Thread: Gone Missing

Several of us enjoyed the resource when building / understanding vehicles. Others enjoyed sharing knowledge etc.

Sometimes it comes to a close or is no longer needed.

Whilst social of sorts, getting out there is much more fun!

Nowadays I get very little value from D1, D2, D3, D4 tech forums however just added a RRS to the stable so reading/browsing in there. Whilst the tech is the same, it’s a different body etc to work with.

If you just delete all those after Bacicat you could save some time.

^^^^^

It does say "I'm here to help."

I'm still around, and still driving the Mule - very infrequently though.
Workload has doubled, and the region I look after now spans a good part of NSW, so lots of my work time is travelling... puts other things in perspective when thinking about what might be 'fun' to do on a weekend (ie not driving). The passion hasn't died, but it ain't what it used to be either.

Still modding the car. Still loosely documenting it in my build thread, however haven't committed to anything beyond the annual to bi-annual updates. My ****posting level is also down on target... Might have to remedy that
Even 2 years on, I'm still on the fence about doing something special to the axles, after busting both of them on the trails at the same time.

Yeah. You ever visit a Toyota forum?? We have WAY more fun.

Life changes, Facebook is more instant BUT is horrible if you want to lookup something. (Yes you can pin things in a way, but it just isn’t the same)

Chops still has his D4 (and a “88 S2A)

Bytemark sold his white D4 - and bought a red D4 and a caravan.

LandyAndy I believe is very active on FB.

I know of a few members (active) that recently said to me “I might no renew when my subscription expires, as the Series section is nowhere as active as it used to be”. Which would be a pity - but that’s their choice.

I am not as active as I used to be - even though I own 8 different LR products. Life gets in the way unfortunately.

I have tried to sell some things via AULRO - but have never sold anything. I have sold 50+ items on Facebook (LR parts). Although there are far more idiots/scammers on FB - it is a wider audience. It “is what it is” - it’s nobody’s fault.

Whenever I meet a new LR owner I point them towards this great forum. I drive the only new Defender in the world with an AULRO tyre cover on it (I believe - it came off my 101).

There are hundreds of people on the AULRO facebook page who don’t even know that this forum exists.. Maybe it’s a younger generation/FB thing…
