When being 18years old isn’t all that good

I’m a car nut. Okay maybe thats an understatement – while other children wrote letters to their penpals (no, we didn’t have facebook when I grew up), I wrote letters to car companies.

My most famous of course was when I wrote a letter to Lamborghini and one to Pontiac. Of course it would have helped if I had sent the right one to the right company. However a few weeks later a letter from Italy arrived informing me that Lamborghini didn’t make the Firebird. *embarressed*

So I’m a car nut, so this year I decided to part with my pride and joy (an immaculate ‘99 Altezza RS200 Z edition – with limiter removed, don’t ask how I found out), and buy an 18 year old 1989 Toyota Hilux Surf – a truck.

So I’m a car nut, right! You’d think I might know a thing or two about vehicles. I ask myself the same thing every time I hear the funny noise my truck randomly makes. It’s in the engine .. no it’s not in the engine bay, it’s in the engine – as in under the rocker cover.

It’s an interesting truck to drive, each day a new noise, vibration. The truck only cost $3000, I have a gut feeling fixing this noise might just be a little bit more expensive :(
