what do I want?
« on: September 29, 2005, 16:36:47 »
Hi folks. I am looking into buying another Land Rover :D  but am not sure exactly what to buy, here is the situation. SWMBO starts a new job in Jan which will involve a daily drive along a high, steep, isolated moor road. The plan is to buy a Discovery or classic Range Rover as an extra vehicle that I will use all year round for a bit of fun on green lane trips, fundays and perhaps a bit of RTV trialing. SWMBO will keep her present car and use the Land Rover on icy/snowy days in winter. I was thinking of something cheap, we don't mind dents etc but do need solid and reliable, as the miles will be low I thought V8. Does this plan make sense? Do you know of anything for sale? or have any better sugestions.

That it may be, but it'll be more economical to run on those cold and snowy days!

Sure, you can gas a v8, but is your nearest gas station close?

Just my tuppence

My feeling was that a V8 would be cheaper to buy/lower miles. Plus with the low miles we will be doing the extra fuel cost is not a big issue. That and I love V8s :)

Seems like you know what you want, you're just needing us to justify it for you!  :wink:

Which I'm more than happy to do!

You'll get a better Rangie for the money than you will a Disco - but look out for lemons in both species - rear floors especially!

Oh yeah, sit back and enjoy the noise. Hmmm, how much does Nelly want for Piglet!  :wink:

I have already dropped him a hint, but I somehow think Piglet will not quite fit my budget  :cry:

How about it Neil, you want a PX for a Hybrid????

Always remember reading, and re-reading (and reading again) the article in LRO about the build up your Lightweight....

For ages I wanted a Coil spring Lightweight.... infact I still wouldn't say no now!!!

Well here is your chance, just persuade Neil to part with Piglet, and the object of your desire could be yours.
