Also compare the first pics from Catch-22 and Larry ;) and that angle looks better for the pics anyway. :D

Always enjoy seeing it about, have given a few waves. (In fact, now been spotted enough times that it's known to the family as "the military Landrover" :D)

The person driving the furthest used to get the economical car on the day, so as Numpty drove further than me to work........ :D:D

Not at all - the brush bar and jerry holders make it a breeze :wasntme:

Good practise Mrs H H, but at least the 130 has power steering.:o

I always secretly wished I would get the opportunity to do it but never did

But that was with an FJ55 cruiser so it doesn't count

Nice series.
As for the parking that's easy. I just park next to them so they either can't get out or gan't open the doors on one side. My side steps on the 130 are perfect for stopping doors hitting my rig:twisted:.

I have been known to climb out the back of vehicles with rear doors once I have squeezed it in.

Having driven one of those sigs wagons extensively when I was wearing green, I can tell you the reason its parked like that.
The driver would have been half asleep !!
Note the exhaust under the front bumper. I defy anyone to drive one with the window open ( oops I nearly said window down:wasntme:) for an hour and not be sleepy.( not you Sleepy) In fact they were well known as "sleep machines" in the early 70's.
The exhaust was there so the sigs could sit in the back all day with the motor charging the batteries. OK for them - hell for the driver.
