scruff Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Greetings from a long-time Autoshite lurker. After very many belly laughs and exclaiming to my girlfriend, "my mum/dad/nan/teacher/barber had one of those!!" while reading this place, I thought I'd register and join in. I'm a Land Rover man through and through, the older and tattier the better. I've had 14 so far , but this one has been with me for years now and I'll never sell it. 1964 Series IIA, been gradually built up to a solid state as it was a daily driver for four years, but looks a bit shite really. It had a 3.5 V8 from a SD1 which was GR8 for brown pants, but it was shagged so when I found a low miles 3.5 from a crashed London Ambulance Service LDV - in it went! I've spent a effing fortune on it (as you do) but it's a good friend. We took it to France last year and it didn't miss a beat. It's been in bits for a few months while a mate rebuilt the bulkhead and I attempt to fit a new loom. But it looks like this - The love of shit old Brum-built tin has rubbed off on my better half, who after killing her W reg Clio bought this. Apologies for the snow-themed shots!! With the oldies down south we have two Range Rovers, another Series IIA that my mum drives daily, an Austin A50 Cambridge and a Maestro camper of all things... Anyway that is my long-winded intro...as you were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi and welcome. Your love of tatty old Land Rovers should endear you to Mr Weasel. I like the sound of the Cambridge meself. I think a pic of the Maestro camper is definitely required... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredTransit Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Welcome mate, I am a Ford woman meself, but had a Defender out recently for work and was secretly impressed, so wouldn't say I would never have a landy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
