Land Rover swapping anyone

[furianer]

Hi there, might sound like strange plane, guess a bit like asking someone if he is interested in swapping his wife

What i got to offer, I’ve got a small business in all thing Land Rover based in switzerland (old world, part of europe ) www.stolz-rostfrei.ch
You get the use of one of my defenders or discoverys what ever is available at the moment, fully prepared to go travelling, as far as the top of Africa if you like.

In return we get to use your TDi (Brisbane based be ideal ), we’re planning a trip from the east coast across to central australia ( used to life out there ) further on to the top end and across to maybe the cape york, back down to Brisbane along the coast. Got about 7 weeks to spend.

If this sounds ridicules, just let me know, but please contact me if you got a TDI for sale around the middle of april, ideally ready to go ( as ready as landrovers can be )

thanks Richard

Now if i had a fender and the time/money to come over i'd take you up on the offer, i think its a great idea.

I think that's a great idea too.

Am just emailing my missus to see what she thinks of the idea. We prob couldn't do 7 weeks in Europe because of kids/work, but I'd still be happy to let you have my car for 7 weeks.

Would you be interested in using a 97 TDi 300 Disco. Front and Rear ARB lockers. Snorkel. Old Man Emu suspension. It's got a shelving system that fits in the back (http://motorcare.com.au/chkwgn.htm).

BTW - We are in Adelaide, but still it's only a few days drive up to Brisbane.

Anyway, let me know if you are at all interested and I'll work on the girl.
Regards
David

hmmm interesting concept - though i would check the insurance implications - as even though this is a "swap" i think you will find that in the eyes of the law it is a lease agreement and as such different insurance provisions apply. god forbid something may happen to your car - or its swiss passemgers i would hate to see you be in the deep doo doo .

My folks did this a year or two ago with a couple from Denmark (I think). I don't recall them saying anything about different insurance required. Surely you could just make sure they were on your insurance policy as registered drivers.

We did this a few years ago - but it was only for 3 weeks. We got their ski chalet, and their Subhuru in Wildhause, S.Land - and they got Kyabram and my Disco 1. Worked very well.

Like said the names were just added as authorised drivers to the insurance - no issues.
