Should be on the shelf now

Cover intro, and four pages about my two hippos

So proud of it

GrumpyGel · Nov 17, 2015

They look fantastic in that 'mood' lighting

Andywithlandys · Nov 17, 2015

Mega! That's me buying the mag for the first time tomorrow. Top job.

£45k to restore 2 gaylanders?

I mean.........really?

I doubt even @Hippo is that stupid.

Winu · Nov 17, 2015

Yep, really. Including bought cost of base car

But you could have a gaylander, a defender, a disco and more holidays than the Queen for that amount of money.

Winu · Nov 17, 2015

But with those i got 7 yrs of great fun and learning

Now wondering what choose next - Series IIA /III or Defender 90 NAS

Andywithlandys · Nov 17, 2015

Go for series III i have one along with my freelander and would be great seeing what you do to one of them.

f** oft.
I would never spend that much modding a car.
£30k on a new one is justifiable.

Winu · Nov 18, 2015

Don't like new cars

Exactly my point.
You'd get a new un fer £30k and I'd bet that you'd spend the other £15k on a tratter.

45k on 2 freelenders, blimey winu!! you must be mad lol. I promised I wouldn't go over 4.5k buying mine and modding it ... i got to 4k then decided to buy a disco 2.

Good stuff though mate, i will have to be a traitor now and buy the mag.

Unfortunately they don't make new ones anymore but there's still 1 year old versions on low miles from main dealers. These are prepped to a high standard and look as new but with 1 previous owner and low miles. that's the closet yer can get to a new one. I have to confess I wouldn't buy a tratter and certainly wouldn't spend £15k on one. The thought of watching me money evaporate as the rust worm eats it is a terrifying thought. £50k is a lot to spend on doing 2 cars up but it's his money and if it keeps him happy and Freelandering then good for him.

Re you 5 door: you fitted Robinson springs to Monroe shocks. Did those springs give you much of a lift or have you fitted a lift kit from Simon as well?

Winu · Nov 18, 2015

Nope, no spacers. Spring + new shock give 40mm + 205/80/16 wheels. So we got abut 55 mm lift

Not my cuppa, but wtf, it's his money, so it doesn't need justifying other than 'he can and did' ...

Nicely done by the looks too ..

Hippo · Nov 18, 2015

Who took the photo of them lit up in the dark?
Just wondering.

GrumpyGel · Nov 19, 2015

Winu did put some photos up a while back of the photo shoot.
