It would be great fun flying about Melbourne's freeways in a 400KW+ Toyota LandCruiser.
The only thing is second hand they've all got dodgy LPG installs or 600,000km on them and they're still going for 5 figures. |
Funny you say that Franco,
I bought a new 80series v8 auto in 2004 and petrol prices jumped from 88c in 2002 to 148c in 2008, they were a great car, cruise control was dangerous, set it at 100 and get to the top of the hill, its motoring and you have to jump on the brakes! fuel economy wasn't the best, but 16 years later my Mazda cx-9 gets no better fuel economy when the price has been up around 180c.
Cheers Phil.
