You’re thinking of Hell’s Accountants.

Normally I’d leave somebody else’s project car well alone, but the Landcruiser caught my eye when I realised that it’s rigged for flat towing... If I were a #vanlifer or travelling by RV I’d probably give it a second look.

Yeah that thing is going to be exhibit ‘A’ in a court case involving some sort of sexual impropriety.

Got mine just two days ago. Riding my motorbike through a spaghetti-junction inner city bypass. Just as I entered the tunnel system, my rear tyre blew. Stopping in the tunnels (there are no shoulders) is a bad enough idea in a car - they do a quick ‘n’ nasty tow job to get you out of there as fast as possible and I

I think the ‘more to it’ is things like, laying pipes and infrastructure isn’t that easy these days with environmental concerns. Sure you can go underground, but that’s expensive too. You have to dam or block a river. Not likely to happen these days. Also pipes don’t serve any other purpose. The roads are mostly

Well they’re not Russian out of the factory right now!

Or they just love the sound of potatoes.

They were adequate in terms of power, but the tall gearing of the 6sp manual made them a miserable experience to drive. I would have been much happier with mine if it had a shorter final drive ratio.

The list of Caprice PPV-sourced parts includes the 6.0-liter V8 engine, the catalytic converters, the seatbelts, and the airbags. Parts sourced from an SS include the 6-speed manual transmission, the limited-slip differential, the hubs, the front clip, and the doors.

The club I marshal for has enough female riders that we have ladies-only track weekends. They are pretty big events.

In space nobody can hear you scream “Sovereign Citizen!!!1!!”

Rightyho then, I’m off to convince my wife that we need another Touareg.

The man also loves gambling with stakes that aren’t his to lose.

Not true! There’s Sochi, and... well... Sochi is about it I guess.

A coincidence of conspiracy theorists.

That’s why I’m having trouble understanding how they are managing to do this. I understand that they struggle with low wages, long hours and narrow to non-existent profit margins (for owner-drivers). Yet they can afford time off the job, fuel, maintenance and to blow off whatever contracts they might have so that they

Got me too. Maybe Conrod straight is the “Main” straight and Mountain straight is the “back” straight?

10sp auto hints at a very narrow powerband, so I suspect even a 6 speed manual will drive like crap anyway. 

It’s 3,500kg (Australian spec) which is 7716lbs. I suspect he mixed up kilograms with pounds.

The Raptor version usually has a lower towing capacity than the regular one anyway - the Fox suspension is for offroading not towing.
