HI All,
Finally! The car of my dreams has arrived. I picked up Doife (if you do the Gaelic pronunciation you'll get it!) last weekend.
Doife's a 58 plate 90 TDCi XS station wagon. That'll be Doife, me and our boys in my avatar.
The first bit of spannering was completed on Sunday morning when the back seats came out and I measured for the drawer system, now ordered from Masai. I be using the car for all sorts including walking, training and working the dogs, rough/walked up/driven game shooting and pigeoning and generally having fun on- (well, not much fun) and off-road (LOADS of fun!).
We already have a 12 plate Disco 4 XS which is a great car (SWMBO normally drives it) but it doesn't put that HUGE grin on your face as a 90 does! So we are officially now a fully Landy family.
I've been lurking for a while now and you seem like a good bunch. I like the ''level'' of humour here - a decent amount of p*ss taking and banter balanced with sensible help and advice.
On the matter of waving, as an ex-(proper 1969 plate) Beetle owner, I was looking forward to getting back into a ''Club''. Well blow me, I'd not gone 3 minutes from picking the car up, a 110 coming the other way gives me a wave. I managed to return it in good order I'm happy to report!
If you live in the Chichester/Arundel area, get those hands moving! And I don't mean giving me the beans!
Anyway, that's enough from me for now, I look forward to much larks!
Pete
