inbetween landys :(

Hi All,

Just joined, so thought I'd say Hi!

I'm a bit of a hobby farmer, and also work in IT.

I used to have a toyota 4runner, but if something broke, I couldn't drive it out of the garage for less than a grand!

Then I saw the light and bought a '92 200tdi defender 110, ex severn trent water, commercial hard-top. Best 4x4 by far

Sadly I had to change jobs and give up my rented land and sheep in 2008, and had to swap the landy for an economical saloon for my new 1.5 hour commute!

anyway, now i have halved the commute, and plans are afoot to get back some land and sheep... and of course, a landy!

Defenders are also the perfect cure for my road rage... my saab 93 is not!

the next 12 months are going to be taken up with me decided:... if and how i can afford a landy... whether it will be a range rover or a defender... and if i can afford to replace the engine and chassis/bulkhead with a dihatsu 2.8td and galv parts...

fingers crossed, and safe driving.

Get a monster V8 beast and run it on crack...

Cheers for the welcomes chaps.

Having read through this site A LOT today, I think I may have been correct with my original landrover wishlist - before I started flirting with this flash comfy range rover thing!

landrover defender
200tdi engine (most economical and easiest to fix I understand)
110
county shell which I can convert to double cab + hard-top... but not one of those ifor williams jobs, I want it to be like a proper 110 hard-top but with 4 side doors.
then probably a 2" lift and some serious tarting inside. it'll be a range-defender inside!

there we go... anyone wanna sell me that for £500? no, thought not... shopping starts here...

Welcome on board chap
