Out & About. Wednesday 15th February
« on: February 15, 2006, 14:27:59 »
Been as it says 'out & about' this morning, not far

One thing I did see was my old 50th Discovery is still for sale & has been re-plated now back to the re-issued (original) number.

On one small unclassified side-lane that I stopped on (surfaced, not a byway, or RUPP) was that all the Sheep in the field congregated (or came running) by the wall as I got out.

Is this a phenomenon that other Series/Defender drivers suffer??

(perhaps they heard that Welsh postman talking on the Ken Bruce show :lol:  :lol: )

I've had this happen before when I had the previous 110, we were up on Stake Moss

Remember the story about the garage that had damaged stock & thought they'd got vandals until a staff member saw a Ram butting its reflection in car doors???
