Hi all, i'm Layton and i live in the New Forest, i've just joined so thought i'd show you my daily drive.
It's a 1993 Toyota hiace import and has been fully pimped out in Japan, one of the owners before me removed some of the bodykit which i am on the look ouit for to put it back to the way it was.
here she is, all comments welcome.

this how it looked when it first came into the country.





and this is how it is now.

I'll second that - it's brilliant! So rare to see a vehicle done up in one of the Japanese modifying styles over here, I bet it gets a lot of comments.

Do you get many people like the earlier posters here who don't get it and take it seriously?

I like it.

It's pure genius combining a curry house and a brothel into one vehicle! hehe

Am confused, thought I'd clicked onto Mumsnet by accident then. Bit wrong that.

I think it's awesome! That looks like a proper old fashioned mobile house of ill repute!

Good luck getting the rest of the bodykit for it. What sort of engine does it have? How much did the Brothel Beater cost you (if you don't mind me asking?)?

I don't know what all the negativity is about. It is obviously tongue in cheek. The sort of thing Austin Powers would drive around in if the Shaguar was in for a service.

Yeah baby!

I think it is brilliant, would love to tuck into a glass of sake in the back while entertaining a lithe geisha...

Superb - what a great piece of automotive objet d'art. You do need to track down the original spoiler though.

Thanks, glad you like it, i do get a lot people that just dont get it, they're a huge part of Japanese car culture and you either love em or hate em, and mine is quite tame compared to a lot of them, i've always loved these vans and i welcome any comment good or bad, lol
