Sup kents....

I'm back from QLD, where I managed to enter a competition called "Move in front of the car sitting on my rear quarter so I can merge before my lane ends"

I won the game.

The judges of the competition were QLD Police officers with hand held laser beams, pew pew!

Pulled into a side street and given my prize. 71 in a 60.

Jointly bitched with them about how crappy Hyundai i30's are to drive.

Was doing 74 but they knocked it into the lower bracket because I was "extremely cooperative" :P

Any idea what I can expect in the way of demerits? There's nothing listed on the notice about demerits... Does QLD not have points for low range speeding? Which means that nothing gets added to my Vic points down here?

Also, QLD is living in the 90's... the only way to pay is "In Person" or "By Mail (Cheque or Bank Cheque)" *sigh* sif no BPAY option

My SA speeding fine never carried demerits over to VIC, it's not to say it can't though.

What's a tuff/reliable 80s/90s 4x4 preferably 2 door?

Budget ~$3k might stretch for something extra clean/lower mileage

Any suggestions?

Patrol MK/MQ/GQ shorty

Suzuki Sierra

Landcruiser, F/BJ40 or 73/74

Daihastu Fezora/Rocky

Isuzu MU (rare thou)

These are off my head at the moment.

Cheap, yes, not sure if they're that reliable...

If you're brave, worth look into discovery.

Also another good option, Mitsubishi Pajero

defenders are pretty reliable as there sfa to them, a very simple car and the engine been aroundsince the dark ages.

a disco on the other hand, lots of electrics to go wrong (where Landrover is known for issues)

another option no-one mentioned yet and a little out of left field

Jeep Wrangler.

Convertible cool at that..

true

5-6K starting, but that nearer 2000 not 80's plus low km.

personally of the low I would be going for a 2Door Patrol best of the lot and soo many parts for them

that said a FJ70 is a great car, but they all have 250K+ km now

Currently debating whether to buy landcruiser lately.

One day I want a 60 series, next day saw a 40 series (proper oldie not the modern take) and decide I want this instead.

So many wants, not a whole lot of money... Typical of me!

    • For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.
