You're wasting your time.

This lot would slit their own throats rather than admit that any of the 2.4's may have a bit of poke in 'em.

Unless one has a 2.4 of course?

Yup agree with you there - aint ever been outdone by one yet.

I almost caught up with a 3.0 being driven by an advanced Police driver, over 300 miles. Problem was mine only does 276miles to a tank, and he had his family in his. He got me at the fuel station.

But seriously... I wouldn't leave because of that!

Petrol just smells SOOOOOOOOOO much nicer than that oily stuff

2.4's are underpowered ain't that a fact, especially when towing a horse box + ponies + kids etc. In 5 years I did about 200,000kms in mine so I know.

The 3.0 litre Surfs are better.

4477cc Landcruisers are the way to go.

the 2.4s may be small, but they're perfectly packaged.

And so are there drivers.

Ok I’ll stay (it is nice to know that not everyone hates me)

I’ll try and think a little more before writing my posts and I won’t pick on 2.4’s anymore. It is true that I have never owned a 2.4 but I have driven them around Africa a fair bit (mainly in pick up guise).

When I bought my Surf it was an impulse buy. I’d seen Surfs / 4-Runners around and knew that I liked the look of them, but I didn’t know much about them really. I spotted my Surf on Auto trader, called at the garage on the way home and 30 mins later it was mine.

This time next year I want to be driving an 80 series Land Cruiser. But this time around I am doing my research and have decided that I want an auto with cruise control, leather seats and AC. I’m open minded regarding petrol or diesel, 12/24 valve, UK or import, 5/7 seats and colour (white, grey, black, dark blue, green but not maroon).

I already have a good Idea of the extras I want to fit: ARB front winch bumper/bull-bar, winch, ARB rear bumpers to hold a pair of spare wheels, roof rack, roof tent, snorkel, up-rated suspension and various expedition equipment..... and when I finally get another person established to cover me at work (probably late 2010-11 the way things are going) I’ll set off on a few overland trips.

Hi the only thing i would not have is the Leather had a couple of 80LC,s with Leather and i did not like them in the summer or winter. I will stick to "OLD" faithful ive lost count now, dont know whether its 11 or 12 years i had her now.

Ahh, yes 4477cc that is the petrol version isn’t it. There seems to be quite a few around at the moment.
I will probably be asking you (Boyo) questions about your petrol LC sooner or later if it is OK with you.

I might find something that catches my eye in the coming months, otherwise the “plan” is to see how my Surf fairs with the next MOT in October (it past Ok last time). The other reason for waiting till autumn is that it will coincide with my final loan payments and I reckon from then on I should be able to save at least 1K per month which will help either to increase my LC buying budget or pay towards the accessories/ mods I have in mind.

Overall, I like to do as Bob has done and keep a nice LC80 for a good few years.
Oh and I do like leather have it in the MX5 and in a number of past vehicles that I’ve owned.

Ps. I might even keep the Surf as well just for a shooting / green laning truck.
