Hello From Across The Pond! - Land Rovers Only

Skibum346 · 04-09-2008, 04:35 AM

Thought I'd add a bit of international colour to my life and join you boys and girls in this forum.

I'm an ex-pat Jock living in England who loves Landies and between my wife (SWMBO) and I we own three.

I love a spot of "greenlaning" a politically explosive activity due to the small size of our island and the limited space available to explore! Can't wait till I've saved up enough to come explore some off road areas in your back yard!

My one and only visit to the US was in the late 80's when I visited family in Mass. for a few days before hitch hiking up to Mt Washington.

Looking forward to talking V8's with you guys... the cost of fuel here makethem unpopular... most people prefering 200tdi or 300tdi machines.

All the best
