I thought the 300 was just a mildly changed 200 until I parked next to one. Toyota used a big ugly stick. The 200 ain't pretty but compared to a 300 it is, but then so is my tractor.
What does your day look like?

My missus still drives my old one, 2011 and apart from standard servicing, I changed the charging alt as was starting to fail... probably due to being immersed in water. Reliable old wagons, hers is just about to click over 220,000.

Ours is an early 2013. It too is the wife's. May have the updated pistons, probably but not 100%. I have modded it to suit our needs. Did injectors at 180,000km when they got to ~2), engine mounts (hateful active things) same time. Sealed for life gearbox flush and oil every 80,000km. It isn't fantastic but it works and does all we need so spent a shit load getting it back to good with new hoses, belts, suspender rubbers etc and those bits. Will look at replacing it in a couple of years.

But then I wouldn't have been able to post a funny looking critter...with the Land Yacht maybe something like this is more applicable.
Agreed, much better with the bike up there.

Nah, new 3L petrol TT Ranger Raptor.
If they cant get me one in a reasonable timeframe, I'll be keeping my 200 as there's only ~80k on the clock.
Need to keep these 'L' blokes out of it if I want to keep it un-clapped
Why, they seem to be gentle on mechanical gear...Nah, new 3L petrol TT Ranger Raptor.

Yes, very. They dont get named Clapton and El Clapo for nothing.Why, they seem to be gentle on mechanical gear...
I never knew bikes could feel and look so clapped out until I see theirs and their mates... and my 2 have me working on theirs, the other boys are spending time and money at bike shops or bringing a bike here for me to tune and diagnose problems.
Haha! Done that too.

The toddler wanted to go to the wildlife park today and his favourite animals are in the reptile enclosure:
We saw Crunch the salty have his weekly feed on Sunday and now the toddler wants to be a crocodile keeper.
Mr 6 is far more risk averse and wants to be a penguin keeper.

That’s some fuel economy of a forklift….780kms, wont need to fill up again until Xmas!Doing my Forklift License (toot toot) today so I had to drive, stopped and filled the tank on the way home...not sure what I put in it but I'll be happy if I manage 780kms out of a 65l tank.

Sad but true.
Toyota have done nothing to shine in the last few years. Current model HiLux is the only passenger vehicle being produced in 2022 with drum brakes.
