Boathouse lane is a 'closed' paper road, but the Auckland area clubs have access to a key to use it.

But welcome aboard, I like the 80's

i had a patch ov rust on the back door so i welded it up and bogged it.. ended up having no primer, only black and yellow. i had seen the paint idea on u tube so i decided to try it with the leaves and branches. ended up getting a bit carried away cos it was fun to do, ended up just painting the whole truck its something different and its only my beach/bush truck and its not road worthy so why not haha..

How do you find the 80 to own?

I used to spanner at Toyota and always liked those big units.

Cheers.
