    Toyo drivers - Is it just happeneing to me???

    I notice that when you drive a Landie and a Toyo or Nissan driver, ( but mainly Toyo land bruiser drivers) hate being behind a
    Landie. They just can't wait to overtake you, it's like there is the mentality that they have to lead they just can't seem to bear being in traffic stuck behind or lead by a Landie. Or is it just my imagination???

    <span style="color:blue">i get that too....they rush to get past me so they can cut in infront of me....

    maybe the sticker on the back upsets them.....?
    (it says...."attach buggered toyotas here"....and has an arrow pointing to the towbar...)



    on monday i saw a toyota cruiser......it must have had 28 inch chrome rims
    with about 30 series tyres....including spare.....which was mounted on a
    rear wheel carrier........which also had on it a jerry can......
    it had bull bar and i think a winch and spotties........cargo barrier....
    it looked well set up for the suburbs......

    the bullbar and rear step/wheel carrier and even the jerry can were painted
    the same colour as the car......
    it looked very bling.......


    it even had a spare spare underneath in the normal spot.....
    probably the original......</span>

    Around here a good proportion of the LC100 drivers are up themselves, so they tend to pass everyone, drive too fast and hog carparks.

    The rest of the Toymota and datsun drivers are pretty good!

    I get a lot of looks though, I think because not only do I have one of only four D3s in town, but I've got all the add-ons as well(now including the rooftop tent).

    The tent will stay on until I can get around to engaging in a little panel work on garage door opening so I can get the car in to winch off the tent.

    Hi Guys
    A few weeks back we went to Bunbury.A few of you WA guys will know Roelands Hill between Bunbury/Collie.
    I had a 80 Series Tojo on my back bumper at the Southwest Hwy turn off.He hung onto BlackBettys bumper like a dirty big heammoroid.We got to the overtaking lane that starts at the bottom of the hill and goes all the way up.On goes his indicator when he pulled level I let BlackBetty have a full head of steam in 4th.The look on the other drivers face was priceless as we departed and I gave a friendly wave,she held 120Ks all the way up the tight pinch in fourth then 110 in fifth the rest of the way up. AND THE CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE AT THE START SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM HE WAS HOSED BY A DIESEL NOT A V8
    A mate at work just paid a lot of money for a nice 80 Series Diesel Tojo,he was telling today its a gutless heap of POO.Boy did I laugh"Baz I did tell you that before you bought it" Apparently he went to overtake a roadtrain coming back from Perth,he got 1/2 way around and the hill started to get steeper,AND THE ROAD TRAIN STARTED TO MAKE GROUND ON HIM
    I told him I cant wait to give him an "ovetaking lane drag race" 8) 8) 8)

    <span style="color:blue">ive done similar to what the tojo has done.......

    i refuse to back off on hills and will jump in the overtaking lane so as not
    to back off the throttle......cos if i do......lurch will refuse to get up the hill...
    i will have to start changing gears to get up at 70kph....
    whereas if i keep it planted it will drop down to 90kph....and pretty much hold that
    speed to the top......

    as soon as my speed starts to drop off....i then jump back in to the left lane
    as i definitely wont be doing any overtaking up hill.....lurch isnt chipped....</span>
