Running out of Surf's???

[Woodzie]

Have a look at all the land cruisers around that are 40 yrs old, although the early ones are less complicated than the surfs, I guess it depends how much money you wanna throw at a vehicle.

I think the surfs biggest enemy in this country/ hemisphere ( apart from woodzie of course ) is rust. If that could be eliminated the surf would live forever.
Please see below for my ultimate truck, for sale on ebay.built in 1967.

How are you getting on fitting the perming lotion rack? and do ya think the alternator is up to running heated rollers 24/7

I was only wondering, as the surf seemed to reach its pinnacle of development, both in style and performance, with the early 3rd gens** & that was in the mid to late 90's, previous to that 1st & 2nd gen surfs seem to have been a sort of a mismatch of parts, almost parts bin specials IYKWIM
And since the 3rd gen there has been little to beat it.

As your salon on wheels is at Tony's (who, as far as I am aware, only owns 1st and 2nd gens) welcome to this week's vote

Gotta admit I kinda like this http://www.mazda.co.uk/Showroom/BT-5...ACHEHINT=Guest

Also branded as a Ford but 2.6k less

As an ex owner of the B2500 (Ford Ranger in disguise) I have to say the build quality was ok but off-road in 4wd it was like Bambi on acid I needed hald a ton of blocks in the back to keep it stable ! much amusement on the langdale quest at me doing the course sideways ! oh and the bench seat in the back very uncomfortable for moaning passengers

You have to chat to the victims especially when you are using hair straighteners, in the comfort of your more luxurious 3rd Gen Surf complete with all mod cons and new Battery etc !
