pavman Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Browning welcome to the mans truck club, dont listen to girls, you will be more than happy as long as you did your homework and have time to tinker now and again. Gave me lots of pride to pull a hi lux out the mud over xmas, and he still had his boat hitched! narf narf pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno 357 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) Wish I had a £ for everytime someone posted they on here, they had pulled another 4x4( which incidentally isn't a defender) out of the mud/field/ditch/tesco's carpark with a defender :thumbs: Jonno Edited January 6, 2006 by jonno 357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 What would you have? 2 quid? Hehehehehe I love landys and an early 90 would be heaven for me. But then I do like to take things apart and fix things and I have never turned down a chance to weld anything either! If I could afford one and justify one, I'd get one, then spend my weekends under it avoiding doing work on the house! Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 What is the furthest anyone drives in Landies? I used to have Lotus 7 and although it still is the best car I have ever had and it was a bloddy nightmare to do long journies in. I drove to Mallory Park to do a sprint in it once and had a headache for about 24 hours after :wacko: I see people like Rick Stein, Huw Fearnly Wittingstall and other bloke that did the tour of the UK in Landies, one minute in Scotland the next in Cornwall and I am convinced they get them trailored from one place to the next and them do the last bit 'to camera' :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 i had a lwb landy years ago,the drive was like sliding down stairs on my bum,the comfort was like a deck chair in a carry on film,the heating was like a good day at iceland,the noise was like a million bee,s buzzy around my head so thinking back with great fondness of my early days ive decided to keep my jap 4x4 like all my other jap cars itsgot heating smooth ride comfort styling finness and yes it has pulled a landy out of the mud :thumbs: :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 What is the furthest anyone drives in Landies? I have an Audi A 3 on an 05 plate, and if I drive more than 50 miles it's ****e, hard suspension low to the ground blah blah, my Defender 90 is 16 years old and in good nick and I can drive it all day black top or field and still be fine, Its a man thing, like yorkies and not for girls :thumbs: :wacko: :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I wouldnt worry, they may be basic, noisy, uncomfortable and prone to making you spend hours thumbing a Haynes manual but.... They're bloody good fun, go anywhere and a way of life, best of all they're British. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white fox Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 What is the furthest anyone drives in Landies? I take my '85 C-plate 110 all over the country for my work, some 20K+ miles each year for the last 3 years. Previous to that I did the same in my old SIII, that one is still working pulling a sankey trailer full of logs for a local tree surgeon.
