Jasmine Green and her 1991 Toyota HiLux

Jasmine had no experience with cars, but that didn’t stop her from building her own! Working as a barista, Jas spent her free time teaching herself what she needed to know. See how Jas, a Street Machine of the Year winner and fully trained motor trimmer, is making a BIG impact in the restoration and custom car building world.

From Coffee Beans to Street Machines

Jasmine “wasn’t a car person” until she bought her first one – a 1991 Toyota HiLux, dubbed “Khaos”. A barista with a passion for dirt biking, she was looking for a mini truck that could haul her bikes to the tracks, but couldn’t afford a suitable one. So, she decided that the most logical solution was to build one! A decision she made despite having no experience in building cars, nor any background in cars.

Working as a barista for the majority of the HiLux build time, Jas spent many long nights and weekends learning what she needed to know from YouTube,

her fiancé Michael, and friends in the car community — setting out on a journey that would change her life trajectory forever. In 2020, eight years after deciding to undertake this huge side project, Jas found herself with a one-of-a-kind mini truck, a new passion and a new career as a motor trimmer. We think it’s safe to say that Jas is now a fully fledged car enthusiast!

Want to know what hard-to-find pieces had to be brought back in suitcases from the US, or why this Toyota thinks it’s a Holden, or how many new skills Jas has learnt over the past decade? Check out the latest episode of Sunday Driver to find out.

Driven by the Drive

Jasmine and fiancé Michael are known in the Mini Truck community for the reliability of their cars. Khaos has driven many long-haul trips around Australia, visiting car shows in Macksville (NSW), Adelaide (SA) and has even ventured off the mainland to Tasmania.

“I built it to be driven, not to be towed. Yeah, it gets stone chipped, and I have to clean it but the enjoyment I get out of driving it outweighs any of that.”

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. Fire away, we love talking about all kinds of vehicles. But first these are questions we get all the time. For more information, please refer to our PDS.

How does a nominated driver policy work?
We know you trust the people you let drive your vehicles. That’s why our Declared Driver policy only covers the approved people who’ll get behind the wheel. It gives you a greater peace of mind and a better price.
Will we insure a modified vehicle?
Enthusiasts make everything better. So we make sure modified vehicles still get the coverage they deserve. To be covered, simply disclose all the modifications you’ve made. If they meet Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and/or the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules (AVSR) of your State or Territory of Australia, then we’re all good!
What are salvage rights?
If it’s a total loss, and it’s that precious to you, you don’t have to lose everything. If it’s over 30 years old, salvage rights are automatically included in your policy. If your vehicle is 15 years old or more, the choice is yours – salvage rights are optional. Check out the exact details in the Policy Disclosure Statement.
Who’ll handle my claim?
Real people, real Australian’s, real motor enthusiasts. They can handle any issues or claims claims via phone or email. They’re on-call Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm AEST. Or if you’re into DIY, download a claims form from our website and off you go.
