May 9th 2004,
The trailer's driver who responsibilities to transport this prototype to somewhere else for Toyota have to stiop his trailer for a lunch near the Toyota's Thailand training centre,near Bangkok.
unfortunately,1 of the competitors staff found it amazingly.then taken these picture, & forward them to many staff on his company for a week before someone
posted them on some unidentify Thai webboard.
then the customers who catchup this project like me
(he want to buy a pickup-truck) found & copied it
to post on the Thailand's most favourite website
http://www.pantip.com (Ratchada cafe's room)
Then,the "Manager newspaper" take it and published it
last week.
& I think is on the right timing to let all of you here
know about it.
