Daihatsu F50 Taft in Costa Rica

Now this is really cool!
As you might know I offered a taillight to anybody out there who might need it and here is where it goes, on Brians yellow F50 in Costa Rica. That light gets to travel! First from the factory in Japan, onward to Australia, half way around the globe to the northern part of Sweden and now way off to Costa Rica - Wow!

Brian was kind enough to send some pics of his ride.
I think it looks real solid. Those mirrors are nice - from a Land Cruiser perhaps..?
I'm sure the four wheel drive gets to good use on the rough roads over there.

In the LAND of ROVER

Greetings from Oxford, England!

We're visiting our daughters here in Oxford.
Lots to see around here. Visited one of the best designed skateparks I ever seen.

There's also a lot of cool and interesting 4x4's, mostly Land Rover Defender.

Here's a vintage ride that I spotted the other day. Looks to me like a Land Rover Series II 88 inch. Now there's a project for someone with a lot of time and enthusiasm.
Looks like it had been standing there for some time. There was even moss growing on it.
Quite charming. I'd really like one just like it but in a slightly better state.

A third brake light - coolest ever!

A while back I found this old flashlight. It's got this cool feature where you can change the colour of the light. You just shift these three sliding knobs to choose between a green red or blue lens.
I don't know it's original purpose but I guess it's from the fifties or sixties.
I got an idea on what to make of it as soon as I saw the red lens.

Rear bumper off and new tail lights on

I've had plans to improve the tail lights and rear bumper for some time now but it hasn't happend until now. A dutch tourist inspired me to get started. He inspired me by crashing into me! So my crooked rear bumper got even worse and the left tail light cracked. I wasn't to upset about the whole deal - much to his surprise. I was actually quite excited because it helped me to get started!
