You Sir, have impeccable taste!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much

I am now in the process of looking for a nice Haflinger to complete the set.

You're welcome!

A Haflinger would fit nicely in with those! As would a BV, albeit that would be a tracked, square, green vehicle. Do you mind me asking where you bought your Pinz from? I've always fancied one since working with 16 Air Assault a few years ago.

I would quite like a Hagglunds BV206 but they are a bit on the long side for messing about in the forest and tracked vehicles do require a fair bit of extra maintenance.

I bought the Pinz through a private sale from a chap in London who had imported it direct after it was released from the Swiss Army reserve. Try and buy an ex-Swiss or Austrian army vehicle which have excellent maintenance history rather than ex-Malaysian vehicles which don't.

Keep an eye on MILWEB good Pinzgauers come up for sale there fairly regularly.

New on the left, old on the right. You don't have to spend a lot, but it does take e few months to find low mileage and rust-free.
Not tried the RAV4 off-road yet, still to fit some BFG ATs.

This is my 04 defender td5, its pretty standard:
Egr removal
Full straight through, cat removed
Dynachip remap
And all that can be seen externally:

And yes she does get dirty:

My series 3 lightweight circa 20 years ago when I was active with Pennine land rover club and NORC. Unfortunately when our sons came along both time and money constraints meant having to pack in. Had 5 great years competing in her. I also used to use it as my daily drive most of the time, many hours spent spannering on the drive (no garage), keeping it road worthy after a weekend competition.

Our old Discovery 2 TD5.


And the V8 that is replacing it.

looks good, what tyres and lift are you running?

[Disco3Steve]

Here's my new ride, picked up from the dealers on New Years Eve

Won't be long before it gets muddy!

Great to look through some of these, thought I would share a few of mine.

My 3 day old Disco 3


I ran out of "skill" on this, took 4 vehicles to winch me out. Without a scratch!
This photo made it on the front cover of Landrover monthly - my claim to fame!!!


The aftermath


Another toy I built


The wifes daily run about

My New to me G, replacing a long list of Defenders. Having new bumpers and bits fitted plus putting some bigger alloys on..... Only 16" though with some decent tyres, not the usual Gg upgrade to 22"s haha

[scrwright]

Latest in a long line of Jeeps, v8 Grand this time. Better on juice than I expected, currently doing 22mpg commuting in it. Fitted a 3" IRO lift & JK Wrangler alloys

Like the buggy, presumably 2wd, might be worth fitting grab handle for passenger, if you hit tree branch or roll it, might not end well for guy holding on to roll bar!

[Tam_Mullen]

Just bought my first off-road toy. Joined the local club and have the old mans tractor and trailer to get it around!

3.9i V8, Auto 'box, lifted 2" (I think), sumo steering bars, braided hoses, proper HD bumpers and diff guards amongst other things.

Got it mega cheap as the front diff is currently buggered (cross shaft snapped)

Hi all.

Just starting to dip my toes into PH after lurking for quite a while.

As well as getting some offroad use, this is my daily drive. The perfect vehicle for commuting on Edinburgh's dreadful roads.



Cheers - David.

Let me in !
