    Pitty he never had a car that could last race distance. Or travel more than 18m down the pitlane on one memorable occasion! ;)

    I saw the Top Gear program where they tested the Toyota Truck...

    They Drove it down a long flight of concrete stairs, sideswiped it against a wall, drove it into a tree, submerged it in seawater for four hours, (After that it was on its side, half buried in sand - they had to dig it out). Then they dropped it from a crane, drove it through through both walls of a wooden shack, dropped a cravan on it, (from a crane), and hit it with a wrecking ball afew times.

    And after all that, it still drove at 30mph! :jawdrop:

    So they set it on fire.....

    And failed to stop it working.

    Think thats about it.....

    my dad has a 1983 Nissan pickup... all original. he chose a great color for it, banana yellow... but now with the rust spots make it polka dot, kinda like an old banana. :D i just thought of that, wow, i'm funny.

    anyhoo, the point i'm trying to make, those cars are friggin' indestructible! i have a theory that a silver bullet couldn't put this sucker down.

    thats the car i have to look forward to... yay... i'm gonna have fun with it though, black electrical tape racing stripes... maybe just make it totally black, i could peel it off like 007 and escape the bad guys!
