Kobi, It's not mine! My best buddy decided to do a restore several years ago, and I helped. The trade off was that I get to drive it once in a while. In fact, he just bought an FJ60 with a leaking main seal. I guess I'll be back in the Toyota repair business in the next week or so! He claims he needs help getting the Tranny out.

No need for the Toyota haters to decend like locusts. My mind won't change, the older Toyotas are fine machines that last and last and last and.... well, you know the rest.

Hell, I give everyone a chance to bash, I own Bowties, British, Ricers and Fords.

You still buried in the white stuff, ours has already melted, it's sunny and dry again!

Too bad. The old FJs are cool.

The new ones are great too. I have an '03 vehicle of which Toyota is the parent company. Flawless.



Far be it from me to state that the Lexus LS is the best built car on the planet . . . but it is. (I do miss having a Lightning however.)

British? MG? When I was 16, my friend had an MGB . . . fun, fun, fun!

No, not buried. In fact we have not achieved buried yet (and I hope not to). So far all snow has not amounted to more than anything that won't melt quickly. It "snowed" a couple of days ago but it was "floaty stuff" (not being from this area and not having experienced snow for decades, I not sure of the official term, so I use "floaty"). It was big flakes, and lots of them, but they just floated around and never really hit the ground. It was kind of like being in a snow globe.

It's sunny here once again, but certainly not warm. Yesterday it didn't get above 11 degrees. It's warmed up today but that's not saying a lot (it's 21).

Now that you don't have snow, get out and drive that Z06.
:santa:

British as in Austin Healey 3000.

Can't speak for the newer Toyotas and spinoffs, but they sure are making a dent in automotive sales figures here. (Several "Lexi" in the neighborhood, all seem to be held in high esteem by their owners.)

Z's already been out today. I'm looking for an excuse to take it out again. One of my neighbors just got a new Bimmer M6 coupe, and another took delivery on a Cobra replica with 500+ HP. There goes the neighborhood!
