Took the FJ40 to its first car meet! Went down well compared to the other cars as its a bit different!! Some great cars, think the Citroen was my favourite!

I finished the installation of a Retrosound radio along with some homemade speaker panels/mounts. Also, generally tidy things up over winter along with installing a new choke cable as I don't think they made them in the country the FJ40 came from!!

Thanks, yep the NoVA and HRMC stuff doesn't look that straight forward and is an inspection always required? I'm thinking about using a car importer service, like shipmycar.com, see if it works out!! Think they can unload. Other thing is the cars fluids have all be drained and I'm worried...

I went for the 22" with Windshield, I had a Campingaz stove for many years before this and did me well, but in windy conditions did take a long time!
