Hirsty's not long now

Hi all, I joined this newsgroup about 9 years ago if I remember rightly. I have had many a laugh at the entries, very much advice and help. I have now sadly to get rid of the Defender ( thanks to Ken and his LEZ for London ), and family has grown up. Daughter from 11 year old pupil to Graduate Nurse and the 5 boys getting bigger as well/ Police / Mechanical Engineer etc. I have on order a mazda 3 MPS ( to compete with son's supercharged Fiesta ST !!! )



Like to thank Nige for his forthright views and common sense and all the others that I have known and contacted over the years, Incidnetallt if anybody is colse to Sidcup in Kent and wants 4 Jerry cans for diesel ( no diesel sorry folks )/ Dixon Bate drop bar ( almost new )/ couple sdiesteps. Be my guest, but you pick em up !! I am going to miss the Defender and the real camraderie here. ( I have a feeling I may just get a new one when the mid life crisis is over :-))) ).



THANKS TO ON AND ALL AND THE BEST BUNCH GOING



John H Kent



Defender 110


Sorry to hear that the policy of envy has forced the sale of your defender I hope he chokes on a Prius which is far less enviromentally friendly than the landrover which will outlive it by a factor of 3 or more. Derek

This is not goodbye...

You will be back.

You will one day get the urge, and get another.

Deep down you know it already!

Seconded; and even if you no longer have the Defender there's no reason not to contribute.

Best of luck. :-)

Land Rovers are much more than just transport. They're a state of mind, and more addictive than Crystal Meth (probably). I've said goodbye to them more times than I care to remember, but within months there is this strange urge to go and buy another one, an urge that seems to empty the bank account and fill the driveway with 2 tons of steel, rust and aluminium.

You'll be back.

Don't be a pillock. I am semi-retired from Land Rovership at the moment (daily driver a Ducati, caravan tug a F*rd, and a S2a on the drive STILL waiting to be fixed), but I haven't left this group. There is less of direct interest these days, but the characters are the same, the entertainment is good and the atmosphere is still cool and hassle-free. AFL is still one of my "download all messages" groups, and will be for a long time I suspect.

Don't leave John, just continue the fun!

I'd be interested in the drop bar if it's still going but I'm not sure when I'll next be in the area.

I'll store the other stuff along with the series gearbox (Tom's still??) and 110 power steering bits if anyone wants me to.

Luckily my 110 is lpg or I'd not venture into London with it either.
