Hi Richard

Thanks mate, Just like turning a page in a book and starting a new Chapter. Looking forward to the new change into Post War vehicles.

Cheers

Tony

Yes Tony, definitely a leper of the highest order.
You now have a vehicle with longer shortcommings
More joints a now needed between your wrist and elbow, and never tighten any bolts until you have the last one started.
Don't worry too much about what other people think about you (because generally, they don't)
you will enjoy your Rover.

Very good advice, and in your case Tony, having restored a WW2 vehicle to an extremely high standard, you have nothing to prove to anyone. You've done the hard yards and made your contribution to WW2 vehicle preservation, so you're well and truly entitled to update to something more practical and enjoy it just as much as you enjoyed the jeep. We are only custodians of our vehicles and sooner or later we must pass them on. However you must expect the Land Fill jokes to continue, because as I'm sure you know it's mandatory in Australia to "take the piss" at every opportunity!

Hey Little Jo - haven't posted for a long time but I was surprised - and a little worried - when I saw your great jeep up for sale. But glad things are okay! Someone said to me once - we never own our vehicles - we're merely custodians for the next person to enjoy. And a career Land Roverist - as it's turned out - great stuff! But be warned - you'll be the butt of Land Rover jokes in perpetuity. I turned up at our local tip with our Defender and a trailer load of rubbish asking the attendant where I need to dump stuff, " Green waste over there, metal over there, wood over there - and there's a special section up the back for Land Rovers..." Philistine - best wishes and congrats - Warren.

Now you can set up camp in your back yard, eat witchety grubs and yabbies and pretend to be the Bush Tucker man

Hello Tony,

Welcome to the ex-military Land Rover fraternity of Australia!

Here are two forums that might be of interest to you ...

The Registry of Ex Military Land Rovers
http://remlr.com/forum/index.php ... There is a devoted Perentie section there.

Or perhaps AULRO Australian Land Rover Owners http://www.aulro.com

I have some Series III Land Rovers.

Oh and a 1940 Australian Built by Holdens Chevrolet MCP truck

Kind Regards
Lionel
