a gold coloured 200tdi disco with colour coded front grille

a lifted defender 90 with bfg mt's on it

a red defender 90 with weird light guards (which bolted to the bumper, but didnt touch the spots)

a lowered white 90 (could be saggy springs though ;) )

a fully kitted out army lightweight with all the gubbins (aerials/gun pods etc) with a jersey plate on it

a v8 90 which roared past me (v nice noise too)

loads of td5 discos and 300 discos with no mods on

a maserati

a couple of porches

oh and the Moonraker house (roger moore's old gaff)

Aren't we sad?! We go on holiday to get away from it all and take pictures of Land Rovers  :lol:

I'm just as bad. When we talk about holidays, I immediately think of safaris, laning, etc. "Yes dear, I'd love to go away for a weekend. How does North Wales sound? We can go in the 110." The reply is best not printed here  :shock:  :lol:

See, told you so!! But women just don't understand, do they?  :lol: Having said that, Sarah has taken to her Freelander and is really pleased she didn't get a Yaris, so there's hope yet!

They drive fine and are reliable beyond belief. BUT...... boring! And I *really* hated that digital speedo in the centre. For goodness sake, putting it in the middle so it takes your eyes even further off the road is madness. The classic Mini was the last to do that and even that car lost the centre speedo back in 1986!

We also drove a Smart4Four. Excellent! Really felt well built with superb ergonomics. But to get the one we wanted was going to cost £11k  :shock:

So, I too, am glad we got the Freebie.

A couple of week's back we were in north wales, near corwen on the A5,
one hell of a lot of 90's with welsh farmer's i assume thinking who the hell is that waveing like a nutter.
but wifey was in charge of the camera so only shot's of sheep the only thing more in evidence than 90's

DM  :)
Cheer's.......DM

The first thing that you learn as a kid when you live in North Wales is how to change the wheel on the Landie , and the second is how to shear a sheep.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

erm, in defence of the Yaris, it is a great car for teaching people to drive..... and the service we have from the dealer is second to none............ but yes, they are boring :)

I prefer teaching in the Jimny and driving my Mitsi!!

When in Kefalonia a few weeks ago, the few things that turned my head were landies and the difference in the spec of the Samurais out there........... very very sad!! :)
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!
