Lets have some fun re pick up trucks

[Rob1982]

What a dammed cheek!! I drive my Amarok to the job all the time. Fill the back with logs and tow a 12' ifor tipper with sticks. I love the thing, its a proper work horse and drives like a car. Sips fuel and is fast as @?!+:001_tt2::001_tt2:

Ok this isn't meant to offend anyone/owners of said trucks.

 

My other half consistently reminds me of how I "label" pick ups.

Now the question is this a local or national trend?

 

Mitsibushi l200's (usually animals) - Normally town vehicles, driven by blondes picking up there kids from school and being badly parked clearly when said man about the house is out working a 70-80hr week for there upkeep.

 

Nissan navara, Now these are a bit unpredictable and either appear to be driven by someone of supervisory status or towing an ifor Williams.

 

Ford Ranger, always a work truck. Beaten around and never cleaned, normally with a boxy ex utility fibreglass back.

 

Isuzu Rodeo, normally the sign of a new business starter, for some reason the long time business's stick with what they know so don't bother.

 

Older Hilux, yes I do logs

 

Newer hilux, Im a builder or work along construction lines.

 

The landrover 90/110/130 Im a farmer, a farmers son or like off roading. I don't care if its unreliable tho as its cheap to fix.

 

VW Amarok,Well lets just say they wont be seeing any mud anytime soon. Ive never seen a speck of dirt on one.

 

 

Ring bells in your locality?

:001_smile:LOL, went to look at a Navara this weekend, my wife was supposed to be the main driver as a family car ( shes deputy nursery nurse) aand I drive a 110.

Only point is the landys costing a fortune to put right

I saw a knackered transit flare side chugging up the road in a cloud of blue smoke.. Does that count as a pick up?

[rovers90]

I have a similar rating for Land Rovers - bog; mod; or rad! Obviously bog is bog standard, mod is modified so that could be spot lights, snorkel, etc and rad is radical - loft kits, roll cages, monster mud tyres.

I would not have an anorak, a mechanic asked me would I pull a trailer with a vw golf, I of course answered no,

Well he said an anorak is the same engine as a golf with two turbines, just wait another couple of years folk will be dying to get rid of them

Sips fuel but guzzles oil.
