OT: Top Gear video of Toyota diesel truck
 

Probably should post this in Open Discussion, but have a look. Takes a full 16 minutes or so, but you won't believe what they do to this old Toyo pickup!

This is the worst video I have ever seen
 

Because as I sat here watching this, I am looking out my window having evil thoughts of what I can try with my 04 Tundra...
I knew these were great trucks, but damn....

Holy crap, that's one tough truck, especially the engine!:eek:

Saw this vid quite some time ago...


gotta love it :)

I like how after the fire so much of the vehicle still worked. :)

Damn thats a good engine. I would love to have a hilux diesel just like that one well just not squashed.:)

damn..........
 

Thanks for the show Chris. Loved it.
Had an old Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 back in HS. Beat the tar out of it daily. But nothing like that!!

All I can say after watching that: "Look out eBay. Here I come."

Thanks again Chris.

I want a Toyota Truck now :D

AHAHAHAH!!! :D Very nice.

That's the same guy that did the Audi V8 MPG diesel ride.

:cool:

yeah they have a show called TOP GEAR and im a big fan of it! his name is Clarkson.

I really like Episode 2 where they lay out Kalifornias emissions plans up to 1999.

"40% of cars, 70% of trucks, All Buses
To run 'clean' fuels by 1999" :bowrofl: A plan to buy up all the old polluting vehicles in one swoop and scrap them all.

I love watching old shows with plans for the future and laughing at how WAY FAR off they came to be!

"...and if the number starts with an 0836 it is a mobile phone *thunk*" :D

Hmmm...that gives me an idea for the '70 300d.:eek:

Brilliant clip.

That bit at the end where they brought the tower block down had a lot of sentimental value. I grew up around Rachel Point and Hackney Downs Park.
