What do you do if you see a Series sitting in a paddock?

[SimonM]

We were out on a drive last weekend, and came across what looked like either a series 1 or early series 2, I am no expert, sitting in the middle of a paddock. I was tempted to drive in and make an offer but I was put off a bit by the hand written signs of christian messages and signs directed to people who apparently were gossiping about them :eek:.

Naw! You go in.....Speed up to their front door, come skidding to a broadside stop, spraying gravel and turf in all directions, horn blazing and leap out and roar at the top of ya lungs "Praise the Lord! Brother I've come to save your soul and that of that poor misbeguiled landie sitting in ya bottom paddock I will be taking it to a place of retreat and meditation so that it can repent of its numerous sins and turn itself over to godly works and good deeds. Now Brother before the unholy one in the guise of Digger arrives to tempt you, sign this small insignificant pledge that you want that poor beast's soul saved for the glory of god, no need to read it Brother, Yes sign right there.......... Oh that is a wonderful thing you have just done Brother, now I will just go and tow the gross sinner out of ya paddock and up to the public road and arrange for transportation to my garage....errr place of retreat. Thank You Brother! Thank You!"


See...... Simple really! :angel:

Et tu Brutus?

:p:o
I first read the above post that the signs were directed against the christians and those who have spread rumours..... so I thought maybe do that and then ring me , my number is 666 666 666 (area code is.... yep 666!):twisted: and "the devil will just pop down to Georgia" :)


Oh well, rock in and knock, if they say no, then easy - go!, they may be nice people!

If they ask how you knew about the car, just tell them people were talking about them in town when you were at your local coven meeting!:twisted: then ring me.....

If its a gunbuggy then its a sign from God himself that you should stay away and call me urgently!

(Dont call Rob, he is evil, Honest!!! :) )

No you quickly run to your doctor and plead with him that you've just experienced the onset of Lode Lane fever and you need a cure. If you don't do this you will end up with the chronic form of the disease Solihullitis and half a dozen various model landies in the back yard.

I think it is too late to turn back Diana, it is has been prophesised that I will own many Land Rovers.

Next time I am out that way I will just have to pack my bible, rock up and see what happens. Perhaps with a bit more subtlely than Rob :D.

When I lived on Norfolk Island, the number plate on the Catholic priest's car was 666.

Hey, I never noticed before, that ex army series 2 I took a photo (in earlier post) of has a Salisbury diff and seems to have early 110 door tops with the angled glass.

It also looks to have SIII wheel nuts and an unreinforced SIII front axle (remember SIIa had reinforced housings).

The doortops are ex-UK Wolf doortops, you can tell from the DBG paint underneath. Not sure when the Brits started using them but could have been as early as SIII.

That figures! He drives the devil out.

Somebody has to save that poor landy! It would be a beaut little truck after a little TLC

[The ho har's]

What would I do??


Generally I would get my pen and paper out and go and record the chassis

number to find out what it is, and if Military look it up in REMLR:D

but that's just me:p;)

If I had the cash I'd go offer him $700 or so for it. Maybe a grand. I wouldn't have the cash to work on it just yet, but I would carry it to my place where it could at least sit undercover. You could also clean it up a bit before you try to get it started... assuming it doesn't already start.

[clubagreenie]

Drive in with a trailer, jesus fish stickers all over the car and $500- in you pocket (only show them $100- and keep it in a hollowed out bible). If that doesn't work sit outside, with trailer. When they leave, covert mission snatch and grab. That's how I procured my first 2A, from a paddock at eastern creek where the M7 control centre now sits. Else it be bulldozed into motorway.
