The Blue one is nice (and mostly free what's better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) but I actually prefer getting around in the Landcruiser.

Hehe, Yeah the blue one looks like it would need long flat roads with easy sweeping curves (just so you can maintain 200kph speed)! It would be fun at times but the LC would be more relaxing, nature has a way of doing that.

Yes....maintaining possession of my drivers licence is MUCH harder in the blue car.. I have a 124km (round trip)commute to work each day and most of it is on freeway running against the flow of traffic...lets just say I have to be diligent about setting the cruise control to a legally acceptable speed... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have traveled to so many places in the Landcruiser it is a bit nostalgic each time I head out in it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I do now have to drive down to the Post office just now to collect a Regulator that has apparently arrived... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Alright, STEEL! Congratulations.

Nice rides Andy. What is the blue car. Love that diesel LC also.

It is a Holden (GM) SV-6 ...they were exported to the US and sold as the Pontiac G8 I believe.

Andy

Very nice. Too bad I will never buy a new GM vehicle again and that's all I bought for 30 years.

Fewer choices out here mate. Holden, though a subsidiary of GM, is fully self sufficient and survived the great implosion as an entity on it's own without needing to be bailed out. It was still profitable with it's operations out here unlike most all of the rest of the company.

No, its not a 442, but GTO IS The Original Muscle Car
And the only car to win Motor Trend car of the year 5 years in a row(from 64 to 69)

You're wrong about that my friend. In 1967 the Motor Trend car of the year was the Mercury Cougar. I owned one in the GT 390 XR7 mode.

Hi,
Aberdeen, Angels from Willow Tree and a couple of very large shipments to Cornelius Furs in Sydney.

Where were you buying from ?

Ian.

Edited to add.

Back in the late eighty's I was back in the Queensland Gulf working and managing cattle stations.
Most of my skins were sold in the late seventy's, good times then, they were averaging around the thirty dollars.

Ian.... small world mate, very small world.... !!!!!!!!!

Just bought my new car, a Subaru Forester 2.0 D XS Trend (color of mine is light grey), can't wait to try it :-)
