Dont get dragged in.
After yesterday's commets on your other fred. I had a look. there seem to be many better spec, better history, lower miles and cheaper (just) but as I didnt know your location so have no idea of distance.

We got ours from Germany,

J

Thank you for looking

I'm literally down the road from that garage. The problem i have is getting around, even going to, say, see one 30 miles away, how do i get there? And back.. at least twice!

Jus by a BIC car mate, use it an bin it when the one you really want comes along.

I've thought about that, but a short term purchase chucks money away, ie buy high sell cheap

They associate wiv wot they want to hear, which is why they like it. The q-anon peeps have convinced peeps to not believe the facts. Tis difficult to appreciate just how stooooopid merkins are.

Well, I can tell you that you need one more "O" to spell that word correctly.

I don't think a freelander is big enough, i want to tow 3 big bikes, in a trailer I've already got. That's around 1.7t, plus all the associated junk i need.. 60L of fuel, tool box, bike clothes etc etc.. used to manage with a bmw estate and only 2 bikes, but it was fully loaded and didn't like the tow even though the weight was much less.
Aside from that i want to do some longer trips away, but still with a car load of junk, room for 3 adult passengers

You gots your bike to go look? and there is plenty of B&B pubs if its a long way

.
To go pick it up loads of options. Plenty of trains and always the meet half way option

.

We flew stayed in an hotel they delivered in the morning, and we drove home simples.

Only solutions here no problems

That's true of course, everything is just such a huge effort at the mo

That is to say.. an hour's bike ride there, 5 min look at a piece of over priced junk then an hour's ride back, isn't something i want to waste my life on

And not doing you much good stressing over it either

.
So take it as an adventure that you dont know the outcome of yet but are enjoying the journey (if that makes sense)

Yes, the problem is i need a car 'today' not in a week or a month.. but yes, i know that's not realistic
Maybe i should hire something for a few days

Yeah, but it's extremely Merkin, so it wouldn't be grokked here.

I had to Google grokked, I'm no wiser tbh

Cheaper to buy a cheap run around something like this 2002 Black London Taxis International Txii for sale for £500 in Diss, Norfolk (autotrader.co.uk)

Although the milage is a little on the high side

It's a Martian word meaning "to drink" or "take in". In common Martian vernacular it means "understand".
Merkin....Martian.....very similar languages. And cultures it seems from the understanding of Merka around here.

Having worked for many years with your fellow countrymen. Nope that is not my understanding, but they need to be got early

You oldies have no chance of changing

Are you saying we're more Plutonian than Martian? If so, you probably worked with Merkins from the east coast.

Coffee for me

My Old Landy · Nov 4, 2022

@Western Slope Rover are you the last American left on the forum? We really don't have a balanced view of the States, as we all have different experiences of your countrymen! I have worked with a few engineers over the years but I still can't get a grasp of how things work over there!

they were from all over, But I will say most have not travelled to another planet they consider they have their own world

.

But when I was there I still dont get the issue with walking 400m to the bar from hotel and back without being told out the window of a car to "get a cab man"

, do your legs not work
