    off you go boys

    Hey, You boys should take this over elongated, self inflating, fairwell off line. Personally, I can't work out wether your trying to make yourselves feel better, or perhaps try and drag a few more of the devoted down with you??? Is it all perhaps to make yourselves feel better about the poor decision making you have recently been undertaking!

    ONLY JOKING, but geez it is a long drawn out painful fairwell... and no beers to go with the fair well Aussie? Perhaps you are not fully convinced of letting go just yet? Here's a thought, maybe your Rangie can become a town car for a while... keep the new one (mitsi wasn't it?) for off road and Rangie for on and soft roading... I know it hasn't done the pig any harm for the last 12 months.

    Dave & pig

    storm in a teacup!

    Don't know if you fellows are still about but every time I have taken my P38a it ends up being the recovery vehicle not the recovered.

    You have to remember the golden rule for all cars, "maintenance is not optional."

    These cars cost in the vicinity of $100,000.00 new. To then think that you can take one of the most advanced vehicles for their time and neglect it, then expect it to be trouble free is a bit unfair.

    My 1996 P38A has 320,000kms on the clock and never misses a beat. It has had a rebuild at 250,000k's I have taken the vehicle into some of the most remote places in this country with no problems.

    Cheers SG

    Kalincho - I make the same offer to you as I did to Aussie... once bitten by the P38 bug anything else will be a compromise... what help do you need to stay "in the tent/asylum"? You know this forum is here to help and poke fun at anything that moves (or not!) and as the co-owner of Hard Range if I can help it will be my pleasure to keep another "mate" (and potential customer) on-side.

    PM, contact via hardrange.com or give me a call if I can assist or you just want to chat about "stuff".

    Cheers, Paul.

    It looks like by the end of the week Rangie will be sold,( I have taken a deposit)

    As mentioned in the first post the majority of the decision to sell was to pay off the unsecured loan that i had remaining from buying the car and fixing it after the engine rebuild.

    I am looking at it quite positively as now with a soon to be clean slate I will be able to start over.

    I am determined to stay in the Landrover Family and have set my sights on a Defender 130 crew cab (I pointed one out to SWMBO at the train station today) or a 110, hopefully as early as the end of this year.

    I know it will be no comparison to the drive of the P38, though I have not driven a newer car to match yet.

    As I said to the MRS, a little piece of me died today.. I will pass on the details of this forum to the new owner, he has had classics in the past and knows what he is getting into..
