Just when you thought that you had raised your kids to be fine up-standing citizens and that they would follow dad's lead and buy a trusty Toyota 4WD, number one has gone shopping for a BT50 dual cab. I mean, when he was on his Ps, I gave him my modified 90 series which we subsequently sold to fund a Falcon ute for his trade. I could live with that. Then that got written off so we put the money into an XR8 Ford ute. As a Ford petrol head from the 70s I could live with that. Number 2 just traded his (mum's) old Camry for a nice Aurion Sportivo V6. He doesn't need a fourby so I can live with that - at least he kept to the Toyota brand. But as for number one, I don't know what to do. Should I tell him not to park the BT in my driveway when he visits in case the neighbours get the wrong impression?

Tell him to get a Ranger. Its a better looking, better priced BT50...
Its a Ford, so you can probably live with that.Spilsy

we have a 150 Prado and a 2013 Ranger. I traded my 2006 Hilux in on the ranger. I miss my Hilux. Ranger feels like it was built in a hurry and not as solid as my hilux was.Comment

He really wanted a Ranger Wildtrak but paying off a new house he can't stretch the extra 12 - 13K to manage that.Originally posted by Spilsy View PostDave

He's employed, doesn't take drugs and hasn't knocked up some 15 year old skant. I have to be happy with that.Dave
