Thread: Rover fever strikes again

well the fever has struck again ,just arrived home in the new purchase ,a 1989 Range Rover donor vehicle purchased from Grimace

what a trip home from the coast ,had a blow out just out of canungra last night ,the only spare being a rangie mag wheel ,not bad if i had the mag nuts to go with, and the rangie was running sunraysias

managed to get the mag on with a few threads on each nut and limped it to a rellies place at tamborine village,where after some frantic hither and thithering a replacement tyre was found , a spare tyre from a 15 inch commodore rim,some backyard mechanicing and the tyre was fitted to the sunraysia,albeit looking a little like somethnig seen in the "hood"
part 2 of the journey this after noon found me driving into Beaudesert with a white commodore with pretty lights on top on the side of the road,(at this point it will be stated that blow out "removed" right front indicator assembly ,so that coupled with no grill,some pretty strange looking skinny low profile tyres,and NO INTERIOR except for drivers seat,exhaust finishing in front of rear diff,strange looking crayon flame job on the bonnet,cut away guards MINUS flares thanks josh and the small matter of rego run out three weeks ago )no one other than me and my launderer will know how much panic went thru my mind at that point
Mr Plod it seemed had something of interest on the seat that made him not see me as i quietly glided thru town ,then got the hell outta there

cruised thru Boonah then snuck around the back of Moogerah then finally HOME!!!!!!! then parked it just behind "Thumper",looked just like a pair of bookends only thumpy looks a little better

twas very lucky indeed

and that drivers seat Ferno remeber thats mine

yes Josh i know the seat is yours,i was just wondering where the flares went ,also wish you could have at least left me one left rear door handle for thumpy so i could bring it back to orig,ah well ,should have got it earlier i spose

yes Harry ,i know it was highly Illegal to do what i did ,but what is one to do when local cop shop was shut on friday when i had time to go in and arrange a permit and yes,the motor seems quite strong,even with the auto that was a bit sus,it went exceedingly well,cant wait to get the time now to slot it in behind the five speed and also transplant the long range tank and a few other little trinkets

and thanks for the xmas offer rob hay ,but i dont think i shall be needing it yet
