While I was 'away' this arrived :





Dubbed 'Serenity' after the ship from Firefly (Also have River and Jane as 2 devil ducks). More pics in my gallery of the first round of repairs.

She needs a bit of TLC but nevertheless its my first Land Rover. I have a list of things to do and we made plans on what was next. Bit of wavering over which car had to go, but the Audi is going. Alison wants to get used to Offroading and learn how to do it and we figured getting there in a smaller car like Rabbit would be a good idea. plus we'll never get what she's worth if we sell her. Also means we can go laning on our own with the 2 :)

First up, new floor and boots! :)
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Havent decided yet :) Was thinking AT2s again same as the Suzuki as it'll be doing a lot of road miles. I think Trac Edge are similar tyres though arent they?

Sort of, the centre section is road biased and handling on road is  good, but it has serious shoulder cleats that work well in the soft stuff like MT's, got TracEdges on the 110, very good on that too!
