Hello again chaps

I used to post here, until I wrote off my previous 2007 4.0 in bad weather. I dropped off the forum as I knew I wouldn't be getting another one in a hurry and this made me sad. Hopefully I will remember some names, and hopefully all of you are keeping well and healthy.

The other day I was browsing online looking for another vehicle (The Jeep Commander HEMI I had for a bit was fun, but more oxide than steel underneath, not worth paying any more to fix)

I saw 2 listing for Toyota Surf, and almost didn't either bother looking as they're always tired old 1990s diesels which is when they stopped being imported.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw a 2008, not far from me.

It is a 2.7 2WD, not a combination that made it to the States I believe. It drove nicely, so I put a deposit down. It is not registered yet, so it will be at the dealer until next year, I expect.

I will need to source some roof rails from somewhere, as it doesn't have any for some reason.




I don't know where these tags came from but they are hilarious, it's like a haiku or something. bother, diesels, imagine, made, surprise

Welcome back and congratulations on your new ride!

The forum has been a little laggy the last few days for me but not real bad.

Hopefully this reply won't disappear into the ether with a "took too long to respond."! Another name I remember! Thank you AuSeeker! Seen the price of Au recently...? ;)

Yes I keep up with the gold price...hence my username.

Now that you mention the forum being slow....it is much slower today than the last 2 days, it has randomly timed out on me a few times this evening, but I haven't lost any posts as the time outs have only last 10 to 20 seconds or so each time..

Good man, I have been known to 'stack' a thing or two myself...;):boink:
 
The lag seems to come and go. I click my saved link and go look at something else if it's being slow. Really no rhyme or reason to it.

AU is gold, that's an aha moment for me. :D
