    Default Sad Day, and THANK YOU

    Hi to all,
    Well, it's a sad day. I've decided to part with my trusty TJ.
    For 80,000km it has taken me and my family wherever i wanted to go with reliability. But sadly, with over 250k on the clock, i's time. I am happy that she will end up with a family member who will take care of her and be repaid with the same motoring experience i have had.

    Which brings me to the next point....what did i replace her with?
    I honestly couldn't find anything in Aus for reasonable $$ that would do what the Mighty Magna could, with any sense of style or grace....so i imported a car.
    My next adventure begins with 4.6L of Japanese techno-overloaded V8 Toyota.

    I want to thank everyone on this forum for their help over the years, and will be directing the new owner here also.
    Again my thanks.

    Supra?
    Lamenting the loss of Australian manufacturing.

    1998 - 2005 Mirage - still missed
    2005 - TL AWD Magna still paying for upkeep

    Pre `98 - non Mitsis including two Fords, a Toyota and a Daihatsu

    We replaced or TF Magna with a ZJ Outlander 6 years ago. The difference is chalk and cheese. The Magna is a far superior car - even the TF model. Driveability is infinitely better with the TF. Sure - the Outie has more safety features, but overall I wish I could have a Magna any day over the Outlander. Rearward visibility when reversing out of angle parking spots was bad with the Magna, but forward visibility of the Outlander is rather poor. The Magna is such an under-rated car...
