Equally no-one will be able to prove that it is stolen.

If it's anything like the 214 petrol TK I had it wouldn't have a hope of doing 100. It was geared so low I almost always started off in second, even fully loaded, and it was screaming its heart out at 35 mph. That said our neighbour's 214 petrol J1 does 50-55 mph. Must have a taller diff in it?

Had a Dixie horn for a while. Transferred it from a Mini Clubman to an RX30 Cressida then to an XC Falcon over the course of years but eventually got refused a wof with it on the XC and reverted to the factory horn. Was quite disappointed about that.

That's not too shabby.

from ea onwards I think the discs are solid

Just from memory I'd say you're probably right. Solid rear and vented front. Pretty sure that's what my ones have anyway.

Have one for me too. I'm still at work.

You've made the right decision. Wonderful news that the repair panels needed are available.

Is that XB the one with the welded steel spiderweb on the back window?

So make him an offer for it @kiwi808.

How many of those 500,000 are in New Zealand though?

Someone please save the lovely Agnetha. Such a rare beauty should never become a paddock sacrifice.

No. I expect a diesel to use more fuel when towing than when not towing.

Depends on usage 

I had a petrol 80 series cruiser that could suck back $150 in a day offroading replaced it with a diesel 80 series doing same thing be lucky if used $60.

Diesel come into the own when loaded or towing(hard yards)

This is interesting. I've seen 14 mpg from my coon towing a double horse box. Normal usage is more like 25+. I'd expect a diesel to hog it a bit more when working hard too though. The real question here is how much more?

Be ready for Hanmeet?

Next?

He sure is. Hope I look that good at 92.

Worldly looking carry in army paint scheme, playmobile figures and enough lights to hide the small van syndrome.

 

 Carroll Street area? Looks a lot like a garage I rented for a short time in the late '90s to work on my Cressida.

My brother-in-law had a wee Subaru powered jet boat for a while. Unsure what motor it had but it went scarily fast and he ended up selling it to a man insane enough to drive it to its full potential.

Must be worth something to somebody.

Consul Capri was possibly even cooler, but I've never seen one of them.

Nah, I've seen both fairly often and the sedan is way cooler. Something's not quite right about the proportions of the coupe in my eye.

^Coolest looking English Ford ever bar none. Almost bought one once, still wishing I had.

Spotted this in Taihape earlier this month. Got a smile and a wave from the driver as he booted it past the railway station.

Another workmates car.

What's the big green thing behind the HQ? Looks interesting.

You've got the high ground clearance vehicle @ajg193. This one should be yours easily.

Also Kaitaia.
