863776	2010-03-04 06:10:00	A wet dog on the deck of a ute is a better dog than he would be in a van. Also, firewood. Vans are a pita for loading and unloading, and considering the winters pctech has, firewood is vital stuff.	R2x1 (4628)

Second best is shut up, come with him and give the nice finance man my details. Vans suck, you can't fit anywhere enough in them due to the design. Which is why I wondered why he'd tolerate a short flatdeck rather than a long one. Also vans are naff. Fords and Mazdas - Fords are Mazdas. He had one or two once. Never again. Hilux yes, just happens that there is this rather than a Hilux at the moment. Pink? I wouldn't be seen dead in pink, never mind pink on a vehicle.	pctek (84)

It has a seven speed custom transmission, Positraction front axle and Gov-Lok rear, 33X12.50R16 Earth gobbling tires, a chrome tree-pushing bumper and extra cab-roof high mounted HID BLIND-YOU-ALL driving lights of 5000 watts each, a 40-channel CB with a 2000 Watt linear amp and 108" stainless steel whip antenna, a 9,000 lb 24 volt winch on the front and split dual exhaust with 24-inch glasspacks. The engine is a stroked 350/5.7 with a 400 crank and Crane cam, Edelbrock Lo-Rise Tork-R intake and a Q-Jet carb, electric fuel pump, Mallory HEI distributor and coil and it can run OVER those lunch boxes they drive in foreign countries - or that somehow get to the US and are used here as collision mats. He'll be King-O' Da Road with that monster and you can bet that anyone who doesn't yield at ANY intersection on your upturned tectonic plate of a land mass will be rolled into a ball of foil and shipped back - organic splattered interior and all - to the land of the Rising Sun or it's cloned copy-cat country to the North. The other drivers will hear him long before he arrives, and most of them will be quietly standing alongside their vehicles, waiting for what they fear is Rolling Armageddon to come into view as they cower and cringe to the sweet sound of a cast iron behemoth Detroit engine snarling at 7,000 RPM, shattering windows and rendering cows, sheep and young women sterile - while making young Nancy-boys wince and old men faint in fear. I just happen to have one of these left in my garage --- and I can drop by for a road test if he likes. I, and IT can be bought.	SurferJoe46 (51)
