    Considering they only started making them in '66 it just shows how bad they were if they needed restoring so soon. They were a familiar sight for me down here.

    Test drove a Hilux last week and got it stuck, I know of a wee trail beside the highway just up by Mahana that has a small hillclimb and when you pop over the rise you drop into a small rut and get the diagonal wheels off the ground, hellish for trucks with no diff lock, but my work Triton and hack Wizard both piss up it. Had to rock the hilux out and reverse back down, now I know why they've fitted reversing cameras.
    Just waiting for my new Triton to arrive

    New hilux

    The trekker rusted out way better than the moke

    Watched three farm dogs slip through the rusted floor of an austin gypsy on the farm next door to Tahr ( owned by alastair, bill and Merven Thomas) - my uncles

    It had no rear tray left and the cardboard gave way

    both front seats were nailed to 4x2 to hold them in

    Was a push start model too which was fun at 5 am on the way to wool pressing duties for me

    Back woolshed had diesel powered shearing equipment and the exhaust fumes made me dry reach and puke by 5 pm each day

    I mostly used a yellow AG 175 with no kickstart and even less exhaust, it had a lil decompressor button on the handlebar like the kawasaki KT 250 that made fart noises to scare the sheep, only problem is it would stop the motor, so another push start

    The vehicles we have today are so much nicer

    Speaking of nice, I'm still friends with the rousies to this day, Claire and Belinda Jane.

    And Claire has a Hilux


    Austin Gypsy
