Hi Everyone!

I'm about to plunge into the world of Landies with my first ever - a 95 D1! :)
I have no doubt that some of you will hate me already considering the choice and loyalty to various LR models, but given that my introduction to this world has been provided by Pete S and Grimace I hope some will take pity!! :P

Hello to you all and I hope to meet some new friends and have fun with (possibly mainly fixing) my new toy - Grimace, when can I pick it up? :)

Best Regards
Grant

and to all the model specific people,

heck, i have two of them.

Welcome to the madness :twisted:

Discos are alright, I have one too but they're nowhere near as good as a Rangie though :cool:

I might be Welsh (thats just for Pete), but I'm puzzled how the hell it can be uphill in both directions??

I picked her up tonight and she purr'd all the way home! Thanks for the full tank Grimace! ;)

Time to get oil under my nails again and rough up these 'desk job' hands!! Pete when does the workshop open? :D

Let me know when its going to Ormeau Automotive, I have the spare diff, solid rear drive shaft. and some other bits to bring along.

Also have another key for her (well I am assuming it is for her as its not for Fluffy).

Cheers Grimace,

Drop them all into Ormeau Auto (that'll stick) next time you go up there - I'm sure Pete won't mind me filling his place with spares :P
I'm going to order those transfer box parts, so won't do anything until they get here and it makes sense to do that and the rear shaft at the same time ;)

Plenty of other small jobs for me to start on! :) ...got my new Radio today, so that needs to go in..... I feel like a kid at Christmas!!

Possibly, I had three off them :) but I don't recall rover park being the destination? My memory is shocking!

you have been forgiven,
it ws all in good intentions,
how come you sold the car without including membership?


oh, sorry, didn't mean to steal the thread.

looking forward to seeing you at the dare,
you can say happy birthday to the baby early in the morning, and later in the day,
come on, it's a baby, it doesn't know it's having a birthday,

but it's mum does!!!!!!
and they rule!

if you can make it, good, otherwise we understand.

I'm working on the baby situation - it's actually two baby birthday party invites! :( ...I'd much rather be burning fuel at the DARE!!
