Guess I forgot something else Steve, it's winter down there. I'm familiar with the 'Hilux' name, Toyota used it here in the states years ago, tough little trucks, used a real 'beater' of one years ago in a local 'blizzard' to get my step-son into seattle for NBA games, three old engine blocks in the bed, a set of tall skinny snow tires and I was passing 4X4 trucks in 2 feet of snow.
As far as your question about me, I've been working on BMW's over 30 years, for profit, in dealerships and getting the factory schools in Monvale, NJ, Dallas TX and L.A. CA, but would soon tire of dealership and BMW's factory practicies and technician compensation so would always go back out to independent shops, which is where I am now and found this forum by chance as a way to share what I can with other BMW enthusiasts you may 'be led astray' by other "profesionals", well meaning or not.
hope to hear from you soon, braving the snow.........................jeff b.
