I made a profit on that you cheeky scroatHe doesnt like to let on but he's secretly been eyeing up freelanders for some time. Common to most tratterers he wants one but doesn't want to admit it.
Can't be as bad as his P38 cat d. Sold at a loss to a local small holder who uses it to house chickens.
I thought giving the gist of pm's was frowned upon

I haven't said anything about PM's. We talked on ere before abouting yer desire to own a Freelander. Can't find it at the moment as the search is broke'd. I've been working on converting you for years to become a freelanderer.I made a profit on that you cheeky scroat

Don't bring me into your squirming around realising you just admitted your desire for a Freelander.
Whilst you have been squirming, I have been out having a very pleasurable evening courtesy of my trusty Freelander. Our son is at work this evening so wife, daughter and I jumped in trusty Freelander and it took us to a no notch restaurant for dinner. Yes a 1 course and as many refills of fizzy liquid as you want BK Double Whopper meal - yummy. The Freelander then proceeded to take us to the Isaac Theatre Royal where I deposited wife and daughter for a prestigious gig hosted by Westlife's Brian McFadden and Boyzone's Keith Duffy. On returning home, I had 2 hours of the TV all to myself so watched a couple of episodes of Coast New Zealand. Trusty Freelander was then dialed into action again to retrieve the ladies of the family - this time, mutt enjoyed the journey also.
I can report that the Freelander enjoyed the trips but is rather frustrated at the pathetic condition of Christchurch's roads 7 years after the earthquake. Its still a maze of cones and blocked off bumpy-as roads with big holes being dug in them, made worse tonight by the pouring rain and the equally frustrated guy controlling the peddles getting annoyed at having to double back numerous times and unleashing the super natural power of Rover's L Series diesel engine plant - resulting in lots of noise, smoke and, due to slippery roads, christmas tree lights on the dash stamped "TC".

This may improve the resale value on some of the Land Rover range of vehicles, but I'm afraid it won't for FreelanderI might buy one just to smash it up with a hammer

I can buy a complete discovery cheaper than I can buy a Freelander engineIf it's a K 4 then an engine swap is only a few hours work.
