@jegga That's great. I don't really LOL but did he actually say 6HP? I really love my cars but mostly drive a beaten up old hilux ute, which is akin to his final comment of "this thing is just fucking awful".
HEY! NEVER insult the deathless Hilux

@NTA I secretly love it of course, and people actually smile at me and let me into queues when I drive it. They don't do that when I am in the RS4, funny that...The hilux also looks like the end result of the Top gear guys trying to destroy one, and failing. Only 180,000k's as well, so hopefully get another 300,000 out of it like my Hilux surf.

Its only a 200cc two stroke so 6hp is apparently what it puts out . If you love cars have you ever checked out this site?http://ateupwithmotor.com/ Be warned its one of those black hole sites that you can click on and then wonder where the last three hours went.
I've had two hiluxes and loved them both, I want to get another one as a project with my son. My brother has two-the model from the first crumpy ads with a surf v6 and a stout he wants to put an alloy v8 in. I'd never heard of a stout till he dragged the thing out of a farmers shed. It wont be winning any beauty contests, heres a restored one.

Bloody hell. I bought a 190cc lawn mower 2 days ago. Subaru powered and bloody good.
I'm at risk of sounding like Clarkson, but there is no substitute for power.I really don't want to say this, but that Stout is, well... "cute". Definitely looks like it needs a V8. Not a real man's diesel hilux of course. You should definitely educate your son on the joys of shitbox hilux ownership.

It's got that so ugly it's cool thing going on I agree . I prefer it to the other cars he was obsessed with-bloody Volkswagens, he's had about 30 and a kharman ghia. He restores kombis and beetles , I borrowed a kombi when my ute was out of action and bloody hell it's like joining a secret club. When you drive around people flash their lights and wave at you, people come up and chat to you out of the blue at gas stations . I think the most bizarre was this guy that followed me home and told me how cool my kombi was and asked if I wanted to join the local VW owners club, he wasn't too pleased when I said " I'm not one of you mate, I only borrowed it".
Btw is a hilux that much better than a surf? Surfs are way cheaper.

@jegga would Crump have driven a Surf?

This (and I still own a surf).
As for the VW thing Jegga
"When you drive around people flash their lights and wave at you, people come up and chat to you out of the blue at gas stations "It's either pity or anger, take your pick. Neither is good but that's what you get for driving one - borrowed or not. Wife has a Golf GTi but I don't talk about it.
