The ones we got here had one single rectangular headlight with the indicator beside it and didn't have the bumper over riders. And of course the steering wheel was on the other side. Otherwise looks the same.

Lifetime warranty!

And interestingly the UK built ones used the Essex V6 whereas German built ones used the Cologne V6 which later found it's way into Explorers in 4.0 litre form.

Mine was an original imported English built 1969, Ford zircon Green. Later ones were assembled in Australia.

You don't want TATA, I had a TATA Xenon ute for a couple of years, it came to me a few years old but almost new via a family estate. Whilst it looked good on paper, like if you could buy a mid eighties Hilux new in 2011. In fact it was the crappiest car I ever owned and I ended up trading it...

The best small cars from the big three at that time came from their Euro and British branches. The British small Fords, and German Opel stuff were brilliant little cars in the 1970's, having owned one myself for about 5 years, a Ford Capri, which was super simple and reliable, and easy and...

The BYD Shark 6 hybrid utility won Wheels car of the year over here above Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. Most owners are very happy with their purchase and the fit and finish is impeccable. I see more and more of them on the road every day. BYD have been very clever as the only really new bits...

And they don't look too bad apart from the tiny 2.0 litre appropriately named (weak hybrid) diesel engine. ( had a look at one parked next to me the other day)

Sadly they never built the Maverick in RHD, otherwise I feel it would have sold well here to city dwellers, who just wanted a small ute for camping or taking stuff to the dump, but the rest of the time have to drive it in traffic, and park in squeezy inner city parking spaces. So said people...

This how mine looked!

That's a good price, I just replaced mine a few weeks ago they had gone past the grey stage and were actually cracking and breaking up. If they were made in Thailand they probably come from the same place that makes them for the factory, because that's where all Rangers destined for Asia and...

Yes it would be good to see a pic of the US 6G chassis to compare. I had the impression that there were some minor differences between the Global 5G and US 5G because the 5G wasn't originally destined for NA. (Ford didn't want to steal sales away from the F150) However in order to minimise...

I was reading an interview with a fairly well known local businessman from here who basically rose up from a being an auto electrician to a multi millionaire through a combination of hard work and good business sense. He's come under fire from some quarters of the rich community because he has...

Enjoy

This depresses me as I see the exact thing happening here. When I was young I bought a three bedroom house in what was effectively the inner suburbs, I had only been working a couple of years after university, but I was able to earn sufficient money to not only buy it, but still live relatively...

The Super Duty has the 6G frame but stamped from thicker section steel for the added strength. It's not the same as the 5G (PX3) frame. A bit like how back in the 1980's the F100, F250, and F350 all had basically the same frame but stamped from thicker section for the higher rated trucks. Yes...

Yes Dobinson's stuff is very good, I didn't realise they were selling in the US now. They have a very avid following over here. The factory is in Rockhampton in Queensland, about 500 km from where I live. They are one of the few spring makers here to still make springs the old fashioned way...

Plus a bit more, if that had happened over here your insurance will pay out then approach his insurance, his insurance who will wipe him if he was drunk, and then your insurance will take him to court to extract the money - so not just a fine. If you run up the back of a car here it is 100%...

Yes tile roofs are harder to install panels on because you have to cut and waterproof some tiles to screw to the battens underneath. But because concrete tiles are heavy, particularly when wet, they usually sit on nice sturdy roofs. Iron roofs are much simpler they can simply remove some of...

Certainly the coolest 4x4 in the campsite.
