Hi Brian

The Series 109 has a Safari/Tropical roof which is rare(ish) maybe 1:1000 has it. It's a great addition for high temp countries.

The 200TDi engine is a great engine but unfortunately it does vibrate a lot and is noisy compared to later diesel engines, however, they are a well thought of engine in the LR communities, bombproof. As for the r380 stick shift and the lt230, they are easily rebuilt yourself if you can find the time Robert, certainly no rocket science in them but don't forget to install a new clutch and slave cylinder when you tear them down. There are plenty of workshop manuals online for both.

You guys have some sweet rides. I love that tropical roof.

Finally grabbed a picture of the Dodge today after I got her running. Driving her home tomorrow after I add some safety to the new "fuel system" (a hose run into a 5 gal jug) and air up the tires.

Yeah, provided one likes rock, personally I hate it, lots of noise, posers with very little substance. Progressive rock died out with the dinosaurs but unfortunately it's been replaced these days with rap crap.

People here keep on about Johnny Halliday, WTF was he!!!, I had never heard of him until he died ............. now all you hear is his damned name .......... maybe time to move on in peoples minds I think.

I like the cows though, my kind of eeerr, animal.

Haha, time to record an album, fellas.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as rock anymore.you hardly hear guitar at all, and good luck finding anyone recording with real drums. There's some decent indie stuff out there (REAL indie, AKA independent from a label, not the genre) but islts hard to find and it's few and far between.

X1 ............. recorded music died some years ago now, it all appears to be electronic 'sampled' music by others of yesteryear and repeated over and over. Being a fan of modern jazz it's understandable now as at least it is near impossible to fake it live. Even modern singers 'mime' to the recorded songs, I suppose it's 'fake' like many things are today ............. well according to Trump ............ back to the garage junk now eh

Doesn’t get much better than Infant Sorrow, fronted by the immortal Aldous Snow.
