Title: Talked my Dad into it!
Post by: Singlefin on April 06, 2006, 11:04:21: Have managed to talk my Dad into getting a landy, and more importantly, he's talked Mum into letting him get one. He's found himself a nice Defender 90 300tdi, but he can't pick it up till May :?

I'll be sure to point him this way!

Post by: Lee_D on April 07, 2006, 00:50:04: Best advice.... tell him to spray oil on the drive now and blame it on the old car..that way your Mum will never suspect it's a Landrover thing.

:wink:
