Hello from Betty & Myself

Offhandlandy · Jan 31, 2020

Hi All, I'm new to LANDYZONE and forums in general actually.
I own a 1988 Land Rover 90 fitted with a 300TDi & R380 conversion (courtesy of an early Disco I think and the previous owner).
We recently rolled down a hill sideways so we're a bit worse for wear but making a great recovery on both accounts!! (Video in Zip folder, enjoy)
Anyone familiar with Ramjam's BLACK BETTY will understand the name

Expect massive things from this one soon!!

Funny you should say that... when it was pulled over the trolley jack (unsecured in the back) came over the bulk head past where my friends head would have been and punched a dent in the door so I'm glad it didn't... here's the video:

I always get worried when I see people standing too close to tensioned cables.

I think it was dyneema, but you're still right... I was in the wrong place entirely. I learnt A LOT that day especially regarding safety. I nearly killed myself but worse still, I nearly took my brother with me

You should start a thread in the projects section as your repairing it. Everyone likes a rebuild/repair job.

Hi and welcome!

I bet that was an “oh sh1t” moment! But glad you’re okay and the Landy is being put right. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Welcome to the forum

Looks like yer started to turn just after the rear wheel joined the slope. Once they're at an angle on a slope it's easy to roll. Perhaps a bit too much speed anorl. At least yer ok and it's fixable.
