„You are crazy“ – was probably the most heard reaction when describing our good old ‘Fridolin’.
Sure, 350 000km is a lot. 1985 is old, true, but still or exactly because of that reason we have chosen our Toyota for this ultimate overland-journey.
Heavy duty: All steel baby, no plastic here…
Spare parts: No problemo, worldwide available…
Repairing: Yes yes, the old days were better indeed, simple technique that almost everybody can repair… (even we in our good day).
Mechanic: Stripped to the essence and build to last.
Electronic: Only the most necessary stuff, so no need of a notebook to check the problem here!
Engine: Solid Toyota technique, build for lasting a whole life. Or two.
Age: Rusty, dusty – perfect, we don’t want to much attraction
Acceleration: Slow and steady, but hey, no problem, we have all time of the world
