Congratulation's Guys. I have had my 4 days and so far clocked up 1000km.
I hope you love it as much as I do. Sure it's not a race car but the pulling power is fantastic. I took the PopTop for a test drive tonight and hardly felt it. I do need to get a brake controller fitted though. :shock: :shock: :shock:
Overtook someone coming home tonight and looked down only to see that I was sitting on 120 without even realizing.
I hope you both have many happy and safe days in your Prado's

Thanks Hutch,
yes the Dark Blue looks great! As mentioned earlier it was the colour I wanted to get my last one in, but ended up with silver. The silver also looks great on the prado, as it does on just about any car, but I have to say this blue looks awesome. It wont hide the dirt and dust anywhere near the sliver, but man it looks good. 4 of the last 5 cars I've had have been silver and one white, so the Dark Blue is a welcome change. At the risk of offending silver prado owners, (and I know theres a lot of them)
it seems, silver ones are like ar**holes, ....everyones got one !!! :wink:
cheers

Hey Blacksheep, as you say, the 6 speed is a cracker. Driving up the highway you can easily get beyond the speed limit. It just wants to go.
Thank goodness for cruise control !
I got my dad to take some pictures but he hasn't e-mailed them yet.
As soon as I have them I'll up load them. (My wife's overseas and has the digital camera.)
Dad's promised me a CD with the pictures on tomorrow. He hasn't got Broadband yet. Damn ISP service we get in country areas. Promises from big companies about service and only lip service from so called concerned politicians but no actual 'service'.
more tomorrow.

A couple of pictures.
The front driver & passenger windows have been tinted to match up with the rear windows having privacy glass from the factory.
I'm really happy with the sheepskin seat covers from Blacksheepaustralia.com at Nunawading (in Victoria, suburb of Melbourne.) They were organised by the Toyota dealer and I got the second row seats done too but didn't worry about the very back seats as those will be out of the car most of the time.
The car colour is Chrystal Gold (Dune) and the interior is Ivory. It's the only colour choice for the interior. It's bound to get dirty with our red soil here but I'm going to take a look at the Sandgrabba mats.Adrian.
