Good morning all, I've recently picked up a 1977 Series 3 in marine blue and have been advised to sign up here! I've already fitted new leaf springs and removed the roof, I can't stop driving it at the moment!
I know what you mean about not wanting to stop driving, I'm the same with the Disco, but after a year's ownership I'm getting better...ish! A day's laning might persuade you to have a rest!
Local to me - might see you around, let us know if you want to meet.
