A step to far?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

A step to far?

Post by andyrew » Thu Jun 15, 2017 5:08 pm

I bought a land rover

I really like my land rover, almost love it in fact.

I've spent nearly twice what I paid for my land rover fixing it.

Now I've been approached with a job offer I've excepted. For a job building diff's , tboxs and gearboxs.....

For Land rovers.

Forgive me Scottie for I have sinned.

:lol: sounds like a good job tbh

They are all built to such loose tolerances it should be a doddle :lol:

And well as Robbie says there will always be work coming in.

We can forgive you......well as long as you don't get brainwashed into thinking that they are better than the mighty :suzuki:

But they *are* better! For making a living fixing them, they are much, much better! :tongue:

Guessing I should block your number, delete it and pretend you no longer exist.

Congarts on the new job though bud.

This is good advice, as they are very heavy and might squish you.

Andy - any chance that I can bring my SJ to you sometime soon?
