Land Rover attract attention

Dave90 · Jul 23, 2011

I was driving out of a car park earlier today when a random bloke came up to my window and said 'nice car pal' and I'd never seen the guy before
What i like is that you wouldnt get that with and modern car
I'm only 18 but i would HATE to drive a ****roen saxo, corsa or any other equivalent piece of ****e
Just shows that speed isnt everything really, and that even a 20 year old land rover turns heads, in my opinion, you may not want to own a land rover, but you have to respect them

How much are you paying for insurance when you are 18?

Couldnt agree more mate, and its nice when you get a friendly wave of a fellow defender owner

not so much disco, freelander or range rover sadly

I'm guessing that's with NFU?

Nope, I'm with Co-operative (not sure how to spell it)

Fully comp on my own name, 1 year NCD = 50% discount
Remember though I live in the middle of nowhere on Anglesey

BIlling was great! Bought myself a Cobra CB so glad to see it will come in handy

Many years ago I was going down the hill from home, and two Japanese tourists were walking across the road, thehey got to the pavement and out came the camea. Somewhere in Japan is a picture of my dearly departed Series 2A truck cab.

Translation into Queens English:

Hi Dave90, I'll give you a wave from my Disco if you're in Bangor or Caernarfon. We're nearly neighbours!

End of translation.
