I was once affiliated with Land Rovers!
 

This weekend it seems like a bunch of my old Army mates were posting pictures from 'Way Back When' and it's brought back a ton of good memories!

Here's a picture of me in 2003 with my Rover.

You have yet to see Zac's vid of one of the L R's being transported away from our camp site, but seriously, good to reminisce with bygone days, Rick

What's with the Pink Tinge ?
 

I too like to meet up with old Pals once in a while there is something comforting about reminiscing, I call it "The Waltons" syndrome.

Looking back with Rose coloured spectacles as my late father used to say, that is probably the pink hue in the photo.lol

Is that DPMs in a very sandy coloured country?

I still like landys :thumbs

A whipper snapper :lol

I was there for about 8 and a half months... Think we had DPM's for the first 3 months! :lol

The Land Rover has its place.
 

As a purely off road vehicle on a Farm or in the Military I think they belong there and are quite competent in that role.

As a day to day road vehicle I think they are noisy with a dreadful ride & steering. I have never owned one but driven several over the years - I have never felt an urge to own one.

The wipers seem to be a joke with very basic seating to boot, a work mate had one previously owned by the Queen Mother - it was only driven at Sandringham or somewhere similar it was an W reg or thereabouts with only 7k miles on the clock. Despite this he spent a fortune on the drive train, you needed a calendar to measure the 0-60 time, the radio at full belt was inaudible at 50 mph !!
