Thread: Friendships Here?

Couple of weeks but seems a lot longer, very friendly atmosphere and I always feel welcome and a part of something very special.

Ooooh a sexual entendre.

I am interested to know when this board was started? It is a great community, everybody is very genuine and trusting

no mate a lot of us dont know each other from a bar of soap...

but we all have one thing in common

We own landrovers...

for one reason or another that in itself appears to be enough to let you strike up friendships a lot easier...

closest I can come to for an explination is to point you to Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy (book form) and the entry on the importance of towels and here I quote Douglas Adams

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

The landrover is the towel of the automotive world.

Hey Dave would that make a 7/16 ring spanner a Babel fish?

no thats the 9/16 ring/ring double offset with 1/2 inch on the other side

This is not a time thing, its a bit viral.
The key is owning a Landy can reprogram your brain!!
If you have owned a Landy for any length of time you have reached a level of maturity and understanding that you have an unspoken bond with other owners and nothing really to prove.
If brain is not yet reprogramed, -- just stay on the forum for a while!!!

I think this myth should be revisited
