My wife says I am crazy

My wife says I am crazy because I want an older diesel vehicle, such as a diesel Toyota.  But here is the proof that maybe I am not crazy (or at least not for my want of an old diesel).  Here are three links to 3 videos from a British TV show where they try to destroy an older Hilux diesel.  I will admit they go a bit easy on the truck at times, but I was still impressed by how the truck held up, especially after the last trial.




Enjoy.

  1. My love,
    I did not say you were crazy! At least, I don't remember saying so. Okay, I admit that there's a possibility I may have said that.

    But I will get you an older diesel someday. Unfortunately, all I'm able to do at this point is one of the Hot Wheel or Matchbox variety.

    But how 'bout a newer Golf TDI? I would try to drive it whenever I can, especially if it's a manual.

    You may have to be driving the kids around for a while while I take your car. :)

  3. I have seen these guys on TV before. It was when they drowned it in the salt water. It was pretty crazy. Their truck is looking like some of my Toyotas. I have had LOTS of them and I personally have never destroyed one of their engines (all gas). My wife on the other hand has managed to do in two of them. Ironically, one died in a cemetary. I must point out that most of the Toyotas I get have one wheel already in the grave. I should have documented some of my Toyota exploits. I've got some pretty good air with some of them. I have a neighbor that has a 2wd Toyota that looks a lot like this one. Held together with bungee cords. He finally bought a different one and uses his old one for wood hauling. Maybe I will break the mold on my blog and make a tribute to my Toyotas. Nice post!!
