They are OK but a smile would go a long way. Cheers mate

And heres me thinking you'd dinged the door and had to get it fixed! Shame on me.
When I had my old SIIA I used to buy my tail-lights/indicators in boxes of a dozen as I would always be backing into things. No kidding, cheaper this way.Yes it was!

Yeah, there was a story on TV about a month ago about this mob in Sydney, apparently they are pretty quick to issue $88 fines if you are a minute over time, my wife said there was a bloke paying pretty close attention to the tickets in windscreens of cars parked there. They make there money out of issuing "fines" which I believe have no legal standing. Apparently they can get you for breaking a "contract" that you make when you enter their carpark. I think it stinks.

Same exercise down here. But it's still all bull****. Remember, they have to take YOU to court and prove that YOU have entered into a contract which YOU have renegged on. These people work on the average persons ignorance of the legal system and their fear of going to court. Scumbags basically. What did Daryl say in "The Castle" ...........tell 'em to get *******. Got to be careful here, family thread.

Hey Banjo, I know you think a Freelander is not a "real" Landy, but what do you think of my new spare wheel cover I bought on Fleabay, they are hard to get for FL1's and I have been looking for ages. Got this one from Western Australia of all places. I wanted a wheel cover with the "Landrover" logo on it, but I did'nt want any advertising for a product. I hit the jackpot because this one also had "Freelander" on it. Whaddya reckon!!!

Hey aus you own a new landrover so you rarely need to get parts ,,All mine have been series there for i need parts regularly karen use to visit every week building this one sometime twice a week for 3 years,, ching ching..


Karen said a lot of the workers down at the new woolies park there thats why you now have to pay..
Karen use to work at the french hot bread shop opposit aldi on the other side of woolies she still does when the owner wants to go back home for visits (Viatnam) & they are having heaps of trouble down there with the workers..
theres many days they get into arguments over it..

Where they are doing the work there on the main rd side is just crap,i nearly smashed into a cop this mornin he turned into bilo street & i was right behind him when he desided to stop to chat to the hairdresser who was unloading her car in the no standing right on the corner.i dont think he was very inpressed cause i was about an inch off him to get out of the trafic coming up from the lights & i kept moving forward so he had to move he was giving dirty looks in his mirror i just smiled & kept moving forward he got the shats & moved wasnt happy though....

You are being cruel, the car is running great at the moment, but descisions have to be made, because as I have already said the gearbox will not last!!!. Six months tops according to those who "know"!!
