90's car ad for 4 Runner, need the pics, VERY IMPORTANT
« on: November 02, 2014, 09:20:56 PM »
G’Day Swaggers
I’m looking for the photo from a 90’s magazine ad for the Toyota 4 Runner (could be 80’s also).
The add has an image of a Porche 911 bogged in the sand with the surf boards on the roof, the 4 Runner cruising past and a caption of “ The Off Road Sports Car”. I am recalling this from memory, have not seen it recently.

The reason for this is to have more ammo to throw at the LOUD mouth Yank we have working here.
You name it, he has done it, got it, been there and was paid mega bucks for it.
He drives a near new flash 911 turbo, $200,000 worth and is always bragging about it. He intends to trade it up to this years model regardless of the fact his wife recently gave birth to twin boys.
Yep, he isn't the sharpest tool in the box.  ;D

So for fun all of the ships crew wind him up, including me about how good my 1994 Troopy is.
The other Aussie here on the job (aged in his late 20’s) drives an old 90’s model 4 Runner, v6 version.
According to him, it’s a beaut, has 2 x A/C units (the flipper windows in the doors) a wireless and roof top tent, what else do ya need?
So for a good S—t stir value, I am trying to find the pic I describe above.
Anyone got an old mag lying about and can take a pic of it for me?
Or knows where I may find it.
The young electronics tech and I have tried all sorts of Google entries, sadly many sites are blocked here so nothing found so far.

This is most important!   :cheers:

Thanks for trying folks.
Guess we'll just stick to the traditional methods of winding the dill up, which is every time he opens his mouth......  ;D

With the pictures Bird puts up surely he could make something funny.

Not the 4runner ad but has a Porsche and a knob, might be worth a giggle!

The system here at work stops me from seeing the above pic and the link in the first post, so I was never going to find what I am looking for here.
Shall have to wait for when I get home on Friday Morning.
Cheers

Not in any universe has anyone ever thought of a 4 runner as a sports car  especially an 18R or 22R powered land anchor.

I did a lot of looking also. You sure it wasn't the Sr5, or Tacoma, or the Tundra? It was marketed as the 'off-road sports car'. But I never found an image with a Porsche...

Gee Markymark is getting there.
He sure is, thanks heaps for your help with this mate, yet another Swagger I owe a suitable refreshment to.....

I remember the Ad as we used it to take the micky out of a guy I worked with way back on the day, who had the 4Runner, the ad looked very much like the above.
Sadly, the Yank goes home tomorrow, but happily, so do I. Back in the land of Aus on Friday, so I'll have a look when home for it.
Thanks again everyone.
