Great choice Paul. Have you seen the Top Gear Hilux challenge? Those things are invincible to everyday abuse.

Going to watch this one Paul, I'm on a car building fad at the moment.

[PaulTRose]

Once apon a time, When working for Toyota, for a project I had to created an isometric illustration of each of the various Hilux chassis that were locally sold, showing local and imported components - its amazing how much goes into a chassis. Imagine if we had to build them up in PE??
