hard luck they fellas...

i was tired no arse and it didn't make sense for me to drive that distance by myself.

Excellent first meeting and drive. Please to meet some of the guys (Really Cool and Decent Fellas and Ladies) and the scenery along the way was a wonderful change to the regular routine. For those who missed it, know that you were thought of and we missed you. Try to make the next run, I am sure it will be a memorable one. Twisted Evil

Weather was hot and sunny ....and it took us less than two hours.... We had some bad roads but it wasn't a problem... right fellas....?

My baby (the SR5) got a bit of roughing up. She's a pretty girl but can take it and more when required too *grin*

Freak...hope you get that sorted out soon man... you might have to resort to bucket and stand pipe if you don't.

bleedingfreak · Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:24 pm Post subject:

wagon r · Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:34 pm Post subject:

sweeks · Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:40 pm Post subject:

Wagon_R ...You got anything online for the L200?

P.S. Like I said... she's a pretty girl who knows how to do it when required too.

nice pics man...good to know it came off

wagon r · Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:05 pm Post subject:

nothing significant......the indicator lenses and some other small parts but i can't find anything for the engine per say.

i must say though...converting to the full orange side light will give the van a different look....may pick those later in the year...

the suspension and steering parts seem to be the same but it's hard to pay US$250 for a steering box that may not work.... Neutral
