And a good investment. They are going up in value now, as are most of the series LRs and eary 90's.

Wow, and the abuse we gave em didnt always have an easy life, but they were serviced every 5 mins it seemed, still I can honestly say they never let us down, used to drive one of the LWB ambulances as well, crash ambulances we called em, mega top heavy, you could take em so far and hold em there all day, add a touch of power or extra lock and down they went.

the figures speak for themselves...I've said it before, but there's a reason that 85% of all Land Rovers ever built are still taxed, mot'd and on the road. There is not a single other vehicle that has that record. Personally I think it is because if you are strong enough and not afraid to hit bits of your vehicle with a heavy duty sledge hammer, you can fix most things on them yourself and they are much easier to navigate and work on than most vehicles. You just need to be prepared to lose the skin on your knuckles and bang your head on regular basis on the bonnet/chassis etc.

where was my invite?

Ive seen thunderflashes and smoke grenades lobbed inside them whilst on exercise, seem them overturned and treated like you wouldnt treat any other vehicle, we kinda took them for granted tbh, I used to drop my zippo into the fuel filter/basket if I ran out of fuel for it, never use,d to leave it long enough before trying to light a fag with it, lost count of the times I lit a fag and set fire to my eyebrows, hair and the hairs on the back of me hand, thats probably why I was a driver and not a pilot

I'd love one, but I should probably go to the effort of getting a driving license first...


Stretchie, congratulations for becoming public enemy no 1 for all the organic yoghurt knitting, red book carrying, hippy types.

Thank you YC, I do my best

The 3rd and 4th piccies are they actually in Barnstaple or as you are heading out mate. Looks like the path we normally go down when we are bored at my Grandads...
