Must be awful. I'm careful too. And still no beard to get caught in anything! Missing my Range Rover

Is it not still outside so no need to miss?

Pedant. Accurate tho as when I 'parked' him I knew as I braked he would stall, so he's in the parking bay impressively straight considering I kind of threw him in there, but wheels are turned so form an obstacle in their own right. Will resolve when, like so many thing, I can be arsed.

He will be fine, just having a little rest

I used to drive a raised Classic 3.5 auto in Land Rover trials, and had another lowered 1" on Scorpion suspension for the road. Sold one other stolen; bought first P38 abroad. Then had a break, then a few Classics. I hadn't had a RR for a while when I met this one.
A guy down the road has a Classic; as I walk past it, all I can think is, 'How did I think they were enormous? They are SO SMALL!!'

Always had 90s. Last one got stolen - then returned Engine kaput and chassis rotten so sold. Went without Landy for a while until I fell in love with my P38. I’m happy again now can’t be coincidence

I could never have 90s; I have elbows.
Well, stick 'em out of the window like the rest of us do.

Rains just as much inside with window up so may aswell keep it open for your elbow
It is my shoulder I had issues with. Had to drive on the twist.

Only after I stopped driving it I realised how much it put my back out. Always the one shoulder
no such discomfort in the p38

Up? Don't you mean across?
I've done just over 100,000 miles in my Defender since I got it and I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's perfectly comfortable. The most I've done in a day is 700 miles, and the only thing that's wrong with me at the end of it is the sole of my foot is numb where I've been pressing on the accelerator.

OK P38 owners, before you get started, please don't pull Brown's chain, leg or whatever. I've also been on long almost-comfortable journeys in a Defender. Let's not get side-tracked into handbags at dawn and subvert the thread just 'cos someone took a wrong turn and got the hump. Please. Play nice.
I didn't intend to be provocative, I'm just saying it's perfectly possible to be comfortable on long journeys in a Defender.
Anyway, how's the gearbox? Any news yet?
