Toyota Hilux Top Gear North Pole Pics
I did reply in the other thread about this, but thought it was worth copying to a new thread as these pictures are so good 
Im involved with the team at Toyota who did it and I have all the original stills imagery, in 10 megapixel format, here are some cut down ones that are web safe though:
Not going to leave them hosted on my photobucket for too long though in case everyone starts linking them to other forums and canes the bandwidth.

That was a pretty fucking good advert for one of those. As such I bet Toyota couldn't wait to be involved?
I missed the beginning of this, did they choose the HiLux because of all the abuse the old one stood up to?

Bit more to it than them already liking the hilux but it was a factor.

Yeah I pop over there quite often for meetings with the suits when we are doing new projects for you guys etc, the convertable hanging upside from the roof was cool.
I'm dissapointed to see you have misplaced your ducks now though

I wish I had gone though, looked like a lot of fun, sadly I only got to find out about it after it happened, I wasnt part of the planning or anything like that.
