I see you mentions a 2lt Petrol Surf, if you are looking for cheap-to-run careful heading down that road. I had one and it was not cheap to run. Running about 7 mins each way four times a day for about a week and a half of was about $90. When I filled it up after that I walked into the house and offered it to the first person I saw (plumber that was working on my house) and he bought it and I got the diesel cruiser.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.

They are a thirsty engine which puts people off. My flatmate had a #### of a time selling his a few months ago even though it was the cheapest on trademe :S. Good luck man.

All good with the wheels. I need to do the body lift first anyway. Then the wheels.
As for the vid. I just checked the one I emailed and it works fine on Windows media player. Did the DVD of Marks work? We have only just bought the camcorder and are still working out the best formats etc. If you can find a format that will work for you let me know as I have a converter here and can probably change it to another format easily.

Hey Taz, They aren't thirsty they just love to drink it.

need a tow car still but half the cc rating
Half the cc rating doesn't matter a hell of a lot with modern wagons, My old VR Commodore with the 3.8 ecotec motor was more economical than the wife's BZ touring Corolla 1600 rice burner. The Commode is seriously underrated in the economy stakes and I'm told the later Ecotec motors are even better

Sorry to hijack a little...
A chick I used to work with got a Commy, 3.somethingL and it was way more economical than her 2.0L skyline (better looking to ). She said she was told there's a year (probably the year ecotec came out maybe, I don't know much about these things) that's sort of a cut off point and anything below was a bit of a guzzler and anything above had more modern technology that made it a completely different engine consumption wise. Think it was mid to late 90's maybe?
So maybe a newer engine with smaller cc rating would still be a good bet. Saw an add for a car the other day that switched between 3 and six cylinders as you drove depending on your boot. Interesting idea.
In the end just about anything is going to be cheaper to run than that PJ though .
