A twitterer related a little tale, that Roachie....the Man with Chev/Nissan super dooper V8.....is very interested in the new 200 Series LC.
All things Nissan will be tossed out the door and a shiny new 200
will adorn the workshop in the middle of the Y-Peninsula.
Yerrrrr........Bill....what next?....LOL
Betcha that SWMBO will not let you drill holes in it!!!

Maybe the man with everything wants to have the Nissan AND a Toyota.

G'day Willie,
Not sure who your informant is, but please allow me to put you straight RIGHT NOW!!!!
__NO WAY____.......
Message to the informant (if indeed there really _IS_ an informant..... it could just be Willie at his stirring best):
Maaate; I don't know what "gear" you're on at the moment (not even a substantial dose of Willie's White Lightning could make a sane bloke make an ill-informed statement like that). Crikey, it'd be the same as a Post stating that Lucky was finally getting wise and buying another Nissan.......he won't ever be able to now; just on principle.

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

Bill,
What colour are you going to get?
I bet you can't wait to have a drive, and being an auto it should suit you down to the ground.
When is it due? I reckon after Christmas at least.
A good way to start the New Year with a new 200 Series Toyota.

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.
Wayne
