The cruiser's primary original design function was to move slowly off road, aerodynamics are a non issue if you use it for it's designed purpose....... And not a highway commuter car.
Yeah I know but 11MPG seems crazy, I guess people still wanted high power NA engines, they did sound awesome.
There is a Landcruiser pickup over here running 8 second quarters, probably gets better economy than the LFA, hahaha!

11MPG, that's about the same as a gas 100 Series LandCruiser but the cruiser is almost double the weight and punches a much bigger hole in the air, pretty poor economy for a Toyota.

I'd go this instead-
I would pay $5k for that, easy.

I got to see an LFA in person twice. There is one here that goes to the nicer car events. You could also buy one new just a few years ago.

It's just a culture clash reaction from Changleen, it happens when the cultured meet the uncultured.
Now to work out which one of you is cultured and which one is uncultured.
It's a 50/50 call

Hey I’m no longer a lager lout! I only drink craft beer these days. And cocktails. And wine. And prosecco. and spirits. And I had one of those seltzer things the other day. Don’t pigeonhole me man!

My son wants a subscription to motortrend after seeing on one the pharmacy magazine stand. “It’s only $18 a year!” i bought him the one, then he proceeded to fill out the subscription leaflet with his details!

It's true...

I'll never forget the day like 10 years ago, making a left hand turn through an intersection, and not seeing this person crossing the road. The lady was behind view of the pillar and was walking at a speed that perfectly kept them hidden. I felt so bad, but it was as if she was invisible until the last moment.

Now I always make sure to double check around the blind spot...

It was in a Mazda 3, so not a horrendously sized a-pillar, but thick enough. Though it did have a speaker right in the corner of the door/window, up against the pillar, taking away some of the visibility.

It's weird to see Australian taxi motors get sent to the other side of the world-

They do get some solid power locally so I imagine an international pissing match should push the locals harder.

I'll have to remember to take a pic of the Defender 130 6x6 I go past every day on the4 work commute that's for sale & post it up.
If it wasn't for the fact that it would drink a crazy amount of dead dino juice and I'd have to lift the dog up to shoulder height to get him in and out I'd have grabbed it by now.

Did you get in touch? Willis at Fit Garage or South to North Ian would be great choices. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDDIyCH7jH/?utm_medium=copy_link

I think you might need a 70 series, Steve! You owe it to yourself! Also they are getting more expensive.

@HardtailHack Can you send one over for Steve please? You guys have plenty.
Ask. https://instagram.com/danie_mon?utm_medium=copy_link to give it a once over if you have any doubts.
