Finally an 80 owner

[big-yin]

So I finally found an 80 I liked, Stuart (stumog) very kindly had a look yesterday and based on this I put a deposit down and then went to pick it up today.

Very happy, needs a few things doing but by in large, for a 23 year old car is awesome. More pics when its light and I've had some time.

Two parts of this fantastic forum I need to follow now I've got an 80 to go with my 100.

Happy days.

Michael

It's a bit of an addiction . I got 2 80s a 100 and a mk 4 hilux. I really want another 80 too but Mrs is a bit selfish and won't sell her car to make room !!!!

Indeed.

Bad front end avoidance is equally important..

Glad you enjoyed the ride home.

It does drive very well.

Did the chap cry he said he thought he would? Very upset to be selling it. Poor chap

That's the thing with them . Every time I drive any of my trucks even though the newest one is 20 yr old I feel like a king. Grin is ear to ear and I volunteer to do road trips just because I love driving them. Almost feel sorry for the guys in there shiny range rovers and mercs. As if they are missing out on something. Must just be a cruiser thing I guess. I've had almost every 4x4 going and nothing else does it.
