Off-Roading in a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover – Part 2

comments
Several weeks ago I had an opportunity to spend a few hours at the Land-Rover Experience Driving School in Manchester, Vermont. The school was a ton of fun and I have learned so much in those few short hours that I just couldn’t fit all into one post. In part one we learned about what…

Found on Craigslist – 1993 Ford Aerostar

comments
As I was sitting in traffic yesterday, a thought occurred to me; I have not seen an Aerostar on the road in months. I used to see them often, especially the second generation XLT models, full of kids, their stickers all over the windows. After all, why not? The extended cab models had lots of cargo space,…

Here’s a cool truck from the Hot Rods & Hogs show last weekend in Maltby, WA. With the family-friendly nature of the event and the free registration, it was guaranteed to draw in a wide variety of cars from around the area. Sitting quietly between a shoebox Chevy and a rock crawler, I saw this…

Last week, we took a look at some of the great classic cars at the Big Rock classic Car & Cycle show in Duvall, WA. It was a big show for a small town, and well supported by everyone who brought a car, truck, tank (yes), or motorcycle. For your Truck Thursday viewing pleasure, I want…

Truck Thursday – Land Rover Defender 2.5 Td5 keeps on trucking

comments
Our own Kamil has oftentimes mentioned how he’d really like a sturdy Land Rover Defender for himself, so when I happened upon this green example on a Helsinki side street, I really had to document it for him. Most of the Defenders or older Land Rovers you see here are the short wheelbase 90:s or…

Truck Thursday: Logan's Run – Dacia Logan dCi Pickup
/
/
comments
Walking on the Helsinki street, I noticed this humble-but-useful Dacia Logan pickup. Since trucklets such as this are favorably looked upon around these parts of the Internet, out came the cameraphone. The Dacia is a couple years old, with the 1.5-litre Renault-sourced turbodiesel. Of course, everything you see here is Renault-sourced. Even the Volvo S40…

I am biased, but I think Hooniverse is the best car blog out there. A big reason for this is YOU, the readers and commenters. The wealth of experience and the oddball vehicles owned are second to none. Today, I present Hooniverse commenter Matthew’s XE Falcon ute. I’ll give the Cliffs Notes version. For the…

It is no secret that I have an unhealthy addiction with most things Land Rover. It probably started at an early age while watching Camel Trophy coverage and matured when I spent six weeks driving around southern Africa in a Defender 110. Overtime my lifetime I was prepared to sign a check for various Landys…

V.I.S.I.T. – 1966 Ford F-100 is Ready for Action

On Monday, I attended a huge car show in Everett, WA called Cruzin to Colby, hosted by the fine folks at Seattle Rod-Tiques. When I first heard about it last week, I thought it would be worth checking out, but likely a small event. Then I heard that registration for the car show was limited…

Truck Thursday: Oregon Coast Ford Falcon Ute

comments
[Ed. Note – The pictures and beautiful story are by commenter stickmanonymous. Thanks, mate!] It was true for me, at least as an automobile-loving child growing up in the south-east suburbs of Perth in the early 1990s, that familiarity bred contempt. My working-class suburb was home to all manner of vehicles that seemed to me…
