Good lad! 👍 I’m currently sat outside in my 110; it’s quietly (😀) ticking over to keep me warm whilst I listen to the radio and have a brew, and post on here....it’s the only place I can get 4G. Incidentally, have just heard a condemnation of the diesel 4x4 on R2; ok for the urban based population but no none as yet has explained what I’m supposed to use for work. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Come on scully your supposed to ride to work on your eco bike grown from knitting yoghurt. David Bellamy said image change is Poppycock. He knew a thing or two. Rip the diesel.out and fit a huge V8 petrol much better for environment.

islandgun Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Love the shogun and being an auto...Im looking for a Landcruiser Amazon as its the biggest car i can find, photo is my Colorado taken yesterday, A dear lady in a discovery decided that going down a steep hill with hairpin bends that 45mph was the correct speed but her car failed to corner in an inch of fresh hail, i swerved to avoid a head on and as you can see she totalled mine and hers as she went offroading for the first time in her life.. note if i had been in my small citroen van i would have been tipped over and done a few rolls down the steep bank This was after the gritter pushed it off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Rav4 is definitely shorter than the Skoda Superb it replaced and has lower emissions than a Ford Focus.

Newbie to this Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Do not accept their first offer. Produce receipts for the money spent on improvements and start looking at prices for similar vehicles to use as proof their offer is a joke.

scouser Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Had a disagreement with the other drivers insurance company over the cost of replacing my surf after it was a written off, they gave me a brand new LWB shogun with 13 miles on the clock until we agreed it’s value, had it for 10 weeks, it went back with 3.5 k on it, bought my surf back and had it repaired myself, we were arguing over a few hundred quid, insurance bloke told me the rental of the shogun cost the other drivers insurance company £7.5 k, so just don,t accept my offer your not happy with. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thanks for the great suggestions folks.... Stumfelter the pics were taken after i had applied filler, it was a real mess before..😄 . 36 minutes ago, old'un said: Blimey Steve, miles of empty country roads and you find a Discovery to have an argument with, hope you are ok, did that mess your duck flight up? It was indeed a coincidence, lucky for her, as we slowed her up enough to stop her diving into a ravine.. one huge lesson for me is that never go out in a small vehicle as said, we would have rolled/ be pushed down the hill............ the ducks are happy at least😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 4.4 ltr V8 Range Rover for me - the climate changes depending on where I turn the dial, the heated/cooled seats and steering wheel do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
