Dented in almost every body-panel my HiLux was an MOT failure hand-me-down free gift from Sean Bones Bryant when he up-graded to a pimp class Ford F-150 FX2 Sport.
It's lights have packed up on both the motorway and driving the back lanes in the pitch black. Had a high-speed blow-out fully loaded (plus trailer). Performed a life threatening oversteer skid in the wet (hence the fitting of dual concrete breezeblock ABS in winter months when it's not got other ballast). Had a mysterious flat battery at the most inopportune moments. But it's performed three emigrations in ten months like a faithful Sherpa, and become one of the family.
And I Love it more than a fluffy pet. BP
recommended tool kit includes Talisker Whiskey, Castrol R4, Gekkeikan sake, Wynn's carb cleaner, 3 in 1 oil, and a small blow-torch.

pickups a keeper.. but what about the turquoise caravan your standing in front of.. who needs a house when you have a home brother!

ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time (circa 1976) that caravan would have been cool. Now its just rotten flea pit that smells like a Silence Of The Lambs crime scene.
