Aussie Made, Cornish Adopted

Nightingale · Dec 17, 2019

Hi all,
30yo Aussie who travels to visit Cornwall to spend time with my partner's family every Summer and Christmas. Unfortunately have no been able to find many tips down here or a community of offroaders who will accept me.
So hoping I can find some info and answers on this forum.

First thing I'm doing is looking for a Rear Tyre Carrier for my 1999 P38 and my father in law's 2007 Range Rover.

Bwahahaha....as evidence that LandyZone is actually very accepting.......I'm a Yank!
If they will accept me, they'll accept anybody. Welcome.

Yep anybody from the colonies is welcome

Your great, great, great grandparents need to have been born in Cornwall before they will accept you. We're a bit less fussy here though, so welcome and remember owning a landy isn't essential but a sense of humour is. Oh, and a thick skin.

I went to Melbourne in September and it was like being a long lost relative. Complete strangers saying hi and offering help.
I went to Cornwall once and decided never to go back

There is a considerable difference between accepting, tolerating and welcoming!

I have family in Cornwall, they don’t like outsiders down there, probably nothing personal.
So your P38 is a 4.6 V8, since your an Aussie??

Welcome to the forum

That's a shame bud, the cornish seem pretty nice, just a bit apprehensive of new people lol.
Glad Melbourne treated you so nicely.
That's where I live. Feel free to visit anytime.

I don't know if you mean earthquakes (because that's new Zealand) or Quakers the religious group lol

And luckily I'm mainly in St Ives, so it's less bumpkins and more artsy fartsy people and tourists lol

That's too bad. I'll take a bumpkin any day of the week.

Actually Aussies do have earthquakes according USGS. But i merely refer to the myriad of bouncing Kangaroos and Wallabies and irate Aboriginals

I thought they don’t get irate?
