    Yes!!! Basic 4x4 videos! Most people own something under $6000 and watching 4x4 action is rubbish because I don't have anything close to what they have. This is why you guys are getting your name out so well. People relate to this.

Not only are you showing love, respect and appreciation toward your Grandfather but you are also keeping a piece of living motoring history "alive" - Kudos and respect to you Dan 👍

    Congratulations again boys. Superb content.
    I am assuming that you weren’t even born in 1987. I was about your age back then. I used to drive a 1967 1300cc ford cortina mk2 back then and it wasn’t just Navaras that we’re slow. Most older cars would be screaming at 100kmh. I’ve also still got a ancient landcruiser 60 series, from the same period.. Keep up the great work boys.

    • @DavidWilson-jv9vh
      @DavidWilson-jv9vh 3 роки тому

      For the first 4 years of holding a car licence you must display them, the P is short for probationary. You have extra restrictions on your licence such as no high performance cars (under 125kw/ton), no performance modified cars, limit on how many people you can have in your car, no blood alcohol, use of bluetooth, speed limits etc. Different states have different rules, different time periods and they often have different levels deliniated by different colours of the P.

  • @Riley_Finley

    I used to rebuild the gearbox on those all the time. If it starts to whine in 5th gear , get a rebuild sooner than later . If you let it go, it will lead to more transmission damage and cost to repair.

    Great to see someonw with a lot of respect for their vehicle. Something that was apssed down like this will mean a hell of a lot more to you than anything else and thats why you will look after it. Ive got my Grandfathers old tinny and restored that back to original when I got it (with added Nav Lights & fish finder) and although it rarely sees the water I will never sell it. I will one day pass it down to my son or maybe my younger brother if my son doesnt want it.
