I certainly wouldn't waste a good bottle of Bollinger on a Toyota!

A friend of mine works for and agronomy company in the riverina and they arent allowed to have petrol work utes for this reason, if they drive into some farmers wheat crop to do some tests the hot exhaust on petrol engines sets the crop alight.

My '03 TD5 Disco has a catalytic converter - and I'd like to remove it too.

Nobody drives on my wheat crops, or if hot weather then not on stubble either.

Kharma will get them, and they deserve it. I am not a Cat person but thats just plain cruel and desgusting. I hope the little ****s burn in hell for it.

A can of beer makes a really good fire extinguisher if you get to the flames soon enough. Big shake, half pull the ring, point and away you go.

On my trips I make sure I carry enough cans of beer to put out 36 fires.

Things that make you go boom!

Martin wins, but would you use the beer on a prado?

I notice that just when the big toyos are becoming less common in Syd, theres so many more of them around here, driven by mums, who'd never go off road.
