This is still and will be one of my fav hatches alongside 2 others
if I was a speed junkie I’d ask him for a swap with mine no joke.

the best part of this hatch has to be the roof flap for me till this day 🥰

 

always good to hear my work is apprishated mate ,, took me a while to get the car how I wanted it ,, the roof vent was one fo the first mods I done to it lol alway nervous cutting into a roof of a new car lol

 

it is the legendary 4.2 Auto, 258K miles and still starts on the button and uses no oil (tbf i have changed it every 6000 miles)

and awesome car tbh - just sooo capable and reliable






in the alps 11 years ago




centre diff lock and rear diff lockers too - with a transmission/differential setup that makes a range rovers look like a toy

a genuinely remarkable car, have taken it all over Europe in conditions you would not believe

i was going to sell it and buy a Q7 (had a skiing trip planned to France in April so had to transport 7 to the Alps, thought might be nice in a Q7 - covid cancelled)

this was in Feb - then the world went to shoite - glad i kept it in the end

oh and unbelievably tricky to value - prices go from 11K to 3k (MY00 Full Spec 4.2TD)

i put it up at 5k, had an immediate offer of 4k - which i declined - then nothing, in meantime it MOT'd for the year (new rear shock)

then covid hit - tbh lost interest in selling, happy to keep (passed my motorbike test (29th Jan this year) after 30 years of promising myself i would - so moved on to persuading the wife whether i can get a bike!!!!)

 

id give you 4K all day it’s gorjas mate perfect daily for me

 

Lol, a 4.2 Land cruiser Amazon is many things Zany

But a "daily" it is not

And seriously, thank you - this is a Jap car forum after all and we (hopefully) love our Jap cars

And boy the Amazon is as much a legend as the Scooby

When i browsed ebay for a replacement i felt a tad guilty - it is a monster of a car and has never ever let my family down (and my wife can parallel park it in a crowded west london street - she loves it)

 

trust me it’ll be my daily 🥰 mate

and my forearms would be massive 💪🏽 From waxing it

ive been looking about at shoguns and land cruisers but mostly all are facked to be honest so I gave up and carried on driving the auto corolla I have which is now stored away

I was even gonna p/x my scuby for a hummer few years back

 

his mind is made up to keep the car for a while longer lol

 

he shouldn’t have even advertised it to be honest

if I ever genuinely advertised my car I would never feel the same bout it to be honest

it’s why I nearly took £10k off a dealer last year before I found a place to store it ☹️
