Strewth. Nice family runabout there Jack.

I have to pull up a couple of feet of leylandii hedge in the garden this weekend. Was going to use my Defender...

But I think I'm developing a complex already. May have to tell my wife we need something bigger...

Very nice Jack, so that's what you were doing at that military show the other week...

I hope you're storing it under cover !

Cheers

Hey. Drive it to your nearest Halfords and ask one of the spotty herberts on the "ICE" counter if their 'free fitting on stereos' offer applies...

I have to restore it first and then maybe it will go under cover. I do have a problem with the way people restore vehicles to a 'better than new' condition. It doesn't reflect the way they were, most vehicles that you see look in place in they were behind glass in a museum but look out of place in a 'show' environment. Mine will be on a 'operational' state.

It will be my removal truck as we are on the move!

Plenty of room for your billhook in that!
