  1. old dude today was telling me about where he grew up, i knew the house and told him we took a large beech tree down there next to the carpark lastyear, he said when he moved away from there nobody on the street even had a car..! he was amazed how fast the chainsaw was cutting and everytime the chipper fired up he shuffled to the window to watch. nice old guy.. but then most of them are if you are ok with them

  2. fourtracks have about 2inch of suspension travel at the rear, and no springs at the front. this confuses me.. if you do get one then get big soft tyres to undulate with the bumps! having said that i know one near dumfries for sale if you are interested, but it did get stuck in soft sand haha when the landy on road slicks had no probs at all. (get a disco 200/300 they are both good):thumbup1:

  3. If someone said to me, "gun down these 1000 people or I kill your Wife", I would gun em down without hesitation. Why? Because it's my Wife.

     

    I would do worse than hitler to save my Wifes life if that's what it took.

     

    i just found a cheap way of turning you into my personal hitman.. im struggling with 1000 people, can you just do the odd one here or there?:thumbup:

  4. throw the book at the landowner.. drugdealing scum, preying on innocent people to meet his needs, getting trees that are tpo'd and dont belong to him butchered.. hypothetically of course..

  5. Yeah a disco could probably be found for that price- almost certainly a 200tdi, which is one of the best engines that landy ever made IMO.

     

    shh dont encourage people to buy up the 200tdi's, theres going to be none left by the time mine goes bang..!:thumbup:

  6. i'd get a 300tdi disco if i had that money to spend, they really will take the abuse, oh and the dogs love the electric windows in the back. not sure of the top speed as mines rolling on remoulds so not been over 110mph, thats about twice what my suzuki ever did.

  7. i will never buy a new car again, its so disapointing coming back to extra dints etc, had an 18mth old car hit by a reversing lefthand drive lorry who pushed it into the volvo behind and pushed that into car behind in a line of parked cars outside where i used to work, needless to say he didnt stop.. lastyear a clown in one of them softroader type jap trucks swerved into my lane on a dual carriageway ripping his wing nearly off on the landy(i guess my plastic arch crumpled so he hit tyre), i was in a good mood so didnt even stop to check it and there was barely a scuff when i got home.:thumbup:
