Nice, Mike!
The Prado is a great car, but not really a direct competitor to the likes of the Patrol or the "real" (i.e. heavy duty) Cruisers. The Prado competes with the Pajero and as such, it is an excellent all rounder and probably a very sensible option for the vast majority of 4x4 enthusiasts.

Hi Ricster
I used to have a TL1000R - it was a fantastic bike except the rear suspension wasn't so lekker bt I love that V twin power and torque.
I sold it some time ago
Thanks guys for the welcome messages I feel very welcome here.
cheers
