My wife has long complained that the 116 300SD is an old lady car and she doesn't like driving it. I can't concur with that judgment but I bought her a 1994 FJZ80 LandCruiser today to get her out of the old lady funk.

Mrs. Kerry?

After almost 30 years of Marriage, I will give the Love of my life the Valentine that attention that She deserves. I think my tongue may be tired though.

A 15 yr. old gas-guzzler Toyota?

I'd at least give my gal a 2 year old, 30K miles R-Class CDI, to haul the groceries and the 130 lb. Bloodhound in.......but that's me.

You give them what they like. In her youth it was an FJ55.

Picked it up today. Seller had to do some work to get it thru emissions since the standards were tightened up last year.

Not bad looking for what it is.

Be interesting to see what it drinks...........

I wish it drank diesel. Somewhere between 11 and 17mpg according to what I read. But of course it can go a lot more places than a W116.

17 would be a miracle.............hopefully it's a bit above 11...........

Sure........but, most of its trips will be on pavement...........
