scrap that - can see you are in swanley! Not a million miles from me. offer stands :)

hi there - sadly mine has been nicked - but i have done a few and would be happy to head out with you and show you the ones i have done. whereabouts are you in kent?

yeah quite possibly. shame the worng vermin got killed! Ah well :(

that is a really interesting way of looking at it - the price of the V8 to purchase is far less, but for that milage, you are right - there isnt much to bother about.

I drove a petrol ambulance one. It was awesome, but not what i wanted! To me the defender is fine, but the heat and noise from it was something else

i took one for a test drive, very loud and noisy, and pretty poor handling on the road. Having looked at their capabilities, they are amazing off road - i suppose it depends what you want. I have visions of overlanding - but the thought of hours upon hours driving it put me right off. You have...

I have dropped him a message. Not that I need to be spending the money mind!!

good shout!

I do love the defender - and would pick it over a range rover - but budget sadly

Ok - now look at what you have done! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1971-RANGE-ROVER-LINCOLN-GREEN-/282188562587?hash=item41b3bfc09b:g:WboAAOSwzaJX4~7S literally the dream!

I did consider a RRC, or the somewhat less sexy (and therefore much cheaper) P38. I would enjoy the classic too much - i think i would be too worried about restoring it and keeping it pretty than actually using it however! I did think about the petrol V8.....but i dont know, the psychology of...

Mmmm, my suspicion that the head should rule the heart is right! I do like the look of the Disco 2, and for the amount it would get used - probably 1000 miles a year it seems silly to tie all that money up in it. I was leaning towards a manual, but i did like the auto D3. I gather that the auto...

it would probably be a 300TDi or TD5. Really wanted 110 again - for the right price i would go for a 90

Ok, so now that the trauma of having my lovely 110 stolen has worked its way out of my system, and having replaced it with the most boring car i have ever owned (Audi estate) i have the land rover bug nagging at me. So here is the question: Do i get a defender or a disco 2? With defender...

chassis bent as it was off roaded and the passenger corner obviously found a ditch or the like. Christ knows why the put a hole in it. Mongoloids.

looking really good! Some nice progress!

Just an update to this. It was eventually found, abandoned in Chatham. Chassis was bent and a hole cut in the roof - have been there for several weeks until a member of the public called it in. Sadly insurance did not pay out enough to replace it. :(

pleased it was found - if i get another after mine was nicked i would get a tracker no doubt

Thank you. So far so good - all new to me really, had a phone interview with some investigations team, I assume to assess if im a scumbag on the make. At least a week until that gets passed on so we shall see what happens - Im most worried about getting a fair price, but i will keep everyone...

Thanks Jamie for the kind offer - sadly not relevant now - some sods have stolen it last night :( Im bloody gutted :(
