It's that feeling we all know, that urge to find a reason, even no reason, to drive our Landies.

But how can it be? What is it? Where does the Permagrin come from?

What causes it? Is it a component of the vehicle or an undefinable phenomenon? How can that feeling be described to others? How can a machine make you feel that way? Is it Science? Mechanical? Cultural?

Is it the primary reason we all drive Land Rovers?

I want to jump up and go for a drive right now! ...anywhere! 😀😁😇🙃😁

Could be the vibe(rations). Heady oil vapour fix. Excitement of 'will I get home'. Memories of my S3. My new puma has none of these. Yet

It's quite simple really. I reminds you of the joy you had, playing with your Rattles as an Infant. [bigsmile]

I have No idea why this phenomenon occurs But it doesn't only affect Landrover drivers.
My daughter bought her first 4WD last year an older model Hilux twin cab and every time she rocks up at home in it She has that same Grin that I get when I am in my Disco.[bigwhistle][biggrin]

My D2a is my First Landrover I used to have either Hilux's of Surfs ( We still have a 2006 twin cab), So I still have a soft spot for a nicely set up Hilux [biggrin]
