TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 70 STATION WAGON


My dream vehicle to visit my dream, off the beaten track, wilderness getaways. Eish! Wow! Don't have one....yet....but this is my passport to freedom and WILD, WILD PLACES! Loaded with my kayak on the roof rack, fishing and camping gear, photography equipment, food and drinks with my nearest and dearest inside it's hit the road and outa here!! BUT...the price! Ouch!! Well a guy can dream. If the reports are anything to believe, it is well nigh indestructable. (I can just hear the Landie brigade choking on their drinks!).


Well, I saw some truly awesome pics of one of these beauts towing a caravan nogal (a wonderful Afrikaans expression second to "gatvol") up Baboon Pass in the mountains of Lesotho. To describe the boulder-strewn route as a "track" would be a major overstatement!! There ain't no "track"!! And many of the boulders would hide a Mini. What a feat! Yes please....I'll have one parked in my driveway thankyou...anytime.
