Didn't you get the Elise fairly recently?

Can we please keep the discussion of the elise to the other thread.

Just search for "Elise" and you'll find it.

I'll take that as a "Yes, but I've realised I can't really afford it".

Whilst the BTTF truck is cool I think my appreciation for pickups started with the GMC pickup from The Fall Guy

Damn right

But I aint one to kiss 'n' tell.

Over 3k on TPO insurance + running costs :eek:

Don't have to be pickup. Hiluxes rock in any form:

Arr, but the pickup is my dream, just screams coolness to me.. don't know why

A mate has a Hilux pickup, in black, with big offroad tyres and spotlights.

It is awesome! :cool:

Its still pretty cool as well as functional, but its not even close to the pickup

No, he wrote it off. And further discussion of it ends here unless you wish to find the relevant thread, this one is about Hilux's, kthxta

Just read the thread. All I can say is :eek:

Maybe a nice slow Hilux is a good idea

Ooh, I've found a nice rust covered one for under £500.
Time to learn how to weld methinks!

I would spend at least 1k get a better one tbh.

I'm looking at it as a project car apart from anything really.
Something to do up and cut my teeth on, something that it won't really matter if I'm left with a heap of junk after I've butchered it

Now that does sound like fun

Yeah I'm thinking of getting the sledgehammer out and (as those antique shows say) "Distressing" it

I think people are taking the whole "indestructable" thing a tad far. The Top Gear programme on this was, as always, staged and not in any way a representation of the Hilux's true reliability. I'm sure they are very very reliable cars in the right hands but spending £500 on one is surely going to give you a right heap of one breaking down at every chance.
