Blimey, thats pretty severe lol, not a nice situation to be in on your own for sure !!

At least you got it out eventually tho, rather than losing to the river & joining those other machines eh

Well the old girl has gone! Sold to a guy here in Spain, if he has half the luck I had with the car he will be a very happy man for years to come.

Oh BTW, I just arrived in Spain with a MANUAL Landcruiser 80,

It probably stopped sinking when the front wheels hit the roof of that tractor

The fact that the local authorities knew this could happen and allowed the notices to be removed p*ssed me right off! And being stuck in sunny Spain on a Sunday and during siesta was no joke!

So I fancy some nice easy expedition stuff so need a bigger car and 'Tanque' has to go to make way for the replacement. Probably an early Range Rover or a Landcruiser?

Surely if you're after an expedition vehicle you want a 110 or 130?

Why??? take the back seats out of a Disco and you've got the perfect base for an expedition vehicle. and if it's a 5door getting at gear is a fook of a lot easier than it is in a 110.

Was actually thinking of a CSW 110 rather than a hard-top. Something like the one I've got perhaps?

I wanted a larger vehicle than the Discovery along with something a little more comfortable, the Range Rover/Landcruiser both fitted the bill.
