***delurk*** We had one as a courtesy car when our brand new Defender shed half its load of diesel across several miles and the rest on our drive. I think on reflection I should have kept the Defender as it was and just waited at the dealer for them to decide there was nothing wrong. Kept banging my blooming head on the A pillar and roof every time I got in or out. Wallowed a bit. Very comfy and pretty once I was in though. Just wouldn't care to take it off road (I know, I know, I've read all the magazines, but I just wouldn't feel as safe...) I once in my misguided youth considered a Suzuki Vitara. Reminded me a bit of that.

Quite, I sat in one when looking at Land Rovers, my head was more or less touching the roof, at most 2" clearance, decent bump on the road and I'd bang my head. The headlining came down so low that it felt like wearing a baseball cap with the peek turned down. Got a Disco II instead, much better. B-)

You have come into a settled, developed community and not understood the culture and ethos. There are lots of people who could have helped but a little alienation goes a long way.

That may well be true, which makes it all the more suprising that you don't fit in well.

Oh, the irony!

From a chap who wants to cover his Freelander in shiny bits.

My Freelander is covered in mud.

Frightening to think that the Freelaners has similar dimensions to the original Range Rover, isn't it!

So? Sod off and complain to SWGAF. Landrovers are meant to be covered in mud not chrome.

A shiny Freelander to go with your hairdresser's sports car. Chavtastic.

I have to say I'm extremely disappointed in the attitude displayed towards this person who is clearly a recent convert to Land Rovers. Telling him to Sod Off is no way to behave. If this was uk.rec.motorcyles they would have invited him in and warmly welcomed him with cheerful good humour and bonhomie. Admittedly he would have been trussed up, tarred and feathered by suppertime but they do it so charmingly

But now he has been scared off back to his home brewing, could have had some mileage out of him, it's been a bit quiet since APL. Need more fresh meat.

I was being polite. Sorry, it won't happen again. (Politeness that is)

Now I know you're taking the piss.

Right.

But no more top posting, grammar free, bling obsessed, shift key blind illiterates, please.

Speaking of Bling... one amazing Hummer H2 up in Chester services the other week, Black, blacked-out windows, 22" chrome wheels... sort of the epitome of Bling.

Can't possibly beat the 80 foot long streched Porsche Cayenne I have seen round these parts.

Truly horrific.

Landrover 110 County Station Wagon (Tyson)

'"They called him Jimmy the gent"

these parts.

I saw a streched H2 not far from your place Nige, fecking ugly hting if you ask me...

Regards. Mark.

Ah, not thisun then...

I wasn't impressed by the couple of Range Rovers backing to the pitch access tunnel at St James's Park on Sunday. Black or very dark with "security" glassware. The round things in the corners (I hesitate to call them wheels) where multi-spoked bits of alloy, with a skim of rubber on the outside edge. The rims must have been the best part of

30" dia, tyre sidewalls around 2". Looked very silly but at least they didn't have those silly hub attachments that either don't rotate as you drive along or continue to rotate after you've stopped. Saw that on some motors at Man. U. the other week. Too much, much too much, money, especially at Man U.

BTW, football holds little interest for me. I was only at those grounds because I was being paid to be there.

Iv'e told the wife to only drive it at weekends!!
