The new diesels are very nice to drive but I would not want to break down in the middle of nowhere in one...at least I can get home with an old 2.8.

I would like to get an old Ford F100 in 4x4 and put a V8 diesel in it, they are wide enough to travel well in the paddock...and you can walk around the engine whilst it is in the vehicle instead of pulling the rotten thing apart to get at anything.


An F100 would not be my cup of tea, but would love on old Hilux, or Land Cruiser 11..Trouble over here is that a lot of salt is put of the roads in winter, so any vehicle from the 1990's or before is likely to be a rust bucket..

Do you still see many of the old Subaru 1800L pick-ups over there?
