So get this, I managed to trade a beaten up Gen7 Celica (With around £1500 of repairs due) to a guy for my dream (The reasonable, achievable dream) car; A Freelander!
I managed to get hold of a 1.8 Petrol Kalahari. 3 Doors, silver, and I love it! The gentleman seemed to know a lot about Land Rovers, which filled me with confidence as he said that this Freelander had X, Y and Z done to the engine to help prevent the "typical Freelander problems", as he called them. I did do a bit of research before the trade, and I can only assume he means the temperamental head gaskets.
Anyway, you will be seeing me post here and there for a few reasons:
1. I am a very passionate photographer and will be looking to capture a great deal of Landy shots!
2. I am never satisfied; I will always have a new venture with this Hippo, stuff like modifications and places to go with it.
3. I like cars. I like the idea of cars. I love the technology involed in how they work. I missed out of the opportunity to learn more about them at college and I am now pursuing knowledge through other means. I want to learn about the ins and outs of how they work. This Freelander, I hope, is going to be the beacon of all of that.
I'd like to start my time here with one fundamental question:
Did I make the right choice going with the petrol version as opposed to the TD4?
So, without further ado, here she is. She's not much, but I hope to have some fun making her better with every step I take.
