That’s a nice looking 110, loving the wheels? Is that an 86? Can’t quite see the Reg in the pic ?

What's made you grumpy today?

The wheels are Rader, a German aftermarket company. I sold it a few weeks ago to www.classicmarques.net and they still have it on the forecourt if you want it, (it's back on it's original reg. MX12)
This'll be the first winter for years that I hav'nt had a 4X4, just the Panda on her new UltraGrip8's
(I'm looking for an old Series Land Rover at the mo)

Defender's are epic. Here's a silly demonstration of how they can be used...
Educational Value: 0
Entertainment Value: Priceless.
Actually saw the same type of Audi at my Fiat dealership, colour and all!

The bonnet bulge is to fit the ford engine so unless later bonnet fitted unlikely to be 1986 .
I was looking at the reg not the bonnet, these things are largely interchangeable on land rovers, I had an 86 Range Rover with an Isuzu engine which required a large bonnet bulge to fit so I don’t assume anything. As posted above though the car is a 2012 model and currently for sale....
I’m tempted but the wife would kill me, it’s a nice car though.
There is a 90 (2014) down the road from me for sale and that’s £22k and seriously tempting, only thing about that one is it’s a van
I happen to have a 109inch diesel series III, first reg sept 76 so eligible for historic road tax, on galvanized chassis that needs refurb. Van top and truck cab.

Located in Gloucestershire.
It's a 2012 110 Utility Station Wagon. I was'nt a big fan of Land Rovers but bought a 61 plate 90HT so I could claim the VAT back. My previous vehicles were estate cars or Jeeps (with rear seats and windows) and my accountant recommended that I went for the Defender commercials.
As I found out though (after I'd sold it, and this made me very grumpy) the Wrangler had a 3500kg towing ability so could have been regarded as a VAT-reclaimable commercial. This also affects the taxation class, as noted on V5's, which lowers the road tax paid but this, in turn, then gives the insurance company an excuse to wind up your premium. More grump inducing regulations.
Apart from being a bit lacking in the build quality department Defenders turned out to be the best working 4X4's I've had.

If you got 30k kicking round somewhere you could put it towards one of these classics...

Paying £3.20 in Starbucks for a 'Green Tea Latte', sounds nicer than it actually is. Basically they've taken green tea leaves, added a lot of powdered sugar somewhere in the mix, and can't say I'm too happy with the finishing product. Yuck.

Their coffee isn't much better.
About to cross the road in Newark Lincolnshire and above the button a sign, a ridiculously PC sign, please wait for the green FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!! Surely to add all those was not a good use of what will reportedly be the overstretched purse.
Amen to that. Did try their normal tea too, it was alright but it wasn’t ‘£2 a cup’ good!
A moment when on the way back from dominos at a reasonable pace to keep my tea warm I remembered mid corner that a Citroen C3 does not corner comfortably the same speed as a Mazda 3.
The car and the pizza survived...note to self..the rocket sofa does not corner.

thick kids on facebook Punto Enthusiasts group that think if you fit a lower mileage engine to a car its perfectly fine to clock the car back to the mileage of that 1 used part. :nutter:
Electric Push Bikes - in Northern Ireland they require DVLA registration, tax, insurance and a motorcycle license.
Not even joking.
6 points on your license if you’re caught. MUST be on the road, illegal on cycle paths...
