Title: Hearse
Post by: m0awb on October 11, 2004, 21:34:37: Did anyone see the news tonight?

Lady convinced the bank to fund her a brand new Defender 110 and have it converted into a hearse purely for Land Rover enthusiasts.

Apparently it didn't take much to convince the bank that there was enough demand for such a service among the LR community.

As much as I love em, not too sure I want a ride in that one just yet :!:

Post by: Vam on October 12, 2004, 11:10:33: Bit spooky for me really, earlier that day my eldest (aged 8) was asking if he could drive the landy when I was too old, (cheek!) so I told him no one else would "ever" drive her, and that I would proberally get buried in her :lol:

Later that night when we saw the news, he just grinned at me - in a kind of unnerving sort of way...

Should I be worried? :wink:
