No regrets

Ill let ya know how the bosses one goes, he's about 35000km a head of ya and it gets used some serious offroad mining and quarry situations. Its a nice truck to drive on the road, plenty of power thats for sure

6 speed manual no thanks get RSI real quick, sun glass holder is only big enough to hold my normal glasses, have Adidas with bi focal inserts, bloody useless!

Oh Fark forgot it a Ford, but oh yeah that 5 cylinder diesel is sweet, instead of that bloody clatter from the Colorado and the vibration under acceleration was a joke. If I could have the Ford mechanical and the Holden interior I be really happy. But it's the only ute with a 5 star ancap rating?

Shit they must be sweet if the only problem is the sunnie holder! Whats wrong with your forehead when not in use???

When you wear glasses full time and have prescription sunnies it a pain. I have to have sunnies on my fore head and glasses on my eyes, maybe would look a bit gay even at my age or people would make derogatory remarks and hurt my feelings!

Fair call. I would most likely be one to laugh!
