He bellyied out on the slope after taking the **** out of a disco driver he had just recoved from water. I was sat watching the recovery, then he got stuck. I was then asked to help. His mates wouldn't help, but were happy to take photo's.

1)couldn't afford a real landrover
2)could not afford to run one
3)kerb or car boot field the worse off roading they do.

Heeheehheeeheee!
Aye, ah agree they're ok as a 'car', or at least the 1's were. Never had a go in the 2's tho' so can't really compare.

And that's why they call them 'gay'

We cant travel in deep tractor ruts nor drive through water deep enough to get yr seat wet! So as long as you dont ground out or submerge you should be safe enough

Personally I think some of them pretty tratter boys protest too much

Please make up your minds, is a freelander yes or no a 4x4 as this seems always to be the point of discussion with these tractor boys. If they need a gaylander to rescue them they quote it as a 4x4, when on the flat and they don't risk problems, in other words if they think not going to need any help of the gaylander club, they call it a non-4x4, so what is it after all ???
