    mmm Bloody EEC

    The EEC has banned the use of bull bars as from the 25th May
    You are no longer allowed to put bull bars on a car in europe does not matter what the age of the car. You can keep ones that are already on trucks . But can't put new ones on.
    This means that the sales of ARB (and the Like ) bumpers has now stopped in the uk and Europe
    The only ones allowed are the plastic ones. Which do bugger all anyway

    How bloody stupid is that

    So as long as your 4x4 was made before 25 march you just say it was already fitted

    I'm a pomme, (now an Aussie, apparently) and to be fair there aren't too many roo's in europe that will hop out in front of you. The only thing I ever even came close to hitting was a cat.

    You and me both !

    I just noticed you live in kinross, me too.
    Next time you drive down Selkirk drive look out for the white two door Rangie.
    It's parked across the road until I get some room in my garage !What is it you drive? Is it the dark coloured disco that parks on Selkirk?

    G'day All, Your spelling is correct Deer = 4 legged animal that runs wild in the UK and is bloody bigger than most Roo's.
    Dear = wife =swmbo and if you start hitting her>> Police >> trouble>> criminal record>>loss of Land Rover to pay fines court costs etc etc etc etc, anyway it probably won't be that long in the same ban appyling here as well cheers Dennis
