Got to say my first 80 was 1hz auto and it didn't seem that slow to me. Mind you I hadn't driven a turbocharged 80 before then. Used to tow 16ft ifor William's with bangers on all over the country. My mates transits and recovery trucks could never keep up with me.

Touch any of my cruisers and they will feel the impact if I catch them instantly. Right on their f****ng chin !!!

Hi Jacob. I've got a bit of land a lot bigger than where I currently am / soon was. Room for all the kids dogs trucks house and a workshop plus some. Couple of years in a static caravan but it will be worth it. Have a good one and I'll see you all next time.

Not going to get to this. Moving house over that weekend. Have a good one.

Cheers Shayne I'll pass this on

My mate has acquired a 1hz powered 75 series pick up. Only problem is gearbox was missing. He has a 80 series manual bolted on to it but transfer box is all wrong. Would any other transfer box fit the 80 (early 93) manual box say possibly one from a 60. Levers are all over the cab floor and...

Nice one. Done a cracking job there Trev. Very impressive

Sounds sweet Trev. Have you got any bolts left over?

Some good wine that must have been Raj!!!

Looking good Rodger. Last time we spoke you were selling your big black machine. Now you have 2!! Petrol 80s are a lovely thing I must say. Interested to see what you get up to with the both of them. Good to see you back on here again.

This was covered a good while back. Have you recently changed grade of oil. Can't remember which but I believe a thinner oil cures this. Its covered in the 80 series section somewhere. Someone with a better memory than mine will assist you soon I'm certain.

My boy James spoke to Jons son Alf. His friend sold this truck a while back. The guy who has it has jacked it up and bobtailed it now. Different but........

I remember that now Andy.

I think that was it. I'm 99% sure it was that truck. Had the black bonnet and roof lights. Cant be that many about

I now remember jon 1969 telling me about one his mate had or has. Jon is from Newark way so could be him. Cant be many in the same county
