Adventures of "Land Rover Man"

[DRanged]

So first a blog on LR man.

LR Man is a true enthusiast. His blood is green, he has a "go anywhere" RRC in the shed he built with his bare hands. He has assorted LR's scatterd around his lair. He thinks he knows all things LR;) ( not )

So pretty common species on this forum.

So LR man sets off on a quest to bring home the new D3 to add to his collection. Flies to Sydney from the GC all is well. Hands over cash and speeds away smirking and feeling very proud of himself. Pulls into a service station at 5.00 am full of punters going to work.
Jumps out of the D3 and proceeds to stare strangely at the dash board and other areas. Closes the door and walks around the car as the punters all look on with that "LR tosser" look on their faces.
So keeping up the facade LR man carefully sneaks around to the passenger side door and stealthily slips in and gets out the vehicle manual.
AHHHHHHHH he says to himself, thats how you open the F.......ng fuel door.

Nuf said????????

ps stay tuned for more adventures of LR man;)

hehe:lol2:

Reminds me of when I tried to "pop" the bonnet on my first disco - "Now where the hell is the lever??:("

[harry]

[stevo68]

Reminds me of the time I first tried to put fuel in my Humber Super Snipe Mk IV. Bought it second hand many years ago. When I arrived at the servo I remembered I left the owners book at home. Walked around the car many times trying to find the filler cap. Where could it be? Not under the rear rego plate, not in the boot. It was no where to seen, hmmmmmm...........finally. Do you know????

.....you haven't tried to fit the hitch yet:eek:..................
.....or worse.....try to put it back:eek:.:eek:...................
.....or get the head light washer to work on command..:angel:..
.....or get bogged, stalled or otherwise embarrassed when you've realised the damned carputer has reset all the widgets you'd so very carefully set and adjusted.:confused:...

and as Stevo said...changing a tyre. Not for the faint hearted or those who haven't purchased a new bottle jack.





...and then there's the frequent undercover carpark diatribe....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."....."Ya left ya lights on mate....thanks....they turn themselves off...."

Forgot to mention I had on a bright green "T" shirt with

"I am the Stig" plastered across the front. Probably not a good choice of shirt for that moment in life hey.

Please, all you experienced Discovery 3 owners or ex-owners please keep this ammunition coming so every time I see Justin with his latest addition Land Rover I can have some fun teasing him.
I may have to keep a list in my little organiser, fuel cap lever, headlights auto off, tow hitch, spare tyre, what else...
Mater.

P.S. Justin, if it was me waiting behind you at the fuel station, I would have offered you a tow with my LR and the drag chain I carry! (pop the bonnet if you know how otherwise I also carry a axe, and I'll wrap the chain around the engine as you have not got a front recovery point clearly exposed like your 4BDITi...

So I guess you flew down to Sydney and we didn't go exploring local tracks hey... No I'm not ****ed, just having some fun.

[Outlaw]

[x-box]

:lol2: that's gold Josh......



Well done Justin, can't wait to see the new truck :cool:

[FenianEel]

Justin,

That's too funny! Fortunately, even with that effort, you just couldn't pass for a Toorak Tractor driver or Landy shopping trolley type.

In the boot:confused:
What a car! One of the cars I learnt to drive in was a 63 Humber Vogue, loved the snipes and the 'super sports' though:D

[Grimace]

I hate secret squirel fuel cap openers :mad:

Was funny actually being a rangie fanatic and all... still took me a while to figure out how to open the fuel flap on the 1991 rangie :angel:

I am used to the old ones that generally didnt lock (but were ment to with the central locking).

On old snowball it's hidden on the passenger side of the steering column... lets just say I looked all over & under the seats under the dash, all over the drivers side of the steering column, walked to the flap tried to pry it open... got abit angry went back sat in the car was gonna just drive off cursing and swearing at myself when I had a quick glimpse on the passenger side of the steer column and there it was, a big grey button :TIC:

The Aquarangie was the same being a 92/93 model it hads the same filler set-up, pity it was 21 years too late because it's the best filler type on any RRC IMO. Which goose at LR thought that fitting a filler that was in line with the tank must of been on drugs :mad:

Good to see the mechanical engineering history came to the fore !!!:bangin:
I thought the average man was " if all else fails read the instructions "

[DRanged]

Well took the D3 to get the windows tinted. Upon picking it up the propriator says "This is the first D3 we have had" well there you go I say.

He says

"Do you go off road mate, I do, thats my Patrol out front."

Quick scan by LR man-- big tyres, lift kit fancy bits but not a mark on it;).

I turn back to the bloke and say, " No mate I dont go off road in the Discovery"



I use my "Raaange Roover" for that.:D

Leaving him with a bizzare look on his face I ponder should I tell him its 24 years old???????????????????????????????????????????? Na, the look was priceless.
