Martyn has a boat? I thought he was on the wagon? Has he fallen off again?

Maybe his centre of gravity is not quite what it should be?

You're not saying he's fat are you?

Not at all... I have worked extensively to ensure that the overall body mass is concentrated to maintain a superb centre of gravity - all in the middle, obviously ;-)

Martyn

C'mon now - I kept the effing thing afloat for a whole week. Dog, Missus, sister and brother-in-law and 6 month old nephew all managed to get away without a ducking - although to be honest, I did nearly make my sister 'walk the plank'...

Martyn

Well he didn't respond to your replies to his adverts, did he?!

Any normal ISP, like Demon et.al would immediately delete a site such as

*that* site from it's servers. It's only because of *who* is running part of Solis that this has not happened and why my objections to the likes of snipped-for-privacy@solis.co.uk have gone ignored. Hence my feelings about Solis content being highly questionable.

I beg your pardon? I have provided and assisted with, quite a lot of research into the history of Land Rover and answered several other NG topics in the recent past, AND contributed to magazines over the years. Is this your usual reaction to someone who admittedly is not an "off-roader" or who is lucky enough to be able to own and cherish a new vehicle? Jealousy?

There are others who can back me up on this fact!

Wait and see how my new website develops!

I have stuck to all agreements where practical. You don't seriously believe everything Martyn says either, do you? More fool you if so.

As a matter of fact, yes I have. I said at the time I was disgusted by what had happened and that it would not happen again. And through what is happening with the issue of probation, everything is being addressed, let me assure you of that. In fact my probation officer (himself a Land Rover fan as it happens) has been extremely supportive through all of this.

My mental state is perfectly fine. I'll admit that Asperger's makes life a bit more difficult for me, especially when I'm being harassed and bullied, but that's nothing new. I would suggest you go away and learn more about Asperger's, and I still reckon that a lot of people on this NG actually have it as well!

Oh, and by the way Mr Hobbs, you could put a seperator onto your sig file - it would make it a lot easier to reply to your postings. I believe the code is -- with a space after the two hash marks.

I gather he spent a week on a canal boat after being at Peterborough, but I may be mistaken.

Yes - we had a discussion by email shortly after my postings.

Why? It contains nothing that would breach their terms and conditions.

You forgot to respond to (a).

Had plenty of new vehicles thanks, and have one now. I must have missed all your useful posts and contributions...

I'm damp with anticipation.

Except, of course, for the recent incident I quoted.

Erm, 'what happened'? Do you mean 'what you did'? It didn't just happen, it was a criminal act, committed by yourself. Everyone else is disgusted by what happened, you should be ashamed of what you did.

I know plenty about Aspergers and autism. And none of the autistic people I know are on the Sex Offenders Register.

I could.

Yes, well if he has to use the feminine version of the name it's not surprising we get a little confused sometimes. I apologise.

Don't start me off on a list of things it contains that would break AUP's of other ISP's. We'd be here for some considerable length of time!

Feel free. As an ISP of sorts myself I'd be fascinated to know. I'd be happy to host the site on our servers, as it contains nothing more than references to other posted material and factual statements which the author seems more than capable of backing up.

You could, of course, take legal action, rather than just continually threatening to do so. I wonder why you don't?

What about those funny axles with the drop box which drops the hubs to a few inches below the axle... Somebody remind me what they're called! The side effect is that the vehicle runs backwards unless you use special diffs. Two wrongs would make a right.

David

I told you both to shut the f*ck up on this subject, and I'm not agreeing or taking sides with either of you.

Now shut up.

well, if by some miracle I find the money, I'll let you know...

portal axles. mucho ground clearance but not to good for the CoG.

Am awaiting the outcome of the current police investigation into allegations of harassment committed by Mr Bailey at present. Depending on what action they take, I'll decide then what my next step will be.

well said Alex

Mmmmmmm..... with wide enough tyres you'd be OK...

Why do most big-tyre conversions go for raised body and not portal axles?

If anybody has a spare set and wants to donate them to my Disco, that would be quite acceptable. But what I'd really like is some of these:

know how much they cost? And are they in any way usable on tarmac? David.

Do a search on portal axles, a volvo has them:

and there is a page out there where a guy has put them on his 109.

And impressive it looks too
