This week was the Ford Escort Mexico, looks like next week is Land Rover - got it set to record :D

Sounds good - fingers crossed for the MOT :)

It is indeed :-D

Thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon! Thanks for showing me the lanes Steve - I am now a green lane addict :-D Next on my shopping list is a CB radio, and if the MOT gods are in a good mood next week I'll be out again! Cheers :)

Cool, thanks

Or drive over it if you're feeling lazy :D

Sounds good, what's the plan then?

Hi Steve, name's Jonathan. No CB fitted yet but it's on the to do list - I'll PM you my mobile number :)

Sweet :cool:

Hi mate that sounds awesome, thanks! Lemme know a time and a place and I'll be there :D I saw the sunday trip but sadly I'm pre booked :( looking forward to this one though :)

Howdy All, Are there any greenlaning trips going on this weekend that a newbie can tag along with? If not does anybody fancy starting one? I've been greenlaning before as a passenger but I finally have my own Landy and I'm dying to get the wheels dirty on my 88" before it's MOT next week :D I...

Looks fun, can't wait to get mine out on a trip like that :D

Haha, I also ride a bike and know from experience that a bee to the neck/face at speed hurts!

Yeah I think I'm gonna have to keep the roof removable :D I have a plan though - I'll put all the electrical gubbins in the roof (CB, stereo, speakers, aerials etc) and then just run a live cable up there with a plug/connector - then the whole lot can come off :D

Yeah I figured as much, using common sense an all - but the law doesn't always use common sense :D Anyway I did a bit more googling and it seems to be legal so long as your number plate and lights are visible and nothing can fall out - the confusion seems to come from cars where the plate and...

Haha only if you fold the windscreen down too :D

Sadly I ain't got a garage for either Landy or roof so it can only come off on guaranteed sunny days, then goes back on at night - soggy seats aren't for me :p On a side note, does anybody know the legality of driving without a rear door/tailgate? Obviously having nothing in the back to fall...

You've gotta try it - next sunny day/weekend that you get a chance! It's made me rethink my rebuild plans, I was going to keep the hardtop, fit 1 piece door seals, carpet the roof and fit a CB, stereo and speakers up there - but then I wouldn't be able to take the roof off... Careful though...

It took me long enough to undo all the bolts for the roof - seriously how many are needed?! Land Rover could have halved their production costs just by using a reasonable number of bolts :D The windscreen will be down for the next trip - I need to get a tail gate too...

It all started with an attempt to paint the cappings, you can see the right hand capping in the pics above is fresh silver while the left hand is flaky old black paint. I decided to take the side off to paint the capping properly, plan was to do one side at a time: Check out my custom new...
