    P38 off road

    Thanks for all your help so far guys. I have got the factory build towing point at the front but assume this is not strong enough and a swan neck towbar at the rear and I guess that might do the job?

    Owned my 97 HSE for about 6 months now and thanks to this forum have sorted all the niggly problems with EAS,HEVAC,A/C etc etc so the old girl is as about as well behaved as she ever will. Thoughts turn to using some off her off road capabilities and initially a bit of greenlaning. Read all...

    Come on guys let's not start to take one another too seriously or we are in danger of falling in the nerdy camp. We all own our P38s for whatever reason pure joy or masochism. All I have ever had from this site is help when I have needed it let's keep it that way

    I love my Rangie

    Took my old girl Rosie ( 97 4.6 HSE) out for a spin today looking for some fun and found a steep one lane track covered in sheet ice so up we went in high box nice and steady thought I might at least have to stop and use the low box but no bit disappointed actually. Got up to the main road and...

    You blokes sound so bloody childish I am embarrassed to be on the same forum when you don't have the common courtesy to think of others feelings.
