Me an the missus do miss old fronty, we sold it to some dodgy Welshman (prob makeitfit) :augie
The dude bought it over the phone and when I told him it has scars ect he said "ah don't worry, I blew my other one up" :eek:
We still wonder to this day what happened to old fronty :o

Alex, do you still have that phone number :augie:augie
As we are looking back over the years, I sure do miss my old M reg Toyota HiLux Surf :( Was a super clean import, sold it to a guy in Scotland, he flew down to Norwich airport to then drive it back up to Scotland.
Had a B series for a while. Wasn't a bad motor but not a patch on any terrano or sj I have owned.
Also had a mk1 2.6 petrol shogun which I loved but it was rotten as a pear.

I love my Terranos and think theyre great cars. That said for some reason Id love a defender or a disco despite people saying how bad they can be. I do know people that love them and dont seem to have much bother with them too.
Mind you I know some of them also say that my Terranos arent meant to go off road and their LR's will carry on going any where and mine wont:lol have to laugh to my self at that point. I dont believe in brand snobbery but I know how capable Terranos are:thumbs
Not had anything to do with Frontera's, wanted one a long time ago but dont like the look of them these days.

Interesting points, yes I also crave a defender and an old disco :eek: :eek: even though I know how shocking they are :doh Its just the shape I love.
Yeah try having an argument with a landy finatic, they blab and blap about being the best, it really comes down to driver at the end of the day (and obviously lift, tyres ect for certain terrain)
The terrano pay n play toy that was built on here a while ago was beyond awesome, that thing would p*ss all over the landies :naughty
Well I don't miss my disco 2:lol:lol:lol ok I do miss the sound of the V8:augie I do miss my old SWB T2 as I should have kept it:doh also miss my capri & MK4 escorts

Mt Missus likes our Hyundai but preferred the r3mR as it was not common and she had utter confidence in it.

Don't start me off.....had over 13 reliable years out of my SWB 2L petrol. It was 15 y/o when I sold it for the Terrano (needed more luggage space & a auto capable of effortess towing.
Much easier to drive & never got stranded, as opposed to Terrano which has left me at the mercy of Green Flag twice (prievious owner's dodgy maintainance!) & bogged-down in slippy fields twice (I blame the tyres for the latter LOL) inside first 2 years.. Wouldn't swap back though, it's a much more comfortable ride!
PS: seem to remember there's a website that gives present owner details?

Sally was a nice clean rust free motor, again an arse of a previous owner but Solarman sorted it in the end.
As for a web site giving current owners or for that matter even previous owners would be breaking data protection laws.

I was seriously considering a 2.2dti before I got the Maverick. As for cars I regret, I should never have sold my old Scirocco Storm
