Mitsubishi - So far so good.........

Had my baby Shogun for 9 months now , and she's been impeccable.
( Touches wood several times ) . In retrospect if more funds were available at the time I would definitely have got the LWB Automatic .

Now Alko wheel bearings........weall know that's another matter.........

Nice. My Trooper 3.0TD was a stonkin' tow vehicle. More powerful than the Disco Td5 I had beforehand. (When I worked at LR). Richard B was offered the opportunity to buy Blue Ice and the 'Zu as a package deal but declined. Silly boy!

No need Codders Just go to www.pocuk.com and then to the technical forum, thank goodness I didn't get one of those

Well my car has been delayed by a few hours, a guy was killed at the docks in Zeebrugge earlier today so my car will arrive at 4am tomorrow, cleaned and polished and ready to collect at 11am. Booked in for 12noon for all accessory fittings, that could take some time

Then off to the boat for the weekend for some towing practice

P.S. Rodeo looks great, I conssidered the Trooper but Codders got me into the Landy

Yes very unfortunate, puts things in perspective really

Anyway now that is dealt with here is a funny to pass the time whilst waiting.

An Australian guy goes into a bar in the Greek Islands.

Jill, the Australian barmaid takes his order and notices his accent. Over the course of the night they talk quite a bit. At the end of the night he asks her if she wants to have sex with him. Although she is attracted to him she says no. He then offers to pay her $200 for the deed. Jill is travelling the world and because she is short of funds she agrees. The next night the guy turns up again and after showing her plenty of attention throughout the night he asks if she will sleep with him again for $200.

She figures in for a penny in for a pound - and it was fantastic the night before - so she agrees. This goes on for 5 nights. On the sixth night the guy comes into the bar. But this night he orders a beer and just goes and sits in the corner. Jill is disappointed and thinks that maybe she should pay him more attention. She goes over and sits next to him. She asks him where he is from and he tells her Melbourne. "So am I" she says. "What suburb in Melbourne." "Glen Iris" he says. "That's amazing" she says, "so am I - what street?" "Cameo street" he says." "This is unbelievable" she says, "what number?" He says "Number 20" and she is astonished. "You are not going to believe this" she says, "I'm from number 22 and my parents still live there!" "I know" he says "your father gave me $1,000 to give you!"

He who drinks Australian - thinks Australian!

A useful and honest report (I think) on the Defender 90 can be seen in the link below :-

http://www.lrm.co.uk/archive/Defender/90%20Hardtop.html

It certainly is a classic vehicle and will always have a place in motoring history

"It is a no-nonsense vehicle for no-nonsence people"

You mean you are telling me only NOW that I have taken the advice of a nutter when paying out so much for a new car, and I am getting it tomorrow

Have I been 'fitted up' ?
