Another damned newbie

Hello everyone.
Have just purchased my first Land Rover - a defender 90.

The site has been really useful to me over the past few weeks when considering the purchase - so thanks to you all.

I try to use the search option as much as possible, but if I do happen to ask a question that's been asked a 100 times before - be gentle with the flaming

I use the vehicle both on and off road:

on road - just to get to work and back (about 15 miles a day)
off road - driving fields, thru woods and over the surrey downs in search of rabbits for the pot

I have to admit, at the moment driving off road scares the cr*p out of me - but at least the tensing of the buttocks is good exercise

:welcome2: Hello Zeroshift,

I'm in Surrey too, where abouts is you?

hello and :welcome2:

Not far then, I'm in Cranleigh. Some nice local lanes around Dorking, Ranmore etc.

haven't got round to any of the 'lanes' yet - still taking it easy on the farms.
The 90 is used to transport me over some shoots - actually got a couple near you (Rudgwick).

Any local 'gems' that you think I should try would be welcome.

Thats one way of looking at it!

Good to have a thick skin on here, theres a lot of **** taking, but its all in jest. As you've noticed though, there is a gold mine of info and advice here

Welcome!
