Farewell, Mighty Grape...

...the NEW Grape! Yep, I found a green (Hey -- grapes can be green,

It's gonna need a little work to get it perfect, but the frame and body
are rust-free, it has a color-matched (yikes!) topper, and it runs like
a champ. Soon, the fuel savings will continue anew!

You should have got a Toyota HiLux. They are almost indestructable. The
BBC TV programme 'Top Gear' put one on top of a tower block that was
demolished, and it still ran afterwards. They abused it many other ways,
too.

An excellent watch.

In the US, Toyota calls the HiLux the Tacoma. T-100's are also pretty
close to indestructable.

I saw the Top Gear video a while back, and it reminded me of my '85
Toyota pickup. After 12 years and 300,000 miles, my truck looked like
the Top Gear truck. G
