OK. So, I'm a 'bit' late introducing myself.
Long time lurker I think is the phrase.
It was with horror that I realised I've been a member since 2010, and apparently haven't made a single post?
Now, I acknowledge being a bit taciturn, but 7 years!! Even I have to admit that's a bit shocking.
Anyway...
In years gone by, I've had Range Rovers (All Classic V8's, but one turned into an Isuzu 2.8 TD)
S2/2a's (Mostly petrol)
90's (Petrol and N/A Diesel)
The 2.25 S2a was the one that made me grin every time I drove it.
The early (2 door) V8 RRC's were the nicest to drive in the summer - big windows, and quarter lights - which were brilliant for wind deflection.
Biggest disappointment was the NA 90. It was Soooooooooo slow and loud. It also had a rust problem with a rear hanger, that, when trying to find something solid to weld to, caused me to manufacture a chassis all the way forwards to the gearbox mounts!
Currently I have a 1994 V8 softdash RRC on LPG. It is currently sat on the drive with terminal rot, waiting for me to rescue it (Or scrap it).
I'd really like to get back to a 2a, but prices seem to have gone through the roof, so there's little hope of that happening any time soon.
Unless of course someone with a rotten 2a wants to swap for a rotten RRC
