:welcome2: Welcome to LZ, don't get too upset by the gentle and maybe not so gentle ribbing you might get over your Gay I mean Freelander.

After all it is a GreenOval. :high5:

HEY UP! Nice Gaylander!!

Kalahari, is that the one with built in Hairdryer AND Straightener socket?

Griffdowg · Feb 15, 2009

Well he is from landan so does not need a tractor like the rest of us.

did you park it there so you could get out and make sure that puddle wasnt to deep for it to get through ?

goonarmy · Feb 15, 2009

Alright mate.Im sure BoB will be along soon to say a friendly hello!

stuart86 · Feb 15, 2009

Thanks for the welcomes all

I take it the freelander isnt really an accepted land rover here then?

TheVengefulElephant · Feb 15, 2009

what, the Gaylander? Nah we love them! It's just you told us you'd bought a LandRover!

See what I mean. Ya don't need a tratter to be on here, just don't take it to heart.

gotoneatlast · Feb 15, 2009

no the freelander is accepted,
its the inbetweenies driving them that we have trouble coming to terms with.

stuart86 · Feb 15, 2009

Not a problem, Its a nice motor and something different from my motoring past.

Would love to take it off roading even if its not extreme... still only a beginner at this time.

gotoneatlast - How do you mean when you refer to inbetweenies driving it?

TheVengefulElephant · Feb 15, 2009

****inell just spat tea all over my laptop.

Offroading?

In a Gaylander?

gotoneatlast · Feb 15, 2009

have you come across ming, yet,
or BoB, who's thinking(...thats more of a shock actually in itself!...definitely a wind up) of getting one?

they is "in between" reality as i know it.

stuart86 · Feb 15, 2009

I've heard that clearance isnt as great as the disco but they can still manage.

ming/BoB? cant say ive come across them yet.. but im assuming they are freelander owners?

TheVengefulElephant · Feb 15, 2009

please don't tell me its a 1.8 petrol one.

Though why you'd want to take a road car offroad beats me!

Aye, Ming's your one stop shop for all problems and issues gaylander.

BoB's well.. he's BoB.

Now you've probably realised by now that we call them Gaylanders.
That isn't a 'Gay' layby you are parked in is it???

I stayed clear of the petrol freelanders due to serious issues with head gaskets.

Its the diesel TD4 engine.

So off roading in this 4x4 is a big no-no then?
