Hi All,

Sitting here reading all the good events/trips about to happen this year and the Gordons Country trip report, really missing my Land Rovers.

I really didnt think I would miss going camping & 4x4 this quickly after all both the Rangie and the Defender have only been gone for 7 weeks plus I didnt really get out that much so it must be about having the freedom of choice I am missing.

So a new plan is required, must get a Land Rover ASAP, I cant/wont miss out on this years events........... :mad:

Until then might see ya's at the next meeting :)

Here's an old dunga you may like, bloody exxy though-

1975 RANGE ROVER V8 MANUAL TRANS 4X4 V CLEAN RUNS GREAT (eBay item 330522021669 end time 01-Feb-11 04:10:00 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330522021669&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

A bit old but in the pics it looks okay, as usual with old rangies cheack for rust. Maybe Pete may be able to have a look at it for a carton or two :beer:, it's down Ormeau way (Peachys Garage IICR although it says Southport).

Then as Josh said, club rego it. Bit stock looking but as a standard vehicle they're pretty damn capable, just rust is the real issue these days with old rangies. save the nice vehicles for the shopping centers, been there dontr that and it was a PIA (the aquarangie that was a 'nice car and I destroyed it :()

Might see you around soon so good news from that point.

Yes the old blue one is a great Defender, and has some great memories attached so it will be good to see it out with the club and make sure Cranky Doug (think thats his new user name) cares for and doesnt put bails of hay on the back seat ANY MORE :mad: ;) :p.

But cant wait to get out with the club again. :)
