sweet orange Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 On my old Land Rover. It's funny, I thought that going from the Westfield to a knackeereerd old Landy would really take some getting used to. But as soon as the old thing passed it's mot we just jumped in it and started enjoying it. Now the rainy season is upon us, I have fitted it with a hard top I got off 'The Bay' for £50 (not an option with the westy) and that's it job done. Hopefully go and splash in some puddles with it before long. (again didn't say that with the westy!) So if you're looking for something as a winter play thing while the Westfield is in hibernation... Try one..... you don't even need a beard and cammo gear! Quote
Norman Verona Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I would love one. Have driven lots of Landies but never owned one. Quote

Norman Verona Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 So do I get a prize? I like prizes Quote
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I might have an old copy of land rover owners magazine as a prize Quote
User0083 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I'm trying to find a nice defender 90... V8! Then one that matches money in bank is getting tricky! As for posting... I've posted far less in the last few months. I stopped all together for a while, but had people say they missed me! In hospital ATM, unfortunately I have limited reception and zero PC! Quote

Sorry to hear you are in hospital, horrible places full of germs. I searched the small ads for a Defender to start with, but they were all asking too much for them if you ask me. Ended up with an old 2a bought from a bloke down the pub..... that's the way to start a project. Quote
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Hmmm V8 in a Landy Range rover diffs 110 wheels Roll bar a must (I capsized mine once) On gas ? Sorry off I go again Quote
Norman Verona Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 An original series 2 or 2a will do me. Quote
