Was down looking at the 2 unimogs and the rangerover which we've acquired in a land deal, and am starting to wonder if I've got too many vehicles:

2 x Unimog 404 (one for restoration, one for parts)
1 x RangeRover Classic (1979, needing restoration)
1 x Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed
1 x Ford Transit Mk V, ex police van
1 x Yamaha FJR 1300
1 x BSA M20 1942 dispatch rider's bike (still in army green)
1 x Suzuki DR 350
1 x Suzuki GN125
1 x Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace
3 x Yamaha FZR400 3EN2 (one track bike, one project (3tj swing arm and R6 forks) and one for spares)

If you are enjoying owning and using them, then you still don't have too many.

Yes, you do have too many. I'm being forced into selling my off road Disco for the funds to develop my garage.

So, make us both happy, give me the rangie. hehe

You appear to have a lot of vehicles with not enough wheels.

Bikes don't count as they can be stuffed into corners and corridors or the back of the transit. So you have 5 vehicles that qualify which isn't enough by far biggrin

The 2 unimogs are always the ones that seem to get the most attention when talking about my fleet smile

As a more serious follow up to my earlier cheeky post. Would you consider selling the rangie? If so, pm me some detail if you can. smile

I have my daily runner (4 months old) and a 42 year old classic and my wife has her daily runner too (2.5 years old).

I'd like to get hold of a rolling project - a Ranger Rover, Defender or Disco but she has put her foot down saying we have too many vehicles as it is and that a 4th is too expensive.

I disagree, an old landy will be cheap to keep and maintain and is useful for lugging large stuff in.
I was sent to Ikea by er' in doors to pick up a couple of cheap bookcases last week, 2 hour round trip and Dartford Crossing fees and I came home empty handed as they wouldn't fit in the car.

I of course used this as a prime example of us "needing" forementioned landy wink
