Hi folks, registered with my real name as requested, but most of my friends call me Gil!
I also have drifted in from the other site - but due to PMs from Gary Stockton and Gavlad on iH8MUD. Some of you will know I am on a big trip in Southern Africa at the moment after jacking in our jobs in West Africa. The vehicle is an HZJ78 with a whole bunch of heavy stuff on and in it and a turbo bolted on to compensate for some of that. I have worked with/driven to breaking point numerous LCs in Ghana over 14 years, and while using cruisers professionally I also had a Defender which I loved. There can be room in one's heart for both, but yes I know they are fickle damn things. I will try to cross post some stuff and other blurb for those that I haven't bored yet and in the meantime thanks to Gary and Gav for showing me the path. We are planning a Euro sojourn over a few months of the summer, but that won't (at least probably not) be in a LC as I have my heart set on a Renault Kangoo 4x4 with some eBay camping stuff in the back. This of course means that we don't have a bloody clue what to do next with our lives so in the meantime we just try to enjoy... we will settle down soon as we can figure how to stay in Southern Africa as our hearts are in Africa but not necessarily the sweaty jungles of the west!
I am a bit out of the loop obviously at the moment, but this site seems a nice balanced place with all the usual suspects and good knowledge here! Cool. I have noticed TLCOCUK being a bit quiet - now I know why!
