Wookie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh yeah! Driving one of those babies would take me right back to when I was a kid... A real man's tonka toy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
njc110381 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 4x4's driven by fat lazy people who can't park them is a particular favourite subject of mine. Hey, you leave Drovers out of this. Bully! I like Defender 90s. Easy to park and a true 4x4. Great to shoot from too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaun4860 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Absolutely: enough capacity for even your order at Greggs. It's surprisingly easy to park too: all the nearby buildings and stationary vehicles will move to accommodate you and your Tonka toy. Greggs do an awful lot of pasties mind....... ..not to mention sausage rolls......*darn i mentioned them* you still might struggle...... shaun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 No, Andy, that is not 'lovely'. It looks like it was bought from the Early Learning Centre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That is one ugly motor, I assume that the designers didn't have anything curved to draw around, and all they could find in the cupboard was a box of lego. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlphaBravo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I saw one of these on Saturday, never seen one before, it was lovely, Toyota FJ Cruiser. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm..._FJ_Cruiser.jpg My (great)uncle in canada has one of those..

Andy W Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) No, Andy, that is not 'lovely'. It looks like it was bought from the Early Learning Centre. I also like Hummers. I keep looking at Range Rovers but I have read so many bad things about them and know a couple of people who have them or have had them, electronic problems galore, why so many problems on a car which costs so much, I could never understand why they never got Toyota to supply a Land Cruiser rolling chassis complete with drive line and electrics to bolt a Range Rover body and interior to, that would then be a car worth buying.

ME Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Absolutely: enough capacity for even your order at Greggs. Are the seats "flakey pastry proof" ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunkield Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I saw an X6 the other day they are just wierd looking, but then so do quite a few new cars when you first see them But the one that makes me laugh out loud is the Jeep 'Patriot' - jeesus h christ who ever thought that looked good on paper or in the flesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
