New Message from Toyota Man?

I take it everyone still has the hump with me? I do own a Land Rover really (even though you didn't believe me!). We thought it would be funny to come on and wind some of you up - which it was - but we didn't want to upset anyone.

I'm selling my land rover this month anyway.

Tom.

who is the other member of the "we" then

I reckon it's got to be thumbelina ................. who else could it be from Fairyland, uh........... Tom ....... (thumb)?!

Cheeky sods! The "we" is me and my mate.

So ye are a deserter to the cause then... thats worse than bein a fraudulent impostor in the first place!

Because I'm selling it? If I had the choice I'd keep it. Its a great motor - just needs some decent diffs and a winch

put em on then..no dramas!!

Need the money at the moment. Its tax exempt as well - i'd been after one for years then when I got one I have to get rid of it - Typical !

tell me about it.. ive spent a bit on mine recently, in fact so much so that i cant afford to sell it.... if its a good one though might be worth stickin it on a sorn till your a bit more flush.....

It's a 1972 Range Rover with a Defender body on a shortened chassis. It's got a 3.5 V8 on petrol and LPG (although I've never had it running properly on LPG - nor have I bothered trying much). It's got a 2" lift - dislocating cones and kinked hockey sticks. Onbaord compressor with a 9L air tank. Power point at the rear - as the batteries are under the passenger seat. Wiring for front and rear winches, but no winches. And no roll cage though. Anacondas all round - great in the mud!

The **** that sold it to me said it had a Detroit in the rear - but by the time I'd got it home it had chewed itself up and spat itself out - only to find it was a standard diff held together with a self-tapper. I was proper ****ed off. It needs ARBs but they are too expensive for me. It was also bright orange when I got it - and covered in horrible stickers that were supposed to be funny! Even my bad jokes were better.

How much are you asking for it?

About £2.5k ish. Will put it on eBay and see how it goes.

Then dont put it on ebay with the lpg on!!!!!!!!

Not enough or too much ?

That money won't even look at a busted gearbox on a Toysplatta, local farmer just had a quote of £5k for a replacement for his unbustable (ha ha) Landbruiser. It didn't cope with hauling astock trailer up and down the hills for much over 100k miles.

As YD would say..............Woosh.

I haven't got a Land Cruiser!

That's not really the point... on the 'highway of life' you are a Land Cruiser... whereas the rest of us, yeah even Ardnut, are way better off.
