    Hi. I am a UK refugee living in Florida. Recently got a 2001 2.4 regular cab Tacoma. Not my 1st choice tbh but, after a couple of weeks of driving, it looks like it was a happy accident that I ended up with it.
    I bought a pool servicing business (now there's a 1st.. a Brit, with a pool company, in Florida :rolleyes:) and a friend had just inherited the taco which was now surplus to requirements and so for sale. At $3000 I couldn't refuse. Right place, right time for once, I guess.
    The only thing that put me off was the 186,000 miles. The last owner seems to have taken good care of it (in fact it had a full service 2 weeks before the business was sold) so, I am hoping, that should not be a problem.
    Hope to learn a lot from the Guru's of this site, glad to be here. :D
