I didn't exactly do anything with it or to it, but I talked about Land Cruisers and learnt something I think I should share.
Test driving an HJ45 is thirsty work. So, having endured a few hours I was forced by circumstances to attend a rather insalubrious bar in the country side. (It appeared that Tuesday night had been a particularly challenging night for the regulars and Wednesday morning even more so. Lots of Toyota Hi Lux s parked outside and a good smattering of fancy new Land Cruisers and quite a few Ford Rangers.
Not long and the Dagha Boy drew some attention and the focus shifted from the medicinal Brandy and Coke to it and this "city slicker". Then the good old boys settled back into discussing the virtues of their respective modes of transport and slowly but surely the brandy and coke demanded full attention.
It was during the peaceful lull in conversation that a GIANT of a man lumbered across the bar bar to me and told me the thing I need to share.
He said: "Nice Cruiser, Uncle..." and then after two beats, " There are only three permanent things in the world. The Old Testament, The New Testament and an F in' Land Cruiser. Excuse me I've gotta take a p*ss."
I think he may be right... or maybe it's just the brandy and coke...?
