Jacob’s Spotted Thread

600+ miles today and only one Cruiser of note: a completely blacked-out, snorkelled, mean 100 machine on the M74 just south of Glasgow.
 
Spotted you I believe just heading on to penistone road I was in the hilux gave a wave
 
I had a feeling that was you! Good to put a face to the Hilux.

Do you do all these miles in your 100 then?

Interested in the fuel costs? Only as I need to replace my disco3 due to the miles I have done already.

Thinking of a 100 or a 150

Most of the miles are done in cars and vans that I deliver for work but we do rack up a fair few in the 100 on odd jobs around the country. Went to Bicester yesterday for example - 270 miles in total and around £60/50l in fuel which works out at around 25mpg. It’s acceptable but I am looking for a more efficient second car for that type of journey when we don’t really need the space or the features of the Land Cruiser.

This afternoon finds me in Cleethorpes where I had a nice chat over a portion of chips with a charming older couple who have been running this peach for the last eight years.

And no, it’s not for sale any time soon.

Ahh could well be. We were in the same places on the bike. Banner Cross is West side of Sheffield as you drop down to Hunter's Bar, Wirlow way. It certainly looked like your rig.
 
It probably was, garage is in that vicinity so that's where we ended. Did see quite a few bikes so must have seen you. Glad to see you're not a fair weather rider haha
 
Quick detour to The Car Warehouse in Middlesbrough. Great selection of Jap imports and oddities.

No Cruisers but they did have this lovely ToyoAce truck.
