And tonight I drove it for the first time. Fourteen months to get this far and still plenty of assembly to do.

Revisited Claerwen and Elan Valley a month later, a truly lovely place to be. A long journey from Bedfordshire in a Series though.

Finally down to East Horsley in Surrey for a spot of camping and a trip to Brooklands


Series tailgate makes a great stove table biggrin

A couple more from the HBLRO TYRO I did with my son, and a friend with his son. Embarrassingly enough I came last....paperbag

That's the one - yes. Great fun, waiting for the final results to see just how we did.

Back in the LR camp with a chav Range Rover. Everything is smoked, wheels are ugly and has a few small issues with usual rear arch rust/central locking/air suspension/anti rollbar.

Looking into a set of steels with chunky off-road tyres this time round instead of the 50p shaped 20s I had on the last one.

Have it a few weeks.
Got it for my dear wife.

2011 L322 with the Ford twin turbo 4.4 V8 diesel motor.
Nara Bronze.

Can't stop driving it. It's just a nice thing to spend time in.

Kids love it, told them it is a brown tractor.
"Oh daddy look, a tractor like mummy's in blue"



I hope I'll always have a good land rover from now on, a good piece of engineering.

My first Land-Rover, 88" Series One.
Apparently it is still in use...would love to meet up with the current owner.


A slippery rock caused it to slide off from straddling the ruts so we had to get the hi-lift out to do some digging.
Those tyres (Super Mud Pluggas) were great for laning but terrible on wet roads.

Spot of comfy off roading rather than being thrown about in a deafener.
Plus it had a set of 80” front wings strapped down in the back.

Fresh duratrac tyres going on it tomorrow morning.

This popped up on my desktop wallpaper, a row of Series Ones at Red Wharf Bay last June trying to get the Guinness record for making the outline of a Land-Rover. A fabulous weekend in the sun with great people.



Our 88" is in the foreground, the row seen is part of the roof.

Flew back to the UK 2 weeks ago, 12 hours after landing I had picked this up - 2009 TDV8 on 110k miles for 6k.

Gave it some new brake disks, pads and tires, and have done 2000 faultless miles in it, Including a mini euro tour to Paris, Amsterdam and Brugge.

Everything works on the car and its even managed 29.8mpg so far!

i have now probably put the kiss of death on the poor thing, but very happy so far!

Just got back from a simulated game shoot today, where we witnessed the awesome sight of a wild Range Rover hunting a herd of Defenders...
