Happened to be passing a LR dealer this afternoon, so we called in.

Sat in a Disco 3 and a RR Sport.

You can smell the money, can't you?

Your Max does that too? So does ours. Wouldn't like to let him in the
back of that Rangie afterwards. To be honest, I don't like letting him
in the back of the Defender when he's done that, but the RSPCA object to
him running behind. )

Couldn't you fit him with a set of doggie rollerskates or something?
Failing that, tie him to the roofrack.

How about some CB mag-mounts on his feet, you could clip him on the
side then, dashing along with his tongue hanging out!

I tried a Magmount on my landrover, but i had to take it back to the
shop as it was faulty - it kept falling off.

I followed a big RV thing along the motorway last summer. He had a
little tiny dog trailer on the back of it. It was basically like a
little box with small air holes at the top with 2 wheels on.

I dont think i'd want to put an animal in one.

It's only the Defender and earlier ones that it won't work on, Disco
etc are magnetic. Err, in fact I'm only sure about the Disco and am
assuming the rangies are!

Anyhow, even with the Defender you could clip him on underneath, two
paws on one chassis rail, the other two paws on the other. Simple!

Then there's the steel modulars...

If it's not made of ally and isn't on leaf springs, it isn't a Land
Rover.

An RV? What's that, isn't it one of those remotely controlled
submarine things they send down to the titanic?

Me neither, unless it was a fish. Or a small yappy dog.

Hmmmm,

Best keep quiet about my proposed purchase then. Suffice is to say it has a
black badge, isn't a pre-19whenever they went green, and it's not one of
those bloody footballers cars either (Range Rover Ripoff cheap crappy Sport)

He'll roll in whatever he judges to be the worst smelling of stuff. A
dead fish in Leamington led to a very uncomfortable drive back to
Sheffield after the 101 club AGM last November.

American camper van (such as at http://www.rvusa.com/ ). Like an
english camper van but twice as big!

I doublt it would be yappy for long after being in one of them. It
must be pretty scary being dragged along the motorway in a small
woolden box at 60+ mph
