Finally an 80 owner

Why not. The bloody things are addictive. Only thing better than 2 landcruiser is 3 landcruiser.

I thought that once Gav, about 20 years ago, and look what a conundrum I'm in now.

Although I had a couple of Chevy's interspersed, ( with impressive 6.5 turbo diesels) I've been all Cruiser since 97. I did 100K in my first one and it was still mint when I sold it 16 years later. With all the others I reckon I've done about 300K altogether in Cruisers and enjoyed every mile.
If I have a smallish local delivery or fetch a truck part I rarely take Sprinter van so like you I get a grin factor with the job.

Could be worse !!! Could have sheds full of landrovers. Mind the values on them seem to be going through the roof especially old series motors.

2 years ago we got our HJ45, and it's now about 3 months with the FZJ80 - slowly working the gremlins through with our one, and working out exactly what everything does!

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.

I was driving mine up the A3 last week..The M3 was shut .. So i was just Pootling along in Traffic and for some reason for miles i was surrounded by New Range Rovers.. There was always some yummy mummy sat in the Passenger seat Looking at me and the Truck With utter Disgust.. But i just smiled Knowing that i was sat in a better place than all those RR.. I know im Ugly but, C'mon ...
