Just had a bloke in a very nice 110 utility tratter acknowledge me as he drove past, was shocked! More a Landy nod than wave tho
 
More I think about it he might have just been ducking to look out of his window, or be susceptible to involuntary head movements
 
I mean the front of your hippo is kinda Mavis looking after the horses.......

So why would you get any landy love.......... Mine on the other hand looks butch and matcho ( and probably like I am trying too hard )

Yes, we are nice! I said something nice about the freelanderers on the public forum only this morning! I said that you were good at working on your motors cos yu had had so much practice! :pound:

And I never drive over freelanders unless I am really in a hurry! :eek::D
 
See you Defender lot always say we're working on our cars, yet, mine has had very little in the last 2 years, and the number of problems I see people posting about with their Defender compared to my Freelander(S) is massive, so me thinks you lot just like deflecting the attention away from your spannering to make yas feel betterererer :D

Give it time, freelanders aint been around as long as Def. :D

I don't actually have a Defender anyway, mine is a Ninety, although they are almost the same.

I have had mine since 2008, and it has never broken down, although partly that is because I do things when I see they are likely to go wrong, and because I like doing it.

I have had landies since about the mid eighties, and they have all been almost totally reliable, and my own belief is that those who do not find this to be the case are either not maintaining it properly, or they are abusing it!

Modern Freelanders are pretty reliable, but the earliest ones were dreadful :eek:
TBH I gahve nothing against freelanders at all, I just found your thread amusing, seemed a bit similar to the fred, I would just like to say, that Hippo posted in our section :mad: You could be the Trojan Horse of the frellanderers :eek::D

Spannering? I think you mean welding of chassis!
 
There must be some logical reasoning for this head movement. Maybe its one of the reasons already described. Maybe he has Tourettes. Maybe his Freelander was in for a service and he had a crapppy courtesy car.

If he did nod in acknowledgement, you should have got his number plate and named and shamed him. The Landie community would crumble and fall apart if they stopped calling our cars Gaylanders and made snyde remarks about door falling off - or we stopped referring to their Tratters as rust buckets and bone crunchers :)
 
Was a 61 plate 110 utility in stornoway (I think, the lighter of the two) grey, with a big roof rack... Must be a base model as had Van sides with no rear or alpine windows
 
That certainly doesn't seem like a loan vehicle while his freelander was being serviced...

Maybe he has bought somthing from you in the past?
 
Didn't recognise him like, but maybe he has, or maybe he was coming to see me but realised I was heading in the wrong direction, who knows :)
 
I often get waved at by other landy owners maybe they are mistaking mine for a 110.LOL DSC_0484.JPG
