new members reporting for duty

Hello

We are Wes and Claire the new owners of a 07 SE td4, named her Myrtle.

We've always been into landies, we have the disco 2 this also moves the Lurcher Albion about and we have a 1975 lightweight for when we fancy the challenge of reaching our destination. The Lightweight was a wedding present - don't most newly weds get pots & pans!!!

Live just outside Guildford and know a funny story about a disco 2 and a four foot corn snake ,those are the most important facts covered!
All the Best

Hi wes & claire and Myrtle,

I have an airportable too! Mines a series III, 1974, ex RAF search & rescue and Ive had it 12 years now. I think you will find the Freelander 2 a lil more comfortable, but just as much fun, good choice Thumbs Up

It's good to see another enthusiast for older Land Rover models, as well as new ones, on here. I'm getting excited about monday week - a new arrival is expected! Sadly, my lovely old FL1 TD4 is going to have to go in part ex; we've had some brilliant adventures and I'll miss it.

I've never named any of my cars - how on earth did you arrive at Myrtle!!!

Dudes

Didnt expect to find a lightweight splinter faction here! mines a 1975 Royal Marines GS now enjoying semi retirement as summer plaything and variable velocity smoke and noise machine.

As for the name I dunno she just seemed like a 'myrtle' Wes and Claire

Hello Upnaway dude

Another lightweight man to add to the splinter faction!

A lightweight will not : go well
stop well
steer well
A lightweight will : get bent all out of shape
drink fuel like ollie reed
breakdown loads

All in all a real man car go and buy one!

Cheers
