lets take an example, it seems you feel farming areas are locations for just work trucks.
in most cases you are right.

but

i live in rural ontario, one of the rust belts of Canada. it is also a farming area and most of the farmers i know barely keep their trucks on the road. after all they are work vehicles, another piece of machinery to be used till it dies and flog off and buy new.
i am 2.5 hours away from the nearest city.
i see lots of bondo buckets being sold. hack jobs that look nice from 10 ft.
but
every once in a while, if you are lucky or shop constantly, you come across that one gem. last week i was returning from the upolstry shop and took a different route home. sitting in a yard was a 74 international scout. original paint, unfaded. original frame, unpainted, interior had the 70s date look to it. turns out the old farmer had a liking for internationals and bought this one new. he had it parked inside for its life. 345 V8 manual tranny and D44s front and rear. factory soft top with the door inserts. a true survivor and in REALLY nice shape. a cut and polish, replace the seat covers and it would be excellent for the car shows.

Angel needs to be a careful shopper and to look in the back yards as she drives to see different vehicles. she will end up with the rare clean units. she needs to learn to look under the paint, where to look for typical poor spots on cruisers and how to identify.

then she needs to be able to describe honestly and clearly what she is selling. there is nothing wrong with selling to the lower end crowd as long as she is honest.
 
i don't judge countries by media reputation, i judge countries by their people.
the media shows US to be a bully country, i meet the Yanks and i find them (mostly) very down to earth and friendly ... maybe a bit materialistic but still good people.
the media shows Canadians to be meek and mild ... sadly this is very true.

The media also shows most Southerners to be dimwitted rednecks.














Sadly this is also true. :D
 
I take offense to that statement.

I'm a dimwitted redneck, and not a Southerner, so don't think y'all get all that glory to yourselves.

Amateurs ...... Try as you might, we set the standard.
 
Thanks all for comments. I don't see any negative issues here. All comments are welcome. I am off to Medellin in a few days the land of coffee and Escobar and classic landcruisers (and beautiful women).

FYI I sent my mechanic and body man to look at the FJ40 and he says it is a very original and great condition vehicle. It was not frame off restored (it didn't need it) but obviously was repainted inside and out.

I will post up a separate thread. I am not as concerned with the condition of the FJ40 but more concerned with paperwork hassles and shipping between 2 governments.

we will see.
