I never taught my simple question "is there any engine other than tiico and subaru that fit under the lid without modification to it" would have made such a big thing......

You know guys I've been on this list for about 3 weeks since I only bought my vanagon about a month ago. I've been on a Landcruiser list for around 6 years and I really enjoy it and I've never happened to read anything like I've been reading in the last couple of days I really hope that it is not always like this because I will for sure take my name off it (you probably don't care anyway) but just wanted to let you know that I can't believe what I'm seeing. After all aren't we suppose to be a group of people trying to help each other? The Landcruiser list I'm on is like a big familly everybody is ready to help everybody and everyone try to measure everything they say before writing it.

I find it unfortunate that we can't just get all this experience and work together without all the threats and everything else.

Come on guys we're all adults and it's not because one person makes bad comments that we have to get into the game and do the same.

Anyhow it's my two cents and I appologize for my english I am a pure french Canadian.
