Landyzone Glossary

How about a thread that explains all the different abbreviations and technical terms used on the forum. If there is one already on the go, I couldn't find it using a search, and would appreciate a link to the thread.
I just think that many people (me included) could use a bit of help understanding some of whats going on between more tech minded members..Rock

Wot like.

TRACTOR = Dirt, oily, smelly, noisey, cowld, rust bucket that always require owners attention and money!

GAYLANDER = plastic wannabe landrover that is a complete pile of ****, often found on the back of a recovery truck

DISCOVERY = Land Rovers half arsed attempt at aerodynamic improvements to TRACTOR

Hippoo = see Gaylander only moreso.

FREELANDER= Clean,comfortable smooth, luxurious, well equipt, rust free, erm! car

90 = Clean,comfortable smooth, luxurious, well equipt, rust free, erm! car, only with attitude, and perhaps a bit mucky and uncomfortabley rough with a minimalistic touch and perhaps a spot of rust here and there. But plenty of attitude.

Attitude = mostly bad, "I wont start" and even if you beat me with a ****ty stick, I'll just chuck oil all ower and steam up yer winders so yer cant see.

No thats character.

breaks. summat to stop yur landy with.





(well it seems so from how peeps spell on here).

which words isit yer strugglin with son

didnt know there was anything goin on between the tech minded members.
i think we should be told, eh?

Sounds like a good idea . Just make up a long alphabetical list of all the words you cant understand and well get back to you. Meanwhile try growing tomatoes on Ailsa Craig.

SERIES - Classic motors, underpowered. Rattle your fillings out!

FREELANDER - Pretend landrover (Daihatsui owners deserve more respect!)

DISCO - Big cumbersome, unlandrover-like "cars". - 1000000 times better than a freelander!

90 - The mutts nuts!

110 - Happy camper!

RANGIE - Comfort at the cost of big fuel bills!

aint it funny how people slate disco's and then when building a hybrid they use a 100 inch chassis, how can the disco be big and cumbersome and the 110 be great,its shorter than a 100. the true defenition of a disco is a happy medium between a defender and a rangie , its got the same running gear and there are plenty done up like a dogs dinner fer off roading. lets be honest if we are explaining things to peopleand as fer the freelander, i suppose given the choice i would rather drive a gaylander than a pile of jap poo
