Probably a bunch more money, too.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

Because unless I go to Perth or away camping the most am going to drive is 10km around town, diesel is 10c more expensive and the diesels are about 5k more expensive to buy.

Also they suffer from injector failure and at $1200 a injector its pricey. 

The V6's are pretty bullet proof :lipsrsealed: (touch wood) and 70bhp more :evil:

It looks urm....big!!  :grin:

About the same size as a Range Rover

Bought some fitted seat covers and sand catcher matts for it, Ill get some pics once am home.

Also had to replace the battery, managed to get one for $99 :cool:

Things to buy:
seat covers
rubber mats

bonnet protector
wind deflectors
HID headlights....(they're legal over here DH :tongue:)
7" HID spot lights

On the list but not for some time...
All Terrain tyres
2" lift kit
snorkel
dual batterys
hard spare tyre cover
fridge

Also been looking at getting a trailer...might be moving 2000km away and need to take my things with me. But with anything over here trailers are f**king expensive and they got to have their own road license and plates.

Might wash it next month if its lucky :lipsrsealed:

Last couple of pics Ive taken

Long time no post, didn't do much to the Cruiser. 12500km's in 2 1/2 years and one service.  Was a good work horse will I was out in bush but since being in the city Ive just traded it....
