    what a waste...

    Agree, doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, seems very ATGNI really... personally prefer simple and understated aesthetics to lend discreet presence without compromising functionality at all

    Forgive me for briefly diverging from funny 'pictures', but while we talking about leopards thought I'd share this and admit I can't help chuckling whenever I see it again... of course a different reaction if wasn't ultimately a happy ending despite looking very touch and go at one point...

    Newbie Question: Recovery Points

    Boats and project cars' (aka land-yachts lol) share a singular less appealing trait.... both very often veritable money pits, in fact one definition of a boat is 'a hole in the water that you dump all your money into' - completely understand re efficient allocation of funds... for now perhaps...

    Newbie Question: Recovery Points

    AFN or Ironman could be more winch-bar options for you... and probably too far away for you actually, but you might like to check out West Coast... I know they can get very busy at times but really just the nicest folk imaginable. ...and nope, categorically affirm & declare I have no...

    headlight bulb upgrade

    Ummm, by no means as expert as many of the other chaps here, so sure much valuable feedback will follow, but just a couple of points to reflect on... :):) what is the condition of the actual reflectors in your headlights, if they're faded or tarnished you'll already be losing light there, no...

    Which insurance company?

    Well, I had a complication of not having been insured in uk until we came back from Ireland 30 months ago.. so I only have 2 years recognised for no claims (immensely frustrating given not had accident or claim in over 30 years... touch wood!!! :fearful:) and just yesterday Endsleigh (my current...

    Hello, from the Southwest

    Just an interesting point for anyone interested... the central hoop I selected is NOT the 100 series AFN spec but actually their Navara fitting.. lower and so more discreet profile not to mention less un-aerodynamic lol... Appreciate the A-bar type look doesn't find favour with everyone, but...

    Hello, from the Southwest

    Just realised, I never did post a pic of the wee Beastie after the initial mods and light resto... have to say, albeit not inexpensive the lights were a brilliant choice, nicely discreet but totally turn night into day... and is another mantra carried on from my Dad, always insisted 'You really...

    Big US 4x4 meets stationary object…not good

    Most are even WORSE than that... they actually wait ages until you're almost right on top of them before they pull out in front of you making you crash brake to avoid running into them as they pootle off in front of you before eventually deciding to accelerate up the hill...

    Yet ANOTHER 100 Series Draw Build - All Advice Welcome Please

    So, with December almost upon us and hopefully some time off to potter... started final planning for a rear drawer storage system for my 100 series. I'd say from the outset that this is not intended as a hard core expedition storage system, but instead drawing from my own experience of these...

    Hi, just to say I was looking at exactly this possibility... not sure if this has been fully answered for you but basically, you can turn them and use them horizontally, BUT... they are not designed for that and from the ones that I looked at the manufacturers recommended derating the loading...

    Yes, sure does! An amusing aside... as a long time motorcycle rider (street and enduro racers) and just to stir my British friends up, I occasionally toss out the incendiary suggestion that the learner driving curriculum should be changed to make it compulsory for learners to first qualify for...

    Advice on Large Shed Materials.

    Oh yes of course... great call actually!!! Sometimes we overlook the most obvious solutions.... think you may even be able to get already insulated cladding panels too... otherwise internal condensation the obvious issue in the UK

    Bloody hell!!! Definitely looks like there was some considerable speed involved there too.... talk about a trail of devastation!!! This is why, no matter what you drive, anticipation and avoidance of trouble always the best approach... defensive driving always!

    Advice on Large Shed Materials.

    Ummm, depending on your budget and intended life of the structure, you might want to consider the fibre-board cladding alternatives... come recoloured and totally maintenance free for up to 10 years... afraid I don't know what the comparative cost would be against what you intend, but sure you...
