Right, 1, i'm an iditot, assume i know nothing, its much easier that way, no one is dissapointed , just plesantly suprised and the ability to rub my belly whilst pstting my head at the same time.....
2, I'm gonna buy a truck, or some disciption, some bastard put the idea of a landy in my head, i havent slept for two nights thinking about it.
I live in sweden, work with trees, mainly in urban areas but on occasion in the middle of the ass hole of nowhere. 3, Will need to carry tools and kit, tow reasonable loads upto (couple of tonne) mybe drag over the odd tree, 4, be abused, camping trips, thrashing through hills etc.
I have been looking at ex MOD Defender 90 late 1980's 2,5D good colour and dents will only add to the value of the vehicle. My sister and her fella have just offered me there 5, Freelander td4 3 door. Much shal we say classier looking, would feel bad if i rammed it in a ditch, but much better road charateristcs...coz i will be doing regular long hauls in it across scandinavia - i have driven defenders before the first 10 minutes is hell and all you do is complain, after 30 minutes your body goes numb and you complain but it doesnt matter coz after oly 20minutes you've gone deff - (i am right in this, and its not just me is it? ). Both looking at 3.5k....
think the freelander is an 03 but i'm gettg more specs soon.......
what would you do???
