110? ... 110? Now where have I heard that number before? Hmmm... I wonder who member 130 will be and who members 80, 86, 88, 90, 107 and 109 are?

Congrats Mr 110!.

Was wondering the same myself as user numbers progressed...

Sorry to see the shape of your 80". Is it a write off or are you rebuilding it?

Class 'B' write-off, I'm afraid.

UK law states that a vehicle written off under this class can never be registered for road use again.

Bummer.

I sold the wreck to Phill Bashall at Dunsfold Landrover. Got a reasonable price for it but, to be honest, I should have kept it to break myself.

My thinking was a bit off on that one. Mind you, breaking your shoulder, ankle and back (five places) in an RTA does tend to mess with your mind.

I'm in the market for a new 80" now - the accident was in June last year. Next week I'm off to look at a barn-find in Cambridge. Fingers crossed for that one.

I was interested in an 80" called "Lucille" advertised on this board in January. I offered to buy it sight unseen, but your treasurer had a time zone advantage on me and snapped it up from under my nose.

Double bummer.

You can tell Stuart from me - he's a dead man.

And why would I be interested in a landie in BC? My family and I are coming over to live on the island next year.

On second thoughts, tell Stuart he's a very, very nice man and should he ever want to sell Lucille, I have a wad of insurance payout cash burning a hole in my wallet.

Cheers,

David

There are definitely a few 80 inchers hiding around here. I think Martyn Russell has several project 80", and there is a yellow one on the road in mission that I understand is for sale...

I took a shot of the yllow one in the rover spotting section a month or so ago.

I look forward to meeting you when you relocate. And I'm sure Stuart will be more than happy to take you out for a spin.
