Such a shame. The car was featured in this exhaust comparison video. It looked mint at the time.

@J Henderson Good find John yes it looked and sounded lovely thanks for looking, I'd failed miserably to find it.

Such shame, looks like a pretty major prang. Hope the driver is OK.

[Big Rat]

@JonP Yes it looks pretty substantial looks like a roll over what do you think ?

Ouch, I reckon that's rolled a couple of times going with the damage down the drivers rear 1/4. Could have dug in after losing it on a corner maybe who knows. Sad but looks like the cabins held up not too bad.

[Big Rat]

@mike mMike yes it seems that way, it's just good for parts now unfortunately but some on here may benefit.

Big Rat

[mike m]

@Big RatI think I've found a use for some of the parts.

 

[Big Rat]

@mike m Yep I posted that a little while back its a beauty shame it's only a one off, the noise it makes is just filth 😂

🐀

[mike m]

@Big Rat ahh that's probably why I thought about it, knew I'd seen it somewhere lol. Certainly my kinda Hilux 

[Big Rat]

@mike m Yep who'd want a wimpy diesel when you can have a V8, I used to have a couple of Nissan Navaras for work they were ok I could never get the right deal from Toyota 🙄

Hi folks. Warrington Guy is right, I did own a mesa red one until June last year. I sold it to a guy from Kent. I've just been in touch with him and it's not my old car that's been written off. There were only 8 mesa red ones left in the country (so I'm told)...... only 7 now. :-(

[Big Rat]

@finchy40 Gary thanx for that matey I'm.keeping up a data base of all the cars and there registration numbers, can I ask what yours was to see if it's my list ?

Big Rat

[finchy40]

GY08GBE but I know the new owner but his private plate on it and I haven't a clue what it is now. If any of you lads are thinking of selling....... don't!!!!! I regret it and wish I still had it.

Hilux are expensive and hold they're money well so I'm not surprised. Lot of Navaras are snapping in half 

At the risk of going off topic this is my idea of a proper pickup and would love one from Oz. Still a V8 but diesel unfortunately.

Think that clip was Bluewater 2016, the mod’d ISF is Pete’s one, there’s a supercharger going on that very soon, saw the red one there and yes she was in top condition, id be gutted and daresay the owner is too 😔

[Big Rat]

@Womble72 Yes it looked a top car feel for him, hope he/they weren’t physically harmed.

Wonder if @Peter P18 new him.

@finchy40 is that lexus Edinburgh showroom? Looks like Seb in the background. If it is then he took me and the wife out for a quick run in a Mesa red ISF when I'd just bought an RX. I won't go into it too much but the wife went quiet sitting in the front lol.  Two years later I bought my isf.
