    A spotted thread.

    Until such time as they are everywhere, we need (or not) a thread a bit like twitchers have on bird watching sites.

    So I'll start it off.

    So today a drive into Lithgow town from Mt Wilson to buy groceries, fuel for the garden tools, gas for the BBQ we spotted in front turning off at the Zig Zag railway with a white Toyota FJ Cruiser a Black 110. It's a moderately dirty road that way so I hope you get to wash some of it off.

    On Sunday evening I saw a white 110 with white roof go around the corner while I was waiting for my Chinese take-away.

    This afternoon I saw a silver 110 along Ipswich Rd, I waved but the two blokes in front either didn't see me or didn't know what it meant.

    Whilst driving my slightly soiled white one the other day I spotted a glossy black one at the local car wash....no doubt it spends most of its time either at the dealers or the carwash. The owner twisted his neck as I passed by.

    This one spotted in the Hornsby area a few weeks ago.
    What caught my eye was the Range Rover Club (NSW) badge which indicates that Defenders are now acceptable in the RRC. Actually they may have been for some time but I'm haven't been up to date with the club scene lately.

    Hi Roger,

    Greg Pearson at Cremorne Prestige serviced my ex Disco for a while. He was an active member of the RRC. He told me that in those days when the Disco and the Rangie had a lot in common mechanically, Discos were welcome on outings. Maybe the circle has turned and now the new Defender shares a similar status.

    IIRC, the Discos were welcomed by the RRC since they were first released in the early nineties. I believe the RRC membership would have dimished somewhat if this hadn't happened but it seems to have taken a few more decades for the Defenders to be welcomed.

    Anyway, apologies for the side track, let's get back on line with the purpose of this thread.
    Roger
