Since I confirmed my overland trip to base camp Mount Everest, I decided I had better get a proper 4 wheel drive for the trip. My favorite has always been the Toyota Land Cruiser & Prado. I was thinking of gettting the LC80, affectionaltely called the Ninja. The were lovely to look at with their rounded edges & massive tyres. Driving them was another thing alltogether. I couldn;t quite connect with the car and didn't feel in control at all. However, I was pleansantly surprised with the handling of the LC70. Eventhough the 70 series was nearing 20 years old, the car handled like a dream. The engine I choose was the 3.0 diesel turbo. The match with the LC70 shell was superb. It didn't take me too long to decide to go for the LC70s. The one I choose is shown in the picture above. Now I have to wait for the registration papers to be in order before putting in the deposit & taking delivery of the vechicle.
