Evenin'

Just a quick hello to all forum members from a newcomer.

I have just taken a great leap of faith and bought myself a Land Rover. I'm not an entire newbie to the Marque, it's just that the last one I drove was a Series IIA pick-up. Oh, and that was 30 years ago.

So having paid of my mortgage, I decided that my mid-life crisis didn't involve Harley's or Hairdresser's cars, but getting my knuckles all bloody and oily once again.

Anyway, having looked around,and scratched my head as to why there was no longer 3 sticks on the transmission tunnel on these new fangled jobbies, I took the plunge and bought a 110 Station Wagon Defender. It's 7 years old, so just a young baby in Land Rover years and I'm just having a bit of fettling done before I pick it up next week.

I won't be giving up my daily sensible drive just yet, and the truck will be used for camping and responsible off roading.

However,I already have a list of jobs which need doing- Waxoyling everything; clutch claw; extended seat runners; smaller steering wheel and a better alarm/immobiliser. And all that's just to improve driving comfort and in order that I will be able to sleep at night without some scroat nicking it.

Bye for now

.:welcome2: and good luck with the midlife crisis.....it'll probably end with the Landy cause you'll have no hope of picking up a young bird in it

My mid life crisis started a few years ago. This is how its went..Landrover Lightweight (Ser3), MGBGT, Lotus Excel, Posche 944, 2 Grey Fergy Tractors and a plough, Landy Ser3, 2 x 750 Virago M/cycles, Landy Ser3, Dodge 50 camper, and finally back to Ser 2a Landy, all I have is the last Ser2a Landy, sold/swapped the rest for the next project etc. Waitin for the male menapause to kick in.
