tooquicktostop Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just purchased this, I am taking some time off from working so needed a new toy as the TVR is away for the winter now, its a V8 Landrover 90 with some trick off road bits, I have never been any good at going fast so I thought I would go dirty instead [GRIN][/GRIN] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that shifts !

tooquicktostop Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Went to look at the new paint job today and it has taken years off the Landy, Will be a week to add the parts back onto the car and I will post pics then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Went to look at the new paint job today and it has taken years off the Landy, Will be a week to add the parts back onto the car and I will post pics then Look forward to seeing it! I keep toying with the idea of a 90. It'd have to be a diesel though. Either a 300 or a TD5. Only draw back being I'm quite wide. And Landy's generally aren't. And my elbow would get wet when it rained as I'd have to have it poking out of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V8 is silly on fuel, good job its a toy, you are right on the elbow room, a mate of mine drove mine and ruled it out as the right arm elbow room is "zero" without the window open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as capable, bit more comfy and looks the nuts on 33" Grizzlies with a 2" lift and a snorkel. Bet the V8 sounds the nuts though! Have you been for a play in the mud yet?

Oh yes, took it to windscreen water/mud, had to hose the inside out, no issues but the clean up was interesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, petrol station's don't like it when you use their jet washes either. I fitted my snorkel a few months back and went down a local lane. It was dark. Big, water filled hole. It got darker as the headlights disappeared. Great fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 even better when your knees get wet lol ! Ha. Another benefit of having a vehicle where the doors fit and the rubber seals work! Lol That said, when the water's really deep, the big, air tight arse end of my surf has a tendancy to float!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
