    Struggling Guys!!!!!!

    I've been chatting to the owner of this and i went and test drove one at the weekend

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Def...item43a33e413d


    I'm considering seeing what the bank man says.......and getting one!

    Its the 4lt V8 Auto on LPG and although its a little less comfortable and fast as the Isuzu i have a soft spot for it. Especially since i dont like the look of the Discovery with the same engine and the rangerover with the same engine has too many electrics and sensors to take off road and/or maintain...... However, believe it or not they are both cheaper!

    The back seat/seats in that thing are AWESOME!!! I don't know why but if I had the funds I'd buy it just for that!

    The rest of the truck is pretty bad arse looking as well.

    JAMES!! DOOOO ETTTTT!!!! That's an awesome one!
    Love all the details, the blacked rims are cool too. Way cooler looking than our Coniston green one. When did they put the stereo in the dash or is that a mod??? I see a little cubby tray when the stereo used to be, much more useful!
    But ya do need to paint that roof back to white and then add a great big Brownchurch roof rack!

    ^^ hahahahahahahahah


    OK GUYS


    So i .................erm...................may have just done some thing a bit irrational (sp?) i decided that i cant take a bank loan and that the VX has run out of MOT so cant be driven legally until it has one. Therefore the land rover (which i would need to have the window open to allow my shoulder to stick out from Nick) is out the window.


    Im travelling half the country tomorrow to pick up this as a winter Hack whilst i sort the VX

    So this is the sound track...............one of the finsest sounds of the 20th century.....The Rover V8

    So what is MOT and how do you get more of it?

    is that like a secret British mojo? Sounds like something Austin Powers (A true representation of British people) would know about!

    I'm pretty sure that's the same thing as our inspection sticker Bob.

    James I'm sorry to see that you couldn't pick up that Defender, that thing was sweet! But what you did end up with is nice, although I'm sure it won't get the same "wows" as the Defender or VX. But you can always get one later right?
