unless those blokes were on "private" land i'd say they weren't "offroading", more than likely laning, please try to use the correct terminology :doh:

One life, get one.

Most of the lanes we ventured today had a sign saying 'Not Suitable For Motor Vehicles'.
I deem that as 'off road(ing)'.

2 and a 1/4 petrol but 2nd S2a resto may get treated to a bigger doosil. Once they are finished I will invite the rivet counters round.

I'll be heading round in the immaculately restored 1949 Series 1 then

There's a cheap 2 1/4 diesel lump on eBay at the moment.

Where a outs did you all go. Looks like it was fun.

rather stick with the 200tdi these days, cheers though.

Went out errm kinda North from Nuneaton really (so kinda Derbyshire / Leicestershire / probably a few other counties area)

Lanes were all quite relaxing really, nothing taxing, but a good day out (until the drive home)

Yes, we were on lanes all day, but, does it really matter

ok it's anal but misdescription of your activities can come across to the tree hugger/bobble hat brigade as you were tearing the countryside up, i'm just trying to keep things clear so as to reduce the ammo used against us

offroading as a description is an easy slip, my comment wasn't intended to cause any offence

i enjoy both activities with my landrovers, offroading on private legally allowed land and going 'laning on legally allowed tracks

and i'm never one to discourage anyone from getting thier landrovers back in working condition

here's my general all around tool, pay and pray, plus laning


this is my limosine and very gentle laning motor


both 200tdi'd

It amazes me how straight so many series look when they are 'toys' - mine is bent and bumped all over the place

Nice fleet though - and no offence really taken

Water off a ducks back with me too. I suppose you have lanes in England so yes, the guys were laning today. in their trucks and jeeps no doubt.

PS, thats a very smart Land Rover on the ramp. Did it leave the factory with the front wing mirrors or are they an addition?

that blue one since i've owned it has been my daily driver, it's gone from rotten chassis with knackered 2.25 diesel to rebuilt/repaired chassis with 200tdi, 3.54 diffs and para's, i weighed my eurobox in three months after building it and i've now used it almost exclusively for very near three years, it does everything i need of it except keep me warm in winter i've literally sank it in a river, been stuck in deep silt, dropped it in a ditch and it still keeps going (just on it's third gearbox now though )

the grey one i've not long rebuilt, been down to a bare chassis, all rot cut out and replaced, rebuilt bulkhead, started as a 2.25 petrol and now has a 200tdi engine, 300tdi turbo, TD5 intercooler and 3.54 diffs, it is my show car/comfortable limosine it is also expected to earn it's living as and when i need to move stuff so does get loaded and has been used as a towing motor, i just intend to be careful of the panels when laning as it's a nice motor to drive/go out in

the mirrors were on the wings when i bought it, no idea if they are original

p.s.
when i described them as my playthings it's because i actually enjoy driving them even if they are a little more uncomfortable and more tiring than the modern euro things, modern cars are just transport to me and lifeless/soulless so i don't own any
