Announcing the UNofficial Welsh meet for 101 and other Landies

so steve Taylor was, like...

Well done that man. We'll be there.

I might blag a lift from someone. I suspect that by then I'll be devoid of LR products. Unless of course I find a nice tax-exempt project SII or something.

I also am devoid of land rovers, and quite likely to be so for a while...

Regards. Mark.

What you need is a nice 1960 88" on a cut down 109 chassis - SORNed at the moment but running absolutely fine when She Who Used To Have To Be Obeyed buggered off a couple of years ago. It's got a nice sunroof, DeLuxe seats and 2¼ Petrol out of a 90.............. and it's painted Leopard Skin (so parking outside handbag shops can lead to hours of searching)

Richard

I DARE one of you to turn up in that.

Actually, I rather fancy a lightweight. But you don't see many of those tax exempt, so that's a non-starter.

A series II would fit the bill, or perhaps a IIA. It'd have to cost next-to-nothing though. Don't mind iffy chassis or body, I can repair the former and ignore the latter. It'd be nice if it was in reasonable mechanical order, though.

Not yet though, gotta get the finances a bit better organised first.

forgot to say that 2¼ petrol would be the preferred engine.

Seen a few S2 lightweights around and IIRC all S2's are tax exampt.

Regards. Mark.

I would have thought we will be there, may be able to come in the "ahem" new truck.

Graham

I might be in the Series, might be in the Disco, depending on health of former. Keep trying to phone them, but no reply.

hehe. I might blag a lift from someone and bring me tent with me. Or I could blag a lift for the actual activities. I don;t doubt someone will have a spare seat or so.

I think they're few and far between though. Hunting a dead-through-rust SII or SIIA is probably the best bet. Last time I did that it cost me 60 quid, plus about 250 for the garage to weld up the chassis. This time, I'll have the ability and equipment to repair the chassis meself... it's tracking down the vehicle that's potentially the hard bit.

I suggest the deposit, as it makes it more painful to change your mind, and better, "but love, I've paid the deposit, we've got to go...."

Steve

I'd like to come - this should be enough early warning for me too!.

Hopefully in the 101 which i should have been able to have actually done something too by then! Hopefully i will be able to sport a garish paint job that will make me blend right in! :)

Do we actually need to pay the deposit or will just turning up be sufficient? I can't see it being that busy this weekend?

I don't generally take Grumble off road these days, unless we're camped up and I can take the kitchen unit and fridge out.

Take a look at the unofficial Northern events pics (erm, and vids), you'll see it's just as much fun hitching a lift with someone else and wielding a camera :-)

Bring both :-)

ISTR it being played several times at Eastnor, on the big screen, to universal amusement.
