    Where have all the Series I's gone....

    Stumbled on this website http://www.exmod.co.uk/conversions.html

    He's just up the road from me, I posted a picture of a car transporter full of Series I's coming from his direction.

    Poor old cockies being ripped off by scammers who earn big money, should be ashamed of themselves. Just another example our history and our country being sold down the drain.

    I recognise some of those vehicles and photos from LandRover Heaven , and another 'enthusiast' who is , or was as the case might now be, allegedly a 'mate' of mine. off the christmas card list now asshole.

    Problem is that there is more money by selling in the UK or US.
    I've been offered a good price for my Series I from a chap in the US, I'm not ready to sell it but it was tempting.

    You might say, in a roundabout sort of way, I've had to knock back some gearbox work, well all of it actually , and Iveco transfer cases too, because I simply didn't have any room left to work in my shed, I put it all on hold because selfishly I wanted to decicate my time to my Power Wagon project. And now thats finished I poked myself in the bloody eye , (I'm trying to think if theres any irony in that ) Doc says no machine work or travel for 2 years , .not sure what I'll do.. maybe I'll write another book?
