Cool Cars in Ichinomiya #17

Nov

I love old Landcruisers like this one. In outback (countryside) Australia, you can still see quite a lot of them, especially the tray-back version. That version is popular because it`s useful for carrying farm things such as tools, animal food, and working dogs. And because farmers in outback Australia are good at repairing & maintaining machines, they are able to keep old cars running for many years.

I saw this blue one not far from my house. Cool isn`t it? It`s a little rusty, but I think that actually suits it.

The owner of this car is lucky - just driving to work would feel like an adventure.

That's nice! I think many Japanese people frequently buy a new car. I also like old cars, but I can't repair & maintain by myself even my VW's noisy door. haha...

Yes - there are more new cars on the road in Japan than Australia.
Your VW door is still noisy? Don`t worry - maybe every door on this Landcruiser is noisy!

I sometimes want another car for agriculture. Now, I have carried the tools with a rear-car which was moved by a human's power. Ha, ha... It is really useful for me. Actually, my car got so old. But I love my car.
