    That’s the big question at present Brian, linehaul is a major issue. They do use a typical CCS2 DC charging station, but nearly all are dedicated to cars, and nothing bigger. I’ve not seen any truck charging stops. Lots of truck depots and distribution centres have them, but that is for their...

    Michel, I think the most amazing thing in the above is the three motors, compared to the engine. Amazing size difference.

Also I took part in our EV Champions training regarding the new range. It was a great deep dive into the mechanicals and electrical systems of these...

    Car of the week

    I thought “car of the week” would be a good place to put this. I’ve been fascinated by this car since it’s inception, but besides some specs, really didn’t know much about it at all. Doug does a fantastic job really taking us through this amazing car to really show all of its quirks & features...

    It was a game changer in its day. Probably the best engineered car in the world at that time.

    I agree with both of you, I pity the young trying to save to buy a home, and yes, how the F#&K does buying a TV affect inflation?

    I think it will jump up towards the end. Good luck. Unfortunately I won’t see it. Back to Brisbane to drive trucks in the outback for photo shoots and video until Friday night.

    Can’t you sell it for him for a good price and he can pocket the money?

    You are spot on Brian. Mechanically supreme. It was the electronics, harnesses (like your ML) and vacuum issues that cause these to be sold for under $7,000.00 Vacuum operated soft close doors 🙄🙄

    Ouch, That’s scary when the brake pedal disappears. Only experienced it once in exactly the same method you described when I first started driving. Yes, I really do know the meaning of pooping your pants after that 😳

    That should be a nice little job Michel. Maybe just sticky slides?

    Love a quick easy fix Michel. Is it running well still? My FJ40 had a cracked solder joint where the fuel pick up tube joins the base plate of the pick up, didn’t cause it to stop, but caused fuel starvation. Idled beautifully, revel well while stationary, but driving and then requiring full...
