OK...
After spending a few too many months on government benefits I had to go back to work finally...
Anyway picked up a job quickly doing courier work running food all over town (it's a large city here). It's long hours for crappy pay but it gets cash flow happening, and there is one side benefit, car spotting!
Tonight while driving to a delivery in an area I don't usually go to (probably 3/4 hour away from my house), I saw a familiar looking truck snout. Had heard of the Toyota Stout pickup (sold in the States mid-1960's), finally seen pictures of one recently but have never seen one yet, and here was one right in front of me parked facing the road. Despite being on the way to a delivery I took a quick two minutes to hop out, take a quick look and snap a couple of pictures. OK, a Toyota Stout pickup may bore some of you but my secret goal is to see as many old arcane import vehicles that I can and I'm playing catch up being born rather later than most of them (1972). So I can now say I've seen one and can cross it off the list in my head.
Here's to more sightings as long as I keep this wonderful job...
