As the long winter nights draw in, I fear that stripping Piglet and making him into something else is on the cards......

Maybe remove the roof....

Maybe switch the front with a Defender?

Maybe simply turn him into a 100" Defender?

Ideas please....or some readies to save him from my amatuer attempts at being different.....

Keep him, at least till I have the money to take him off your hands :)

TimM · « **Reply #2 on:** August 24, 2006, 18:53:36 »

I've gone for the garden ornament option....... so he can stay the same :D

Piglet is an icon and deserves to be used or retired to a museum (but he'd hate it).

i've gone for the above

Seriously, what is piglet?

How could you do that for a few quid???

It's a real shame

Jake · « **Reply #10 on:** August 24, 2006, 21:06:43 »

Fancy doing hire purchase?

I still think we should all get the chance to rent piglet for a weekends fun :D

Usual restrictions apply, break him and consider him sold

dontaition to home of the ledged perhaps :?:
Or a charity raffle for MC :?:

Xtremeteam · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2006, 21:46:01 »

if you break piglet i dibs the lockers :lol:

v8kenny · « **Reply #14 on:** August 24, 2006, 21:54:16 »

Why not hold a raffle exclusively for mud club members ?
with 3672 current members if 20% bought a ticket at say Ã‚Â£10 each (surely worth a punt ?) then that would raise the thick end of Ã‚Â£7500 - anything over what Neil wants could go to charity
I'd buy a ticket (maybe 2 !) and I am sure many others would too
Just a thought.......................................

landraver · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2006, 21:56:22 »

Yeah!
Do it, do it!!!

v8kenny · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2006, 22:09:25 »

Mud club already have a paypal account so this would be an easy way to collect entries
This way Neil gets his dosh, Piglet stays in the mud club and just maybe some charity may benefit

davidlandy · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2006, 22:27:27 »

why dont you simply lower the asking price to a realistic number?

Thrasher · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2006, 23:18:04 »

Can't see anywhere that "for sale" is mentioned ;-) Oh and I *did* lower the asking price.

ChrisW · « **Reply #19 on:** August 24, 2006, 23:22:46 »

There's a nice 100" round this way that's Defender outer panels bolted / welded and hammered onto a Discovery floor pan and chassis - certainly looks the biz :mrgreen:

I would have voted...but there was no option for 'bobtailing' :lol: :lol:

(Well sometime they look good

Elmo · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2006, 01:53:49 »

Voted "want to buy" although the cash is currently unavailable. Can't believe a site admin is considering trashing an icon :(

Told you Neil - I'll look after him. He'd be close to home and you could come and see him whenever you like.

Thrasher · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2006, 16:23:02 »

Hmmmm...tempting Henry...tempting. Although he'd have to shed a *lot* of excess weight!

That's easily done! :lol:

In fact the process of shedding weight would mitigate any costs that you might incur whilst 'converting'!
