I get to play off-road when I want
I get to spend what I want on the car
I get to watch Discovery channel when I want
I get to come home late and covered in mud and not get nagged
I get to go to the pub when I want
I get to clean bits of the engine in the dishwasher
Nobody minds the various bits of car sitting around the flat

I'm sure there must be a downside somewhere....

Erm, where's the "I'm female and the Landy's MINE" choice????


You tell 'em Janie!

As for Bob696...   he can wait till I get home!  :twisted:

Besides, I'll spill the beans on how mechanically inept he can be at times...  How do you use a grease gun Bob?

I love him really, (wonder if I can get him to finish my electrics this weekend?)

The secret is to start as you intend to go on.

Never buy flowers. You'll spend the rest of your life buying flowers.

And BOY are you in trouble when you don't buy the flowers.

You've obviously done something wrong when you don't buy them.

I bought my other half a 54 plate TDCI 130 Ghia Mondeo so she can't use the "I have no transport when you go offroading" excuse. Only trouble is that I had to sell my beloved Shogun to pay for it !.

SWMBO encouraged me to get a Landie after she did an off road course (free with her first Frontera). I was going to gete a classic sports car!!

She was'nt too keen on m=y S3 but likes my Rangie, she has agreed to me getting a Disco soon ( I might get a Defender) tee Hee!! :P

She likes her Frontera, it has had a gentle off road only cos its new and shiny and leased!!! :twisted:

Ok so I am actually a girlie I know but I would just like to say that if Johnty comes on here and tells you I restrict him in any way he is a big LIAR!!! In fact I encourage him as I enjoy the off roading etc. myself. We now have three landys, one of them belongs to me and I am looking at purchasing a new one to replace my mondeo in the new year so I think I can be classed as one of those who is not a SWMBO and I thoroughly object when Johnty calls me one!  :P
