B) the practicality(spelling-like said earlier trooper owner!) a 90 doesn't seem to have much room for fishing gear etc.... does anyone find that?

Surely a 110 would a more appropriate replacement for to your 5 door Trooper?

Ah yes the proper 4.7 with the amazing 220bhp?

sounds like a true American engine that

Just thought I'd show you Landy owners what a proper 4x4 was, and what off-roading is like and what the 4wheel drive is for!

But you're only playing there. This is what it's really for...

trooperman 4x4 said:

The only thing that puts me off a 90 is....
the cost of buying one comapred to a newer SWB Trooper

That is because a 90 is better to start with and less likely to be a rusty old bag of nails

110 is just TOO big!

Really? No bigger than the LWB Trooper in those pictures surely?

I was at woodlands when you were there- Didn't see you Roaming where the Trooper went (The Black Runs!)-anyone can drive threw a puddle fast!

Your joking right, we were doing blacks 4 up !!

He is not kidding either ... i have video ... taken from the back seats .... The marshals were looking at Hughesie, then the tyres then going "how?" ... (and we were wraped in ginpalace climate controled, leather cushioned comfort too )

ahh yes my mistake .... Hughsie, you will be making sure that there is fresh lime for the G&T's in the bar won't you

Yeah fair suize bigger,. the wheelbase on the Trooper is bout 100 i think, and the over hang not too bad but the 110 overhang and size is shocking(probably wouldn't fit in the garage!

[petrol_noggin]

Now this is harcore- see vid in thread

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=330638&f=23&h=0

sorry Mike.

[trooperman 4x4]

were you alloys ok afterwards?
its more off-roading than most X5s see, I actually like the shape of the X5's

[petrol_noggin]

isn't mine, *thank god*

Fair enough does surprise me as they so look similar in size.

I must say that is a rather fine vehicle Quinny, although mine's dirtier

Prove it

You call that dirty??

THIS is dirty!





Range Rover Classic by name, classic by nature

[ehasler]

Quinny said:

Does that RR Classic go any higher when it's running?

There's no way it'd clear the ruts around here, mine drags it's belly in places and its been fitted with a lift kit

Yeah, it goes up as high as the P38s - mine had just broken a shock and one of the air springs was leaking so it was "resting" All fixed now though ready for another go on Sunday

[ehasler]

Quinny said:

Ahhh, a broken down Rangy, that's unusual

I drove home in it - that's not broken down

Anyway, I actually broke the shock on purpose to even things up for the other cars there

A cherokee off road, yesterday

And except for the roof, it's not even dirty!

Quinny said:

Someone's turned the picture upside down, it's actually carrying that hill on its roof

It must have bounced up there on that poor excuse for suspension

Edited by Petrol_Noggin on Monday 27th November 23:33

Quinny said:

Ahh yes suspension, probably the best bit of a RR, all that complicated air bags and electronics.

I'll let you know when I see one that sits level on a level road.
Don't hold your breath though cos it won't be in this lifetime

Very true, RR's should always been seen on uneven, off-road terrain

Of course, Jeeps always have to take it to the next level.......

I'm quite enjoying this. So what about a trip to North Wales.
Don't worry I've got plenty of recovery gear if you get into trouble.

It's in good condition to, never been used yet

The car or the gear?

I'd love a dirty weekend in Wales
