    Thumbs up It's been a while....time to get serious!

    Hello to all on the forum.

    I joined last year with the intention of getting out and about in my Disco which I found myself 'lumbered' with after marital split.
    All good intentions of joining in on a club drive were thwarted by work or other commitments. Also I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the vehicle or not.

    So....I can't sell the Disco for the price I want (to clear the debt) which leaves me in the position of paying it off until its mine and then probably keeping it until I'm in a rocking chair with crocheted rug over my knees.

    With this in mind I want to get serious about getting this machine where it belongs....out bush as my Toorak Tractor has never been off road.

    Would someone please advise me (again, oops, forgotten what I was supposed to get) on the bare necessities kit wise for a trip.

    Also, out of curiousity is there a women's only landrover forum on here?
    Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated so that I can get out and about with you guys as you seem to have so much fun!

    Cheers

    Welcome Back

    a womens only forum?

    it can seem so at times

    as for off road kit,,
    a front and rear tow point, snatch strap, and rated shackle would be a minimum.
    a well maintained(serviced) standard D2 will get you into and out of most places,,

    Driver training is offered by most Land Rover clubs

    yep theres a woman landrover club.

    most members are easily identified by looking in through the drivers side window and counting the pedals in the drivers side footwell.


    and theres a lot of people around here that get by wearing a blue and white stripey apron.

    I'm pretty sure Mrs Ho Har will be along very soon to snap you up for the sisterhood.

    Dave, what is with the apron thing? You got something against Butchers and Chefs
