This one's in NSW, A$60k, originally built for the Singapore military, 30+ years old, what a beauty.

I'd like an ex-ADF one, they still use them here AFAIK. This fucker is ready to go, wouldn't change a thing.

I take that G-Wagon comment back. I thought they were around A$150k. Starting at A$246,500!! 💸💸💸

Yes, the new Prado. Still waiting for pricing to be announced but I wanna line up the next tax write-off vehicle (⛳) now to avoid the nonsense I went through this time around. All black would be the sex.

GR Landcruiser is gorge but waaaaay too rich for my blood! I was thinking about this the other day, for the money you pay for a top spec LC you could probably get most of the way to a G-Wagon, no?

I bought this sail plane/shutter for my D-Max today, it'll get fitted in the new year. Not having a lockable tub is a bit sketchy. The sail plane also looks LOADS better than a silly sports bar, which has no real function.

Cool but very much of its time, today's designers would balls it up.

While we're on the subject of Landcruisers, I'm off to my local Toyota dealer next week to find out when I need to put my name down to get one of these in time for September 2026. Hopefully there'll be a hybrid version by then.

Was just half-watching the Steve Hackett Rig Rundown, not that interesting until he started playing through a Boss PS6 Harmonist. Wow, instant Brian May fun!

Now on the lookout for one. Should probably check if my Zoom pedal has that in there somewhere.

In that case I would recommend a cheap Zoom MS70CDR for all the other effects, she can just toggle through them to her heart's content. Mine only cost me AU$50, peanuts.

Worth it just for the reverse reverb and the (very nice!) univibe.

Continuing the Rat chat, I personally find them to be not very musical. But the whole world disagrees with me! 😋

Nice, I was looking at something very similar earlier this week. A$35k. 👀

Not true, I resoled mine.

But they are garbage.

RIP!

Fell in love with this yesterday. 🤤

I like the stainless IKEA ones. Sturdy and easy to clean.

What's your budget? I would go with a little multi effects unit so she can try everything out.

The Zoom Multistomps are great, the MS-50G has all the overdrive/distortion/fuzz effects on it which the MS70-CDR doesn't. You can download extra sounds from the Zoom website and delete/load whatever you like. Only issue with these pedals is there's only one footswitch but you can chain effects, can't remember how many you can use at once. These are perfect budget shoegaze pedals!

Or the Joyo Tone Chain? That'll probably be easier to use for a young person. Or a bunch of budget mini pedals (Donner?) on a cheap board?

Merry Christmas, what a lucky kid! 🤩

Wasn't Brexit supposed to fix all this? 😐

I got talked out of it. 💰

It was short-lived. Fine by me, we were shit when I was a kid and we're shit now!

Ugh, don't remind me. Was enjoying some respite during the international break.

Priceless remark coming from a Goober. 🛌🌊

@dogsballs totally put me off the purchase this morning. 😐 I'm gonna listen to him and stick to what I've got. The FiL Merc could very well happen in the near future anyway.

There are so many nice ones out here, didn't really see them back in the UK. They're both legit from what I can see, STi logos fucking everywhere! 👀

I imagine there'll be a fair bit of body roll (which I'm already used to with the XV), like you say, it isn't a sports car. But it is a very pretty 'does everything' car. A bigger boot will be a boon for sure, the XV's boot is tiny.

And STi badge. 🤩

It's an Otto, Ashley! I still haven't got a Manuel licence. 🤣

I was also looking at Golfs because they're so bloody cheap over here but I always worry I'm gonna buy a lemon. That's true with any motor, obvs.

I'm gonna test drive both of them tomorrow, I'm ready to drop some cash. 💸

Just messaged the dealership, let's see how we go. I'm a bit frothy at the thought of owning this. 🤤

It's a nice Merc tho', proper hairdresser Outrun machine, silver, obvs.

I don't drive it cuz it isn't very exciting, it's my old daily. I've got to have two cars (because tax bollocks) so I would love a second car that I really look forward to driving. Even if it's only to the take the dog to the beach or go for a drive in the bush.

Not a euph BTW.

PS The sensible thing to do is forget all about this silly idea and just keep my now reliable XV which I've put a new radiator, valve body, tyres, etc into in the last twelve months.
