jiggy 3,209 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Buy one stick it in the shed and spend every day for 2 years clambering around it to get a bucket of coal. Then spend 4 thousand and endless labour restoring it only to sell it afterwards for 3 thousand or else move it back out into the garden to make room in the shed. Then it starts to rot again and the cycle starts all over.? But don't forget you got to drive it 3 times before you got sick of freezing your nuts off and getting thrown around the place with it hopping around like a tractor. Sure it was all worth it! the wife left because you never spent anytime with her for the 2 year.??? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Funny never seen a Toyota graveyard Maybe because they never get to the age of these Or maybe they never collapse in a pile of rust, I recently had a pajero for 5 years, paid just over a grand for it, in that time I replaced the break pads, tyres and a water pump. It was nearly 30 years old. I've sold it to a mate and it's still running strong. Anthoner good mate on the other hand has had loads of land rovers and spent more weekends underneath the things than driving them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,559 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well for all the Toyota girls, my landrover series three is 42 years old very rarely breaks down is made of alli so won't rust away cost me £600 when I bought it and the last person that knocked the door trying to buy it offered me 3k so I see it as a good usable investment, parts are penny,s and fixing it's child's play I know it don't have power steering and air con but that's for tarts anyway, proper blokes are strong enough to turn a steering wheel and open a window 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ps ...the driving position on a landrover is something else , the effortless way the seats slide , the lumber support , the back adjustments , springing , every thing is there for comfort .....providing your journey isn't over 800 yds ..??
