So...

I had to drive various Land Rovers for work over the years and have always regarded them as tools for the job, so to speak. Anyway cutting a long story short, I have just bought a real dog of a Discovery that is absolutely covered in crap - and I mean metalwork not cow poo!

Winch, spring lifter thingies, snorkel, lights all over it with lumping gtrat metal frames on them, diff and tank guards, rock sliders, bush cutter guardy wire things and home-made steel bumpers that a JCB wouldn't argue with... Etc etc.

Anyway, I have pulled some of that stuff off but still intend to use the vehicle for a bit of fun. Then I came across this forum (which looks very good) - except for the posts I found that imply Princetown residents are all related to each other! Which to be honest is really unfair as my uncle Bernard married a girl from Tavistock in 1954 and she wasn't related to him at all!!!:D

Anyway, off to buy a CB for my 'beast' today, I may even buy some new dungarees after my banjo lesson too.


Looking forward to learning more about land rovers from all of you here, no doubt I will have lots of questions as I break bits off my Discovery over the next few weeks....
 
Maybe you can take your wife with you...it's not often a brother and sister get to spend time together without the kids.



Welcome.

I can try being grumpy if it means I will fit in better?:rolleyes:



Can anyone help me with the name of these wheels BTW?

I dunno what you call them, the bloke said they had ball bearings and so didn't need balancing???? That's a new one to me and I am getting a fair amount of shudder.
