I've not really made the effort to try and sell it, but I really want another bike!!

Regrettably for sale is my 1985 ex army 90. There has been no expense spared on this vehicle and she is a ready to go off road animal. Selling her only because she just isnt getting used. shes a 3.5L Santana V8 with LT85 Santana "indestructible" gearbox, and 1.22 ratio discovery transfer box for slightly higher gearing in Hi-range. 12 months MOT, 6 months tax. Some of the extras on it include: Heavy duty "C" reg army chassis army style indicators and sidelights. Battery islolator Winch electrics isolator fuel cut off switch 265/75/16 insa turbo special track tyres on silver modular rims terrafirma tubular winch bumper brand new never used 12,000lb champion winch and wander lead upgraded HID headlamps headlamp protectors headless teddy mascot (!) black chequer plating on bonnet and wings RAGE bucket seats 6x9" speakers and a good sony stereo (The subwoofer in the photos is NOT included in the sale) CB radio tubular rock and tree sliders nato hitch britpart +2" shock absorbers terrafirma +2" lift springs terrafirma tubular shock turrets terrafirma hook type dislocation cones heavy duty double cranked reinforced trailing arms rear bumperettes side exit exhaust I have receipts for when the gearbox was given a check over by a time served land rover technician in 2011 (lay shaft bearing replaced), reciepts for when the clutch was replaced in 2012, and for the radiator re-core in 2011. There is no rust on the chassis/underneath, only a very tiny spot on the bulkhead by the drivers door but this is only surface rust and welcome to any inspection. I will also throw in all the spares Ive kept here for this vehicle: 2x replacement heads, transfer box, 2x 10 spline diffs, water pump, oil pump and god only knows what else. Bad bits: Windscreen is cracked on the passenger side - does not affect drivers vision whatsoever she uses a bit of water (as alot of V8s do) Steering box leaks fluid but a replacement is included in the sale - I just havent had time to fit it I have spent thousands on this vehicle, I will not let it go for peanuts so please do not ask. You are getting ALOT of landrover for your money! £3000 or straight swap for a tidy Honda 600RR Location: ebbw vale, South Wales

All the farriers I've ever known weigh them in!

I've got one in the lorry. Got some amazing footage of the wine regions in italy, places trucks really shouldn't go!

Pic?

No. It's all a big load of ********!!

Especially when someone else writes "she is" underneath it!!

V8 LR defender 90. No idea what the fuel consumption is. But it's a lot.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!

M50

Bought a satnav (2nd hand) off a bloke on here. It doesn't work. He told me to send it back to tomtom. There's plenty of idiots about!

Well mine does 57mph (92kmh) and over the average week of 2500/3000km, the half an hour/45mins saved could mean the difference between making the final delivery or not, and hence being able to get home, or havin to stay out for the weekend and tip it Monday, or whatever Absolutely no way on gods earth would I sit behind a 50mph truck for hours or days on end, I'd crack up!

People who buy £2 of petrol and pay with their card (yes I've seen it happen!)

Having a license doesn't make you a driver. Especially if you work for tescos

I think you missed my point!

Only on PW can you ask for advice on summer rape, and not get judged, a restraining order, or arrested!!

Where in Germany are they banned off the road during those hours? An yeah, ban trucks off the roads in the daytime... Good idea! You will soon be crying when your local gun shop runs out of cartridges because they are only open 9-5!

When you're driving up to 500 miles a DAY, for 6 days a week, that half a mile an hour can make a lot of difference!

Will it matter when you're dead?!

Leave it in the shed. You'll never use it!

Why do we do it? Because we can

I'd be up for getting naked!

I wish!! I live in my lorry, am away for anything between 4 and 12 weeks at a time. Live with my mam for the 1 or 2 days that I'm home. She doesn't have a mortgage, and doesn't charge me any rent!

Next to Nothing £1k a year tops!!

You ought to do the cbt before your theory. Some people like the 'idea' of riding a bike, but when it actually comes down to getting on 2 wheels, many find that it isn't really for them, by which time youll have wasted money doing a theory test!
