sounds a lot,,,,

yep BUB91 the mighty V8rossignol has passed the 250,000 mark.

the bonnet and roof have paint crazes, (or so I'm told)

rust in the rear floor near the wheel arches (NWWA,BS) bottom front inside door skin, (NWWA,BS) inside-front of rear wheel arches(NWWA,BS)

Still does'nt use oil, still does'nt need a cam change.( well, it does :wink: )

off with the bad stuff---------

BUB91 has taken us lots of places and our life style revolves around BUB91 being able to do what it does,, sounds sort of weird, but, not.
its nearly the opposite of being taken for granted,,,,
There is never any thought of NOT being able to do something.
if it involves a us and car,, BUB91 can do it.

We are looking forward to the next 250,000. 8)


oh,
NMMA,BS means not worth worrying about both sides. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Congrats to BUB91 the faithful retainer.

Its great to have confidence in the truck inspite of some peoples prejudiced views of the marque. The NWWA attitude is essential.

I have been amazed at some LR owners anal retentive concerns about squeaks and rattles and their not forgiving the quirks. This largely due to not exploring the vehicles capabilities and therefore not being able to put things into perspective. Also the places they haven't seen and experiences not had as a result of being precious.

May you and BUB91 see another 250k.

I agree with one-iota about the nwwa attitude as I have run with it myself for a long time , although slightly different eg; if something is wrong , theres nothing wrong! so if i have a squeek or rattle or some small "thing " that is not quite right ,everything is just honky-dory, 'cos as murphy says "if something can go wrong it will!", and normally it's something BIG!!! :wink:

Ok here it is.

Have to build up a garden because as soon as you move 6inches of top soil here you find a large hard clay base that has baked itself into a form of granite.

And as for the wide screen thing ............... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif all too true

Gardens are a pretty big committment,,

this "North West and luving it" sounds serious,,


so, what are you gunna plant?

bigbugga
25th January 2004, 08:02 PM
Palms, ferns and what ever else will grow.

Make my own little rain forrest.

Carted the first of the sleeper's today, 20 more to go in morning and we will be all done.

Good thing we can get them for free here, Railway work's trucks dump them out at the tip and we have been given the ok to take as many as we need.

First palm went in today, side of the house where it is easy to dig.

First of many more. :?



I am stuffed already

He has been great, bit bored over the holidays because he has no mates up here yet but he luvs the idea of running about with just his shorts on.
Also thinks it is realy cool that we have lizards in our back yard, some of which are over 40cm long, fast little buggers too, dog hates them.

He starts school next week so will settle down a bit and we will both get to know the locals.
