Collection day for the Landcruiser. Nearly 5 years since my last car purchase which I think is the longest I've managed.
Funny being a 40 odd year old bloke getting butterflies about buying an old truck
It's going to be nice drive home. This might sound weird but I feel like those older landcruisers always smell nice too! Funny being a 40 odd year old bloke getting butterflies about buying an old truck

Someone should go and view it though.
In other news, now had mine for three weeks. In that time it needed a new wiring loom for the tailgate and that works great. Engine management light was due to a vaccum leak and now running good. Just got the aircon recharged as was empty, they said they could not find any leaks and see how I go with it. Hopefully that is the end of it as otherwise that is a big job to diagnose.

Fantastic!The interior of this 530i is in fantastic condition for 140k miles. Bit of an annoying advert and could be a little cheaper (up for 5500) but I like it alot https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147291508627
Well gutted.
I'm walking back to the station.
Alarm bells rang when he picked me up to say when we drove it back from Aberdeen it ran great, f
k, I possibly could have known that from the reg?
The two holes in the inner arches are the least of its worries. I could push my fingers through the inner sills.
MOT tester must have been blind. Genuinely feel a bit sick.
The garage seemed reasonable but he did start with the you've bought it spiel. So glad I didn't leave a deposit, still bought insurance in full though.
Ah well,, put that one to bed, Ces't La Vie

Famed Land Cruiser build quality, they rot for fun.
Yeah thats what put me off them too, the cheaper ones were rusting badly at times.Its more that they last forever, if you keep them somewhere hot and dry.
You should be able to get a refund on insurance within 14 days, they moan then you tell them they can’t keep a percent cancellation fee and you eventually get it back.
Unfortunate, however now you know why they wanted you to pay a deposit.

Yep, I was fully expecting to do some welding. I specifically asked about the underneath and was told it was good. I wouldn't have put my kids in it. I don't think a 300k south England car would look as bad as that 130k Scottish car.

Exactly. I've got the refund already so nothing more than a morning wasted and I do genuinely feel bad for welching on a deal having not viewed beforehand. Lesson learned. Its more that they last forever, if you keep them somewhere hot and dry.

They should be chucking that into a proper disposal auction I think. I know they write trade sale and everything else on the invoice but it's still proper money so I'd be surprised if they could completely get out of their obligations as a dealer selling to the public.
Here s is a Mega Cruiser in Japan to cheer you up on a Friday,

Allows you to get away from the wife and kids, even when you are driving with them.
If you spend a bit more, this looks a clean very low mileage version.

This one has a video with Land Cruisers in the background, just to help with the size comparison. You are the Captain now.

Lovely!The 8.32 is one of those cars where, if you bought it, you would soon find out who all the petrolheads in your neighbourhood are.
I haven't owned anything quite so "special", but I've got several acquaintances I only know because of one of us walking past while the other one was working on a rare or unusual car.
