My unicorn, ZK Fairlane, sentimental reasons. The owner has owned it 10 years and I asked was it converted to run on unleaded, he looked confused and said it's dual fuel he runs mostly on gas. Was in outstanding condition considering it's his daily and around 40 years old. |

This morning: XG panel van full reg; two XF utes, one full reg/one club permit; two Corolla sedans, third generation circa 1974, both full reg; a Nissan Skyline or Pintara sedan, circa 1986-88, older driver, full reg. And a red Focus sedan (could have done with a polish or clean) second generation (wiki tells me there was also a facelift 2nd gen but this one was early 2nd gen).

Early 90s grinner 2wd hilux, dual cab extended frame and extended ally tray. Im more used to the 3rd load axle conversion then a normal 4 wheel extended ute.
Although, i did work with a bloke years ago with a bagged rodeo 'shorty'. So it was bagged to sit on the ground, single cab with the frame shortened to accept a tubbed dual cab tray. So 3 foot or so shorter then a regular single cab or dual cab, tray completely usless as it had the compressor, tank and metering block in it. |

I actually saw one yesterday, same vintage Hilux but single cab with P-plates.
Same carpark had a lifted 5th gen Hilux dual cab. Solid front axle with leafs! Looked cool, but no thanks.

I can not say that I have seen a Honda N600 Scamp on the road in a long time. A mate gave me both and 3 Batmobile's and One big old Batmobile that shoots rockets in a original box. I have not even taken it out of the box. |
