Is your 4wd your d/d ?

Yep, as a friend said "I don't like cars, my hemmeroids are too close to the ground".
As for cleavage, to pinch a concept from a well known holy man, it's like looking at meat in the butchers shop window. You can look, but can you really afford to mess with it ?

Haven't driven one. Maybe if I had a shave and put on my white boating slippers , hung a jumper around my neck and bunged on my best accent, I just MIGHt fool the salesman into letting me sit inside one LOL

Had a 99 Rangie HSE for a few years.

In terms of "feel good factor" it ran rings around anything else I've ever had.
The missus is still crook I sold it, she felt likewise.

People love to knock them but there is nothing remotely like them.

Think I'll go buy that ticket. Prices are now stratospheric.

And with my luck you'll win !
If it were raining $50 notes, I'd pick up an invoice :((

Actually there's a jet black with chrome wheels you can use as a mirror RR sports around this area. It has tinted windows, and is driven by a lady with blonde hair, black dress and high heels. Truly.
I have to admit that my base side started speculating about just where the money came from :)))

Think that's called a double whammie.

You know, she's probably a highly paid successful business woman. But being a bloke, I rekkon I know which business(and yes, I'm just jealous..of the car of course)

Stu, I used to lust after the 100 seies V8 or T/D until I found out they create enough HF noise to cease listening very quickly.

Mine is the poverty pack 1HZ, with none of that electronic HF noise creating B/s.
(not even turbo'd)

Stu, I have the 80 series povo pack. Slow, but if I wanted fast I'd drive a sportscar.
Absolutely no HF noise whatsoever :))

Yep, they sure are slow, or should I say, lacking acceleration.

But what's the rush? Get out and enjoy the place. :)
The only HF noise I get is when somebody in a common- rail injected computerised space shuttle buzz box pulls up beside me at the lights.
BTW, the worst offenders are Hino trucks.

My bro has a Prado and it seemed reasonably civilized. But there's a lack of space in the rear compared to the L/C.

I think you half estimated its half reasonability

Because I have grey hair, wear a baseball cap and drive at the speed limit, you can imagine the hassles I get from temporary Australians. One passed me today, blind corner and over the double lines. I know what the vehicle coming the other way thought, and it isn't polite :)))

I'd rather drive my vehicle in the bush. Neither it nor I were made for the "me first" generation :((

Yep totally agree with you there gmd. I use to park the hilux everywhere cause I know if they opened a door up on it it would hit the side steps and damage theres not mine plus steel bullbar up front and rear steel step bar up back. Now in the prado I park next to a pole if possible and park down the bottom of the car park and walk back to the shops not way out the way but far enough. I cant win over in my local shopping centre I park either the prado or the wifes new toyota at the bottom and park on the high side so if a runaway trolleys let go it will go the opposite direction to where Im parked and you can bet your life on it Ill come out the shops and there be no one else around at 11pm at night and some other clown will be parked on top of me and 200 other spots available cant win. When we were in the commodore one day wife ran in to shops while I waited in car knowing that other people dont give a fuc# and while I was sitting there 2 cars down heard a thump bird jumped in her car opened up door and slamed it into car next to her. She was in the new grande prado the other a brand new getz. I jumped out and asked her did she realize what she had done to this persons car and she said what do you expect in a carpark. Told her she was lucky it wasnt mine or she would have had a boot in the side of hers. She told me politely to fu## off so I waited till the owner come out and gave her the offending number plate and my phone no as a witness. Never did hear anything back. Regards Steve m

Steve,

I find that if you swing into the parks at the far end of the shopping centre carpark, most of the time you can walk to the door while the car that was in front of you entering the carpark is still looking for his (her?) park. Think I can convince my mrs of that? Ha, another story.

Wazza.

Willie, sounds good to me, not sure about the accessories tho. More trouble than they're worth I rekkon.
You forgot to mention the gold chain to signify the oldest swinger in town :))))))

Just took a peek on Ebay. The only one I liked , $90K .
