Ha! They even photoshopped the beach scene into the windows of the
bedroom picture. That's dedication.

I could buy all the houses between me and the end of the road for that
much..... <sigh>

That beast is 3 feet longer than my house....

That thing is nicer looking than my house, and probably bigger to boot!

heh, you remember too much Billy Ray !

Wrangler lives in Birmingham, Waggy and Disco in Edinburgh. I fly between
the two places each Monday and Thursday.

Were it not for the fact I did Classics at Uni, I guess I would be a
redneck
:-)

I don't think he knows where you live.

So you have three 4x4s and only one driver eh?

Don't know about your world, but here in the Boonies where I am you
would be forced to Special Order any parts other than an Oil Filter
and the parts are 3 times the price of comparable Jeep/Chevy/Ford
parts "IF" you can even get them!

Bought a Land Rover Discovery 2 4.0 v8 today, and should take collection
next week.
Would have gone for a Jeep for preference, but decided I couldn't live
without a Real Chassis.
Big axles and hub means its rated for 7800 lb towing, but IMHO I would
want
a longer wheelbase
for pulling that weight.
It doesn't drive like a truck at all - feels like a limo with its 18"
wheels, and electric everything
but it is for towing not offroading, so that's ok.

Still keeping the Wrangler - this gives me transport and time to fix the
Waggy.

We call them the "green wellie brigade". The upmarket hunting shooting
fishing women that look like the horses they ride and use phrases like
"awfully decent of you".

Ok, I know this is going to sound like sour grapes, but when I go on
holiday, there is NO WAY I am going to spend it a) driving around in or b)
sleeping in a bus. However nice it is !

Of course I was much younger at the time and thought it a great
adventure....
