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 :!:

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:

Can we have a "green lane" cortege then, although us in Northamptonshire could only die between May and September of course.
