"Bonjour" from France

#1 Post by Arjan » Wed Apr 16, 2014 2:12 am

Good Morning All,

As a new member to this forum I'd like to say "Goede Morgen" to you all. Being Dutch and living in France, some of you may know me from the various other LR forums. I make a living out of Greenlaning throughout Europe, Northern Africa & Eur Asia.

I have had loads of Land & Range Rovers over the decades but downsized to 3 now :

- SWB Series Hybrid (loosely based on a '62 / '63 chassis..)
- 90 SWG 200 TD (The Mrs. peref. vehicle)
- 110 HT 300 Tdi soon to be finished (electrics going in as I type)

Have been to Canada in '70s & '80's a lot and would love to come back and take the 110 there for a long trip.. 8)

Merci,

Arjan

Welcome Arjan. I recognize you from the Land Rovers UK forum. I lurk there a bit and have for a few years, rarely commenting but enjoying the information.
We'd love to have you over for a visit. There are lots of areas to have you explore.

I'll echo the welcome as well.

Even downsized, that's still a very impressive LR collection. :D
