Whats the hideous looking Silver thing at the front?

The silver thing is the Mrs car. I like using it as my LR "get out of jail card" and general purpose "no hiccups" machine. It is more economical and a lot more comfortable towing larger loads than my dear old P38. It has no soul or spirit though... its just a machine and I prefer the rangie and save her for less menial and more enjoyable duties!!!

Thanks for the trailer loan Mick, much appreciated and it didn't miss a beat. And its much nicer towing that set up with out the usual width car trailers have to worry about. The load on top of wheel arches in stead of inside them is excellent.

It turns out the No 5's are both in pretty good condition and I am happier than I thought I would be with them. They appear well maintained (well greased anyway!) with very good tyres, tarp bars, lunette's (is that spelt right?) and one even had a tarp included. In saying that one has some "vital" bits missing/damaged (tarp, indicators, plug) and they both have a smattering of surface rust and a few minor scrapes and dents.

Will try to post some more pic's over the coming days.
