Oh Gawd, another Pot Noodle eater! Only joking!
I own a Landy, I have a wife who owns horses, a daughter who owns horses and has just finished being a student. I am so broke, the president of Bolivia phones me up and says "How are you doing, Skinty McPoor, the poorest person outside South America?"

Does that count?

Land rover owner - check
Student - check
Broke - nope

And no I don't need any help sorting out that last one thank you very much. 12 months industrial placement does the balance the world of good.

hey knew there were more than just a few of us.

Whats everyone studying or studied for you old timers :lol:

I'm in the 2nd year of my automotive engineering degree

i guess it really doesnt help my money that im entering the landy rally in summer  :lol: aswell as entering uni, and wanting to do the mac4x4 next year,
before you say it, yes i am daft  :lol:


not daft m8, i wanted to enter mine but my landys one of the very common landys that demands money to fix things. so instead of entree fees and a new winch i had to replace the engine

thinking crousirre blanche next year tho :-k :D

whilst i'm thinking (doesnt happen alot), a MC student event would be cool, been thinking bout trying to get sponsorship from the uni for events etc.

I'm a student (1st yr automotive engineering at leeds uni), own 3 1/2 rangies and am usually broke until i earn some money, then spend it again.
Doing a year out didn't help that much, all it means is my earnings are invested in LR's  :lol:

go talk to you local indian restuarnt become friends with them, then get their used cooking oil as it is the cleanest used stuff there is, get the uni to give you some personal space to do things and start filering the cooking oil, halves the price of fuel, plus alot of what people say about cooking oil is nonsence  ;) it works in a 200tdi, and then if the fuel pump on mine does break i have saved enough moeny to buy a brand new one meaning i can up the amount of cooking oil i use :lol:

you could also get a part time job?

cheers kieran

3rd year, mech eng.  Money's tight but its not the landy that's the problem, generally that works pretty well and is cheep and easy to fix.  The van on the other hand is giving me real grief and it has to work for the summer!
