Yeah, i havent seen one of those in ages. I think over the years ive seen more import toyota surfs then 4 runners (same thing). Although, a bloke i worked with showed me photos of his brothers 4 runner. It was one of the late 80s ones. It was lifted, custom canvas top, and had a lexus 4L v8 with a turbo . So it had the time and money thrown at it.

Flatmate had one of those, back in the day. It was a really likeable, practical little hatchback.

The original 300c brought here in around 2005.
Used to see them once a week, now it’s more like once every month or so. Based on my ownership experience I guess they’re all broken down now. |

There's a 2 door 4Runner I see down the beach occasionally. It's in OK condition, but the only one I've seen in ages. BIL had a petrol 4 door version back in early 90's, swapped it to a petrol 80 series when the 4Runner ate more fuel than his 308 WB farm ute.

Saw a JZX110 Toyota Mark II this morning, JDM stuff is becoming ridiculously expensive.
You used to be able to get this **** for sub $10K landed and complied but anything JDM with a 1JZ/2JZGTE is 💸💸💸 now |

Same with JZS171 Crown, landed and complied $12,500 last year, this year high teens. Not sure if it's covid price hikes? But JDM massively increased just in the past 12 months, especially the good ones 1JZ/2JZGTE |

On a run up the shops i drove past a really nice looking xd, it was low and loud, the number plates referenced 351, and it was a v8, so probably a 351. Then 2 streets later i passed a bloke driving a 90s square extended tub 4 door f350 dually. That thing was lowered on rims, as wide as the lane it was driving in in the rear. It was rediculously long. God knows where you'd park it in todays world of ever shrinking parking spaces. It was as long as 2 cars.

Went to 'All Asian day' at Lakeside this morning. Lots of nostalgia and turbo cars id forgotten about. Plus plenty more recent and current cars.
Highlights for me included... 240 zs Rotary capellas and rx7s Etc Plus plenty of everyday street cars including coronas, pulsars, wrxs and the like. Everyone enjoying the moment in the warm qld sunshine.

Yeah I saw one just before lockdown and thought the same. The same with Minis. A new Mini is bigger than Austin 1800. |
