....there is this ole fella(who i see all the time while out and about ) that drives around the streets of cairns in an old corolla wagon (i think) and he has an insulated cold room fridge door mounted to his roof racks ...
Yeah.
He lives down the road from us.
If you think his car is good, you should see his house (That said, try and get a close up look at the corolla one day - it's seen better days). You always know when it's starting to get hot, because the coolite comes out and gets strapped to the car :'(. His version of a tropical roof, ala the old desert landy's.
On the topic of dodgy things around Cairns, there's a Jackaroo that lives on Pease St, opposite the Brinsmead shopping centre. It's been cut down into a dual-cab, and had a chassis extension done to fit a full-size tray on the back. It's very obviously a home made job. I'll see if I can grab a shot of him at some stage - it's quite an interesting contraption. Full points for doing it yourself, but the result is, lets be honest, a bit rough.
On the topic of dual cab things - I followed a black dual-cab 120-series Prado down Mulgrave Rd last night. It *was* well done - by RWV. I'm still puzzled by why someone would cut down a Prado though - surely it would be easier just to buy a Hilux and live with the fact that you don't have coils in the back? For the $15k that a good chop job costs, surely you could do a 5-link coil conversion to the rear? Anyhew...
Cheers!
