| 863784 | 2010-03-05 02:15:00 | Need to be a zillionaire to fill the petrol tank up all the time. And being one of the Generals cars it would break down a lot. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 863785 | 2010-03-05 02:25:00 | Show the poor jaded guy a real earth stomper like a 1986 Chevrolet K5, . That's not a ute. A ute is for carrying stuff. Couldn't stuff a wet rat in the back of that. He doesn't care about features either, and he hates complicated electronics in vehicles. What he cares about is big flat deck trays and reliability. Thats it. |

He doesn't care about features either, and he hates complicated electronics in vehicles . What he cares about is big flat deck trays and reliability . Thats it . I carry 4x8 plywood sheets in mine and can also carry 20 or more 90# bags of sack-crete (redi-mix dry concrete) . It is after all, only a 3/4 ton vehicle . I guess there's not enough room to carry a dozen sheep PLUS the sheepdog though . You may be right . CB radios are, of course, not for the common man - it's both those knobs that really confuses most people . On second thought, you may have really big rats in NZ, especially when they fluff up if they get wet . Remind me to bring a large caliber handgun when I visit - that, or a hair drier for the poor wet rats . |

| 863787 | 2010-03-05 03:36:00 | With your dietary habits we may have to seriously consider armouring the sheep, maybe even arming them. Their numbers are dwindling so fast they're almost an endangered species. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 863789 | 2010-03-05 05:36:00 | Apparently we have now discovered we were using the wrong glow plugs, the new disgustingly expensive ones are longer. Although we need it to be freezing and frosty to test that properly - that's when it has it's major starting issues. The ute can carry 19 used hot water cylinders, Bet your Chev thing can't. |

| 863790 | 2010-03-05 06:00:00 | For the amount of effort and money you've already put into the one you've got why not keep it and fix whatever is wrong with it? Might be expensive but probably worth it Unless I don't know what I'm talking about, which is quite a distinct possibility... |

| 863791 | 2010-03-05 06:14:00 | My word, if we discarded things just because they are old, battered, and sometimes hard to start, the Dragon would be doing a "Situations Vacant" advertisement with some urgency. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 863792 | 2010-03-05 07:44:00 | For the amount of effort and money you've already put into the one you've got why not keep it and fix whatever is wrong with it? . Well he maybe has. Bought these glow plugs. Won't know properly till it gets real cold though. |

| 863793 | 2010-03-05 08:24:00 | Show the poor jaded guy a real earth stomper like a 1986 Chevrolet K5, 4WD Blazer . and the humble little nissan will run rings around it . yank tanks are not common here and are fairly useless for our conditions, simply to big and heavy . |
