How silly is that Terry, on P-plates you can't drive a D4D Hilux but you an have a V6 one. The D4D accelerates about as fast as a 3 legged donkey but the V6 can be lethal if not driven carefully. When I first got mine it turned around on me on a wet road under normal acceleration out of a roundabout. Last Saturday I had to go to Sydney to pick up a microfilm scanner and I hit the throttle a fracton too hard on the freeway doing 100, and the back end kicked out 90deg, I doubt a p-plater would know how to deal with that.
