Been enjoying this thread but haven't posted much. I admire you guys for getting on with life despite everything.

I'm in my 50s and in Brissie so you won't see me driving past.
Nice Landy, by the way.

My wife had a depression breakdown a while back and it took her a while to get back on top. She's good most of the time, but knows when she's getting edgy and takes action to beat it. Thats not the same situation as yours, but I guess it shows most of us are a bit fragile in some way. You're not alone.

The granddaughter is a bit obsessive and showed some behavoural problems at school, but we've put it down to a combination of confusion and repressed feelings about her parents getting divorced, plus her IQ is about 4 years above her age, so we think she's just a bit bored sometimes at school. Love and caring seems to be the best treatment.

Incidentally, Ausfree, my wife loves driving our Disco, which has power steering and is easy to park (except in low parking stations). She's short but the side steps help her in. So I'd certainly get your wife to give a Disco a try, if I were you.

i fight depression i have my high & low days but since yakin on here about it the low days seem to be fewer so thats good..

How do you find the blue engine in the Landy. Was that in old one or your current one. Did you manage to get that @#5$%*& vari-jet carby or whatever they had to work or did you put something else on ?

Keep up the good work.

Hey DeanoH the blue 202 is in the current one green one .its a good engine now we have it set up . na we use a holley 350 on it its not to bad.fuel consuption isnt to bad either..but the best thing is the power steering..
we had thought it was getting hot but it was just a sender compatarbilty with the dash gauge but we just use an electric temp gauge & its ok..
could do with another gear thow..

Hey, Banjo, how come you scored a park in Harrison St Cardiff, every time I go there its parked out, looks like you had plenty of room.

Fattys always going off the few times i do go out i allways seem to get a park right out the front of where i have to go..
but i had to walk from the corner back to the cheap shop.
Karen said shut up you had to walk 40 feet she had to park in bilo yesterday just to go to the post office...
What where you in when you went past.i remember your profile saying you where a driver,taxi,courier.Bus..
i seen an old van go pst slow it was in undercaot only....

Used to have a SIIA many years ago. 4cyl petrol. Got it balanced and fitted extractors as I was sick of cracking manifolds every time I crossed a creek. Went like the clappers but felt as if it was a gear short. It had Rover diffs both ends, no Salisbury, bolted in Rover 90 (sedan) diffs which changed it from about 4.7 to 4.3 from memory. Was a real cheap half a gear upgrade. Though you could get 'Fairy" overdrives which bolted on to the back of the transfer case which gave you a proper extra gear. Maybe someone on the forum can point you in the right direction.
