    Oh, and I find my Hilux comfortable - I spend most of my day in it, and never get out feeling uncomfortable to be honest. I also think it looks pretty good. Mines got a hard lid, bullbar and LED driving lights - pretty cool company car IMO. Where did Tombie go?
    I’m with you and I’m in a similar position.....would the company I work for buy ther new defender I’m betting no

    Interestingly I was reading the paper the other day and hi-lux was cheaper than BT50, Ranger, Ammorok and one other.

    Just done 300 000 k's in mine,its going in the next week or so,has been pleasurable,comfortable,not ugly or rough,and never had a repair,ever.

    Sure my LR's have been ultra comfortable,but very expensive to maintain,and definitely no where near as reliable.And the D4 isn't that pleasing to the eye.....but thats all personnel preferences.

    Anyway,back on topic,i didn't mind Tombie either,sure he had his own views on things,rubbed a few up the wrong way,but geez,its a public forum,so thats what you get.If you don't like it,move on.

    And he had a lot of knowledge that he shared with others on here,which is what its all about.

    It won't be long,i bet he will be back.

    As he's done a couple of times in the past, he has simply tired of the petty arguments etc and decided he he had more important things in life and needed some time away.
    Tell him I said hallow Please.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Tombie never offended me with any post he made. I cannot recall him saying anything offensive.

    There are a number of members here who do offend me.

    There is a simple way to avoid this.....ignore them, You no longer see their posts.

    I have a few members on ignore , it doesn't change the thread one bit not to see their post.

    Control is a wonderful option.

    Along with Mike, I miss Ben/isuzurover, I miss Dougal, I miss John/bush65.
    Add in Pete Simpson, Eric/the109....
    If I start thinking about it there will be a stack of others, too.
    I can't say I miss uninformed even though he's hardly ever on here as we're going to climb a mountain on the weekend. Where did Tombie go?

    Offend you? Are they personally attacking you, your beliefs, culture, family??? In what way???
    Unless they are then I think your choosing to be offended. A difference of opinion does not necessarily constitute "offending" someone.

    Note: please don't take offense to my comments as that isn't my intention.

    Good on you Tombie . . . . . as good as it can be, there IS more to life than just a forum.

    He's the guy who thinks outside the box, I say "if everyone is thinking the same then no one is thinking"
