Love my new Nissan - my second, don't go off road but it's great for picking up supplies and towing boats!

Forgot to say EURO 20,000 is a second hand price for a HUMMER
NISSAN looks cool!!

Jono tuchy are we??

Still, FREELANDERS (in my opinion - and since you think I know nothing about 4x4s you don't have to listen to it) are toy cars to do possibly your shopping with at TESCOs or WAITROSE (all trendies go there lolol) or take your dogs for a ride (if these 4x4s can get over a steep hill without having to go down to 1st gear LOLOL ).

Get a LAND or RANGE ROVER!! GREAT JEEPS

Call that modified?..

Well we can take old Willys chassis and totally bursted and making 4x4 racing vehicle out of it, ofcourse this is extreme modification which is quite popular over here to do

[Jono]

Coooool....!!

All that lovely volcanic ash to play in! Have you seen the bikes they use? The ones with the motocross frame, 2 metre long swinging arm and GSXR1100 engines? fantastic...lethal, but fantastic.

Read my post. I have a 110 now. I have had Rangies, 88's 109's 127's 101's 110's 90's Bowler's et al.... I have had Freelander in places that none of the others would go without "extra help" ARBs Etc in standard trim with the exception of the tyres (Mud terrains-I swear by 'em). Small size and electronic trickery has it's place!

Respect that different vehicles for different uses. Wouldn't want to try and pull a horse box with one, but wouldn't try and get on a multi story with me 110 either...

P.s without the sale of Freelanders there wouldn't be any Defenders produced.

Rant over!

JONO for your info visit their website www.4x4.is and you will find oceans of information and pictures.

[Manos]

Jono just joking mate. But Freelanders are toys really

[Jono]

Excellent action pics. Unfortunately my Icelandic is a little rusty, any pics of bikes?
Cheers, jono

Well I certainly didn't expect a new one for that! - so where are they Manos?

PS. More stickers to go on before the season starts!

[Manos]

A friend of mine actually gave me the info a month a go. They are for sale in FRANKFURT GERMANY.
If you want more details I can certainly find out for you.
They are really very cool looking Jeeps. Thinking for getting one for Santorini. That will make some heads turn.
But is just a thought until I have everyting ready and finances permit it

[Jon Brooks]

Icom Stickers would look good!!

[Manos]

Talking about stickers.

This going to be one. We've got more to come in a few weeks.

What do you think??

PS ICOM STICKERS are very wellcome if any are on offer. All boats have ICOM F402 DSC on

[bogib]

If the HUMMER´s are in Frankfurt those are most likely beeing ex military and needs a lot of modification and overhaul before they can be registered as civilian, also bear in mind they are much wider than normal cars and trucks. According to EU regulations they are if I remember right about 4 inches to wide. Icelandic rules allows this as we give fu*king sh*t to all EU rules and CE marks therefore you find loads of American cars and boats over here although not allowed in Europe until loads of bastards changes have been made to them.

[Manos]

bogib I think u r right. They are x military.
Not very much modification is needed. We are in greece. Here ministers get back handers from companies, they are found out that they fidle public funds, they do all shorts illigal things and they NEVER GO TO JAIL!!

Greece the signing example of EU de-regulation and anarchy!!

My other 4X4

NAh louise they've gone too. In any case they got arrested cause they didn't give a backhander.
In Greece (tthe 1st country amongst the most corup in the EU, the 1st country amongst the poorest in the EU, the 1st country with the worst buraucracy in the EU - can't complain we are 1st from the bottom in something) the appropriate backhander to the appropriate person/s can open any doors/avenues/motorways any thing you want.
There is no one in jails I'm affraid. They've all paid and they have gone!!
Here things are worst than in Italy.
Berluskoni in Italy and his governement are just learning and taking Phd level lessons from the the Greek Government and ALL the Greek politicians on how to cheat public funds, manipulate laws to suit your friends, make new laws to suit your circumstances, become a millionaire in a year, lie and decive the parliament (for this one there are another 2 or 3 people I know at least that they've done that. One is in the US, the other in the UK and another one in Spain ) etc etc the list is endless!!
But as you would expect and as it happens laws are there for nothing really. No one has gone to jail........... and they never will!

WELLCOME TO GREECE
