Good question :lol
Some wee bits, get the towbar refitted (Daemo had taken if off as the bumper uses the same mounts), got roof rails with hi lift mount to fit and planning to get an ex army ammo crate to use as HD roof storage, want to get a swing away, Daemo sent me away with a few bits including an nice LED reversing light... the list grows! :sly :lol
Big shout out to Daemo, what a great guy, have me a whole bunch of spares and parts away with me :bow
R.I.P Foxy!!!!!
I'll never forget you girl, you'll always be sexy to me :(

I'll never forget her either... it's just time for us to go our separate ways.
Foxy and I made some great memories though! :)

Looks so good!
Will be parked outside my house shortly :thumb2
Only why Rob visit's on his way back home though :lol

Very nice looking motor. :thumb2 Wow, older than mine... but doesn't look it lol.:thumb2 2" lift looks like it was built that way, very neat indeed. That model trol looks really tough, I drove one once on a 4x4 safari trip in Tenerife.
If you want National Trust stickers, easy to get, if you are a member, just ask for one for your second car lol :augie:augie:augie
However, their use has changed this year, you now need to use your membership card to get a "Free" car park ticket from all the new ticket machines they have installed.
They closed that loophole lol.
Rustic
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
Love that thing!
I'm so glad your happy with her, hope you have many years offroading together.

Perhaps we should have a competition to have our trucks photoed at as many members houses as possible lol...
If Rick enters it, he would probably win lol...:clap But only if different trucks lol. I know a certain young man who probably had his own parking space there. :lol:lol
I wonder if anyone has kept in touch with Alex, I genuinely changed my name to 'Uncle" Rustic for him, I put an arm around his shoulder like an "Uncle" would, and gave him loads of advice, mostly on safety, maybe too much lol.
Anyhow, Zippy will be happy, more pics lol.:thumb2

Says the lad who has never been stuck... :rolleyes:
Apart from scratches from undergrowth most of the panel damage Foxy ever got was from laning with you :lol
Barrbeast
05-03-2017, 15:53
I've been stuck in water, flooded the interior and had to winch out, it's not a sequence of events I plan on repeating with the 4.2 (famous last words :augie).
I'm still going to have fun with my truck though ;)

nice, so if other was foxy, is this one wolfy? Citizen Rob?
Looked like it was made to live on my drive :lol
Wouldn't have minded that myself, lucky man.

:lol Think this one is going to be Bess.
The 3.0 Y61 was sleek and "foxy", the 4.2 is more of a lugging, dependable draught horse in my eyes so "Bess" (when I was younger we once hired a horse drawn caravan for a week with a carthorse called Bess)
I swear vehicles respond better when you name them! :augie ;)

I agree there, I never give my vehicles female names, my car is my bro and he's always got my back!!! I entrust him with my life and he gets my to my journeys and destinations, he tows what I tell him to and in return for his services I buy him the best parts I can afford and devote as much time and effort that I can spare him.
Terrance and I have a great partnership :naughty

Craig min, you're as bad as Zac :rolleyes: :lol
There was a functional reason for taking the bumper off the Y61 (it kept catching) and some of the arches got "removed" before I took the rest off.
Bess has steel bumpers and I couldn't take the arches off even if I wanted to as they form part of the metal wing ;)

Good luck with the new truck mate, looking forward to seeing it :thumb2
It looks to be in pristine shape.
Has it ever seen a bit of mud?

Still in the Club, to be able to look at and admire, that's brilliant!
As Blocky said, we have a chance to see & hear the truck in the flesh.
Well done Rob!:thumb2

So where did foxy go to in the end mate?

Didn't get quite high enough, probably largely due to not having much mot so she's been in the garage getting her ticket.
I'll pick her up on Saturday and drop her to the farm then give her a proper hoover out since all my kit is now out of her and get her back up for sale.
Garage said they'd be doing her on Monday and would call if there was any big issue (have told them before just to sort any minor problems). Not received any call so fingers crossed! :eek:

Ah right, good luck then!! Mine needs mot too, I'll weld the sills up then hopefully back on the road.

Or because it was missing a rear bumper and wheel arch trim :nenau :nenau :lol

Horses for courses bro but the mot will have made more difference than anything else.
