has gone a bit 'metrosexual' with the latest rigs - just don't look like serious 4wd's.

Flame away ! :-)

BWAHAHAHAHA! Perhaps Toyota owners just like good reliable vehicles, unlike anything produced in England :-)

Their cars are like their planes...Heaps of bleep . My father made stacks of moey from British car owners from the 60's to 80's fixing them.....And their aircraft are like their cars....Get 'em wet and its electrical problems everywhere :-) Had more breakdowns in British Aerospace's fine products than anything else I've flown :-)

Wife's old KE30 Corolla did over 300,000km with little intervention.

Glen wrote: Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken- bleep scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever.

I agree Glen, Toyota's are good, reliable cars. Their owners won't take a chance changing brands when they're satisfied with the reliability of their vehicles. However it has nothing to do with personality or lack thereof. I agree they might be chicken bleep scared. I would be too if my only alternative was something made in England :-)

Gidday. (Ducks and Runs)..................Smiling most sincerely..

Woops, forgot. Yes, the new Toyotas are ugly (as I wrote earlier).....

Still running....

pilbaradisco . The discos are made for people that have absolutely no idea what a 4WD is. (Hence the vehicle) They were made for people who have alot of money and no brains and probably never been 4Wdriving in their life. (Hence the vehicle) They are unreliable, look like crap and have a very large rear vision mirror ( So the owner can see himself in it ) Personality?? Not in that vehicle. bleep scared people.. in a disco maybe. Toyota has long history of guts and reliability.

No one mentioned Disco's until you did!!
We have not been discussing (your words)"guts and reliability" but rather an individuals perception of what a good 4WD should look like.

I happen to agree with you that Scott M's vehicle looks a "real"4by but obviously others disagree.

As usual the mention of Landrover or things pommy brings out the one eyed Toysan devotees in force.

I am not a great fan of Toysans, I prefer my Disco but that does not make me wrong or misguided, just discerning.

Cheers

>> toyota has long history of guts and reliability.
which model 80 series was it the engines kept dropping main bearings in? as reliable as a 3.0 GU

A thing of true beauty hz75. No pretence - functional - been around Oz 3 times !
