    Gracie has gone!

    Well, after just over 4 years of VERY happy ownership, Gracie has found a new home with a new appreciative owner.
    Wifey & I have had a lot of fun with her, driving in the Country in her, in a leisurely manner was a totally different experience than in an ordinary car.
    But, the lure of a V8, of which we've had a few, reared its head, so that is what we've done, and we have bought an HSV GTSR with the supercharged 6.2L LSA engine.
    An alternative for us would've been the recently announced Defender Works V8, but we ain't in that financial league, but I do hope one does come to Aussie so I can at least look at one,....I reckon it will be sensational.
    But I ain't going anywhere, maybe i won't be quite as active, but I'll still be here!
    Thank You everyone who helped me as a Defender "Newby", with advice.
    Pickles.

    I too enjoy your posts. A V8? 2nd or 3rd childhood? Enjoy.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
