Hello Folks,
I just wanted to make a public thank you to a forum member, DeeJay, for taking the time and making the effort to help me out by checking a Series 2A that was for sale in Seymour, Victoria.
The vehicle was on ebay, and I was pretty close to doing everything possible to buy it. Some of you might remember my original thread asking for assistance, and apart from needing a map (thanks IanV8! :p) I would have required divine intervention to see beyond my Land Rover Rose coloured glasses - not to mention my lack of mechanical knowledge - so I really appreciated DeeJay's offer to help.
As it turned out, the vehicle was not as it appeared. So I declined to offer a bid, and as a result, I feel DeeJay saved me from a major disappointment. For ethical reasons, I have waited until the ebay auction had closed to post this, but I am now free to acknowledge DeeJay's help.
Now, let me say this - the Land Rover community, of which AULRO is an integral part, is something I feel privileged to be a part of. It's precisely this kind of willingness to help fellow enthusiasts, from across the country, indeed - from around the world, that make this group so extraordinary. So let me also thank all my fellow AULROvians, because the strength of this place is larger than the sum of the parts. :clap2:
