Yes, Paul. Someone is going to get themselves a bloody good little 4x4.  Oh dear Jim i hope you don't regret it later on  It looks in excellent condition still and you've only put a few thousand miles on it. Of course I'll regret it at some point, I always do. But that doesn't stop the itch for a change. It is in excellent condition and we put 10K miles on it in just over 2 years but all the moving that we and our daughter have done since September showed the 3-dr to very good hauling stuff around but it became clear that something a bit bigger was needed. Moreso when we were forced to borrow our trainee son-in-law's Disco for some bigger stuff.  And yes, Bob, we sold it back to WCVC who told us when we bought it that they would like to have it back if we were ever selling. They were just as good to deal with as when we bought it. Funnily enough the same guy came to collect it as delivered it back in 2019. Very straight, honest guys - highly recommended. |

As soon as the children at Toyota design a ROUND wheelarch that goes with them ROUND wheels, they will win me back.

Neighbour has one and I can't help thinking 'Tonka Toy' every time I see it. That being said it is a big car now with good 'road presence' and plenty of space and capability.
Enjoy :TU:

Lots of toys to get the hang of and the acceleration is something else, especially for such a big thing.👍 I'm not sure about the black wheels but because I liked everything else about the car/deal, I reckoned that if thet really get on my nerves over time, it won't cost a lot for TWS to refinish them in a different colour. |

Very nice Jim :TU:
I think the black wheels go well with the colour of the Rav or perhaps the greyer look wheel might look good?

You're right, grey might be good. We'll see; ypou never know I might fall in love with black eventually ... I suspect that you will. The gloss black compliments the overall theme / style of the Dynamic and looks just fine. And the squared-off wheel arches make that area of the car very much easier to clean - so easy to fit an under-body lance into the gap!  |
