I'm actually trying to convince my wife that the BRZ / FRS would be the perfect car for her! :-D I'd rather a Pajero or Pajero Jr for myself. But to chime in to the earlier comment about caring for your bus, I bought my L300 for 13K (taxes included) in '08. I had to sell it in '10 when I was forced ...
When I did the bullbars on my bus, I wire wheeled as much of the paint and rust off as I could, then brused on a coat of Plasti cote rust inhibitor (comes in a black bottle, is green and smells like poo). after that, tremclad anti rust primer and tremclad hammer coat. I did it in 2008 on my march br...
Last time I checked on 5 star, they still had the "Landmaster" nameplate on the front. :-D Yep, now instead of having a big beefy van to commute in in downtown Montreal, I'm down to a 250cc motorcycle! Thanks for kind words Rick, but I think I can safely say that like most people who own a...
Three years... Ugh! The triple pay cut is what really stings (sea duty allowance-gone! Housing allowance-gone! +Wife had to leave a good job) At least the city is scooter + motorcycle friendly! There is no shortage of places to park and all for free! You just have to survive the death race into the ...

Here's a little something I discovered today while prepping the Landmaster for sale (looks like I'm getting transferred to Quebec :-( ) Down Corning #4, electrical insulating compound. Great stuff, we use it onboard ship to keep the rubber boots on our shore connections from drying out and some peop...
ATTENTION: HIPPIES, FAMILIES AND ADVENTURERS! Due to an impeding transfer out of area, I have to sell the best car I have ever owned, my 1992 Mitsubishi Delica. This is a true go anywhere vehicle, able to hold its own in downtown traffic, drop the kids off at school or blaze trails with jeeps and ot...
Another option is to take your van to Lordco and have them do a color match. Most of the larger stores have a digital camera that they use to sample your paint (they used two or three locations, just in case one spot has a lot of fading) then they use that to get the right ratio of colors to make yo...
I had previously changed the speakers... The hard way! :-( It was actually easier to remove the dash than it was to replace the passenger speaker! It only took me about 45 minutes to pull the dash, less if I knew before hand that I didn't need to unplug the switches in the dash. All the dash wiring ...
