Purpose built shooting vehicle.

Rod, when you say that the floor was high and the roof low, on the Hilux Surf, that reminds me of the Navara. High floor and seats flat down on it, like a boy-racers car. Worst seating position of any fourby I've owned.

By the way, forgot to add that I've also had a Jeep. It was the CJ6 with the six-cylinder inline petrol engine. Loved the vehicle, but couldn't afford to run it. That was back in 1979

It was the CJ5 I had, same engine, straight six. Wasn't the CJ6 the long wheel base version ?

I suppose the Surf was designed for little jap men about 4' high with 18" legs, I'm 6' 1" with long legs. It was like trying to get a giraffe into a jack russels kennel

Lol. I have a picture in my head of you out in pursuit of Reynard. In your Milk float.
I have to confess and say, I have also thought of this.

When I came out of the Army in 1982, I started a Milk run with a Farmer friend. We sold the best Milk in a town of 20,000+ people. The business was sold to another Milk man as the Milk we were selling (that was pasteurised by the farmers Brother in law) had too much cream in it. When people woke up in the morning and seen an inch of cream on the top of the bottle. They did not like that. The Milkman that had been in the town for 60+ years, sold watered down Milk. I knew this as I knew the guy who's job it was to put the water in the tank, to thin it down )they bottled the Milk on site).
Put out of business selling a better product. All down to people not knowing what good Milk was compared to watered down Milk. If it is all you have ever had then you take that as a Bench mark.

Did you watch the lardy video, with the Bosch illuminators and the big expensive camera. Bloody good footage, Crap footage through the scope mounted camera. I was expecting better than that.
