I picked it up today. Boy sure is different than the old cornbinder. DIL kept all the repair bills,,quite a few to my thinking. Standard trans,,tires are 1 yr old, fancy iron grill on the front and a huge stereo my son bought for her. He kept the old radio so as soon as he finds it I'll get it. Big 16" tires.
It's going to take me some time to get used to a standard. I did have a 57 chevy standard when I was young so I'll get onto this eventually.
A bit stiff shifting from high to low range and back, but that will work out.
My uncle had a 50's something rover that we used to take back into the mountains fishing, seems I recollect doing some long off road steep climbs at a walking pace in that thing. I stalled today when I tried low range for the first time.
I'm taking it to work tomorrow. There's one or two others from time to time in the parking lot.
So this weekend I'll spend time going over it a bit, making note of a few paint blems and other minor stuff. It'll go into Land Rover Calgary next Thursday for a checkup.
MYHOMESCAPE...Thanks for mentioning the off road trip that Land Rover is putting on in September. I think I'll have to learn how to drive this veh better
before I venture too far off road.
