Good speed-cam topic on at the moment

unclebuck

Yep - glad they bought it up. And 'advised' people not to sign the NIP.

BTW What was the VR6 'reggae' tune?

was funny as in their 'news' bit they had about the A class electric car, the week before when were there for the filming they had this topic up but obviously ran out of time for it on last weeks one!!

220bhp out of a 1.3 engine!!!!!! WOW that unbeleivable

We have a few 110 TDi Landies at work and one Toyota Hi-Lux. The Toyota gets loads more abuse because its a pick-up and anything gets chucked in it. Most of our vehicles milage is off road and the Landies are always throwing drive shafts, universal joints, steering boxes or steering hubs etc.

The Hi-Lux has done 130000 miles 95% on rough ground or off road and it drives like new, although it looks a complete heap inside and out from 3 years of abuse.
Mechanically they are virtually unbreakale.

The Toyota's a great towing vehicle too My other half has trailered his car no end of miles using his Hilux

Standing joke at my office - see a Toyota pickup - ask driver if hes a warlord. Always makes me laugh any news clip of any "terrorist/revolutionary/freedom fighter/warlord/maniac/heroic peasant" fighting the great capitalist forces of the world - and what's he driving ? yep. A Toyota pickup. goodness knows how they didnt get the Humvee contract

When we go off roading there's always a few Toyota Hi-lux's there being driven to death

Normally they are used as service vehicles to the land-rovers that they tow there!

Only thing that gets them stuck off-road is the wheelbase and overhang at the back - easily sorted with the grinder (I'm yet to see a "bob-tail" toyota )

I was well impressed that it survived underwater for 5-hours

I loved the fact that they "lost" it and couldn't find it for 5 hours until the tide went out excellent viewing

I once stayed in a cottage on the coast in Jersey - sat eating breakfast one morning on the balcony overlooking the beech watching a tractor towing a Lancia Delta from the sea.... it diddnt' start though !

It probably wouldn't start if hadn't been in the sea!

If you go out to the Gulf or Australia where they have some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world, the vehicles of choice are toyota Hi-Lux or Landcruisers. Land Rover is a dirty word
