Last day in Scotland so we went for a walk down to Ardverikie Estate which is where Monach of the Glen was filmed, a the drive up to the main house is a mile long surrounded by over mature firs, pines and spruce! It is home to the largest inland beech in the country. The house played host to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for a whole month before she bought Balmoral. The house was built in 1870 Well worth a visit Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Cheers Samuel, I like nice things and will search for months and travel the whole UK for the rite vehicle. This one I flew to Slough to collect and what a beauty she is. I got her home and put the Micky Thompsons on then ordered all the chrome, bug deflector and roof rack (the quietest most aerodynamic on the market) two tuff cover seat covers and that's how she is today. When I got her home I was trying the 4x4 system only to find there was an issue with it :-( this is gona be expensive I thought to myself! I took it down to Toyota in Gateshead and the people there could not believe how clean and mint it was! The Japanese lady who had owned the Hilux since new had had it serviced on the same day at the same garage every year! Wow! 4x4 system I was told was not engaging due to a pipe not being correctly fitted at the factory, he went on to tell me that it must have never been into 4WD!!! Truly amazing! I have had it for 6 months now and I am only selling it as I miss my RR Sport too much! Anyone wanting this is getting a true gem! Especially as it had only covered 46000 miles since new and I would say 2 of those miles in 4WD Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

All land rovers now are rated at 3 ton, I'm off to see a D-Max after your post Johny Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

I worked for Colin when I first left college. A very hard man to work for but still have huge respect for him and what he did in his life. I just wish I had known him as a friend rather than an employee. He really set the standard which I have stuck to in business, I think if I had not worked for Colin I would not be where I am today Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Yesterdays job, raise a mature lime to allow 4m clearance from ground level and crown thin by 10%. Remove one wind blown limb from cherry. All carried out by the wet weather specialist - Mr P Banister Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Or the Liberator! If only they had more room in the cab, and the driving position was more central to the steering wheel, and you could opperate the handbrake if you are lucky enough to have two legs, and not to have your leg wedged up against the window winder and steering wheel which stops you from openpning the window, and the ride quality, and and and..... Dont think ill be buying a defender anytime soon although that said they do look awsome! Rant over think ill buy a RR Sport
