Often compounded by the fact that many of them would have been work utes therefore regularly overloaded and thrashed mercilessly by all who drove them.

Obviously serious about it.

Back window still looks good.

Fucked yellow car.

Alex would turn it into a project. He can't help himself.

Get some. You'll love them.

As do I. Having owned and worked on both in the 80s I was very thankful for the extra little bit of space in the engine bay.

and deer velvet tonic?

I'm in. Will be the longest trip I've done in the PULS8R. Bit like Bart none of my old(er) shit runs.

Reminds me, I must find a wheelbrace that fits it just in case.

End of August would probably work for me. Early July definitely won't as it clashes with my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. Fuck I'm old.

Could you make one?

Looks like it's been there a while.

Not surprised. Vested interests pushing for it?

Driveby's question has much relevance for those of us with fairly short commutes largely consisting of rural highways with 100 km/hr speed limit. 

Cool truck. Agree 11 mpg not conducive to affordable daily driving.

Somewhat surprised at half ton load rating, espec given that the many low powered jap utes of that period were rated to carry a ton.

Always enjoyed Hanmeet but unsure if I'd be able to make it this year due to other things going on.
