I went out to Gembrook on the weekend and had a ball, I managed to show the Cruiser boys a few things and towed them out three times but then slipped sideways into a bog hole.

It is indeed! Its 12/94 sold 1995. At the end of the day its a $6,000 car plus a bit of mud won't hurt.

Ahh.....Spoken like a true newbie.

That mud hole more closely resembles Grinding Paste.
Your Rangy will probably start leaking oil in a couple of weeks time.

I wouldn't take my 20 year old banger anywhere near that crap.

How you manage to get it sideways? Looks like the stuff we get here in Tassie. Very harsh on the drivetrain.

Boy when you say stuck you mean STUCK don't you ! Half stranded and the other half underwater !

I love mud but that's why I have a Deefer - I;d never have taken my rangie any where near that. I;m glad you are getting in amongst it... the main thing is if you are enjoying it then good on you !

It may be a 6k car but youll never replace it:(
It will stuff it in time.;)

I guess its no worse than mud bashing a P38. Only difference is they're easier to replace:D

On a lighter note you sure got it crossed up in that sty!

Thats what I call STUCK IN THE MUD.

What you have there is a classic, wish I had it, I would put it on blocks and in ten years it will be even more desireable.
Thats just me though.

Happy driving mate.:)

I don't want to upset people but hey when it dies i will bin it and buy another Range Rover. :twisted:
Yes it is a Classic but it has cracked leather on front seats, faded paint on bonnet and roof, whiney auto, dropped headling and dinted bumpers but mechanically brilliant.

I hate mud generally but have never had issues from it with my previous Range Rover or 100 series Landcruiser, so hardly NEW to it.

I am open to offers for the car if someone wants to save it from my somewhat unrangeroverish ways??

Otherwise wheels, EAS, Rola roof racks and factory tan leather 7 seat rear seat plus brackets and belts are coming up for sale.

Hope I don't upset the purists.

Nice work

Bring on the body lift, suspension, guard trim, 35"s, locker, axles & CVs I say:clap2:. Like you said its only a $6000.00 4bee. Mines a soft dash RR and is highly modified:D. Good luck with it.

Cheers Gavin

Well, if it was in mint condition then it'd be a crime.... but sounds like it's had a bit of a hard life.

You might be surprised at how long it takes to kill it !!

Good on you for getting out an having a go though. It's what they were designed for :p

It makes me life as it was serviced to an inch of its life (as i said in earlier post $50,000 is 7 years serviced) but the prevous owner obviously never heard of polish or leather conditioner?? plus the usual parking dints and stuff.
So i figure the money for respray, new leather on front seats, bumpers rolled or replaced etc etc means not really worth bringing back to awesome condition so I will use it as my weekend fun car, always maintained but used as a 4x4.
Thanks RR46 it will get a few mods but nothing too serious at this stage.

Are you suggesting that Range Rovers are soft and should be babied?

I like it that you're using it as it was designed for! I have a 2 door which has perhaps, had some sacrilegious things done to it, but at the end of the day it is your car, you should be able to do what you want with it!

Although, I don't know if I enjoy mud as much as you seem to hahahaha :p

I think if we could, we'd have one for offroad fun and the other for royal daily transportation hehe.
