After 18 months on order the vehicle I ordered at the start of Life Mk2 finally arrived . The Fl2 was primarily my late wife’s day to day car , but shod in decent ATR tyres made a wonderful shooting and fishing bus . I said bye bye to the FL2 in June 21 as I wasn’t going to throw money at tin worm . I’d been on the verge of cancelling the Toyota , and recently looked at Disco 4 and late FL2 to kit out . Yesterday I picked up the truck . Toyota honoured the pricing from 2021 despite the 10% in price increases since that date . The vehicle was also bought on the 2021 discount rate for BASC members (19% then 13% now ) . Given all that it look like I’ve got a couple of years depreciation free motoring .

I’ll still keep looking in on here as I’m very fond of the fl2 ( despite mine being s money pit ) it still remains one of the nicest all round cars ever made . Lovely to drive and capable of embarrassing much more expensive vehicles off road .

Would make a good caravan tow car for me but don't need the load bay. Fancied an Amarok but again pointless for my needs. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

We mostly sleep in the car, couldn't be stuffed putting up the tent. More so that the car is insulated & we have power at hand & can reach the fridge on the passenger seat. So for us its going to have to be an SUV. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The un-revealed part of my master plan is that once the bed gets the Gearmate drawer system , my new partner in Life Mk2 , will be worked upon until she gives in and I buy a nice little working cocker ,( I’ve even chosen a name and preferred colour ) then a travel cage will go in the back . My idea of sleeping under the stars is looking at the number of them engraved on a hotel nameplate . If God had meant me to rough it he wouldn’t have given me a credit card . Fair play if you like that sort of thing , but I’m more about rolling into the bar after a days fishing or shooting and seeing what’s on the menu ! 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

If you train the cocker well you won't have any time left or the inclination for all the other stuff in your dream. I warn you working cockers are addictive substances you will need another and another and another

This is quite scary 😧. I’ve now about to do exactly this same truck same colour same basc discount. Will be sad to see freelander go but need the boot space for dogs.

If you’re going to take the plunge , can I recommend the spray in bed liner to you . It’s brilliant , a substance called Line-X , get it sprayed as under rail then the rails receive a Venture Shield strip for the top to sit on . The finish leaves the bed as hose out , totally sealed , non slip , very rugged , miles better than a moulded liner that can trap things and scratch the bed with vibration . I know lead times have been reduced now . The BASC discount is unbeatable . You will actually pay Toyota Fleet directly , not the Dealer . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
