Been there too Zip, how's the caravan trade doing, there's plenty on the roads. Do you or are you allowed to do your own servicing out of work times.
If so and you were closer, I would be interested.

Afternoon folks. Right, justy a quickie for now, my names is Dave, and I've got to go out on one of my vehicles, which you'll notice don't particularly belong in a 4x4 club.

But I'm thinking of getting a Terrano. I'll beback later to say a bit more.

Cheers,

Dave.

Mine especially, as it's only got two wheels.

I do have a spare set with some knobblies on, but never got round to trying them. It's meant to be a trail bike, but at 1100cc and pushing 500lb, it's a bit of a handful in owt slippy. Might get some new knobblies later, give it a try this year if we get the white stuff.

But I'm hoping to get a Terrano first... A girlfriend of some years back had one, a 2.4 petrol five door, and as she was sick of driving everywhere, put me on her insurance. As I'd learned to drive in a Land Rover, I was immediately at home in the 'tank' as she called it. (Actually the first thing I learned to drive was a tank, the L/R came a few years later.

)

It was nice an comfy, got a good view of things as I'm used to on a big bike, and in spite of her making a point of telling me that 'Such a large, high vehicle can turn over easily', I think I took the first corner a bit faster than she liked, I never came near to any acrobatics with it. Though the rear-wheel drive did take me by surprise as it skipped when I floored it out of a roundabout; I'd just assumed that the two-wheel option would be via the front...

Anyway, I'm looking for one. I'm after a diesel, and because I'm a Yorkshireman, probably a pre March 2001 version, as they're cheaper to 'tax'. I've been watching them on ebay for a while, and there seem to be a lot of decent ones (and a few dogs) in my price range, up to about 2k.

I'm not too concerned with mileage, as I doubt many people can stress a 2.7 diesel, and the fact that it has chain-driven cams is a bonus. I mainly want it for commuting to work in winter; as I do agency driving at the moment, I could have to go anywhere within a 50 mile radius. Not good on two wheels on cold, dark and slippery winter's mornings. Or similar evenings, as I found out on the Yam earlier this year.

I'm not fussed about colour, though the Red or Green ones I think look better. And as my current 'girlfriend' is wanting to get into motorcycle gymkhana, a tow bar would be useful.

Reason I've joined the forum? Well, there's a similar set-up for the Beemer, 'UKGSers', and suffice to say their £12 membership is possibly the best £12 I'll spend in a year. So I know from experience how good/useful such a forum can be. And some of the comments I've read suggest this one is up to the standard of the GSer's. So yes, I'll be paying my £10 on pay-day...:

Right, all for now, work in the morning and I hear my bed calling...
