Of course.... My joy at rejoining the pre-steam age knew no bounds - until now!!!

http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic2032-2970.html

How WILL I cope??? 4 years of augmented HDC in the D3 with Traction Control - I'll have to use my BRAIN! Probably rusted up from lack of use. Cadence braking.... now, which pedal was that? Sad Gentle throttle - surely an oxymoron??

Still we never hit anything in twenty years of S2, 3 and 3a motoring - I guess my feet know what to do - even if the brain has gone soft... (Soft, as in cushy motoring, NOT.... oh, never mind!)

Not got many photos of the 3a construction process just here, but there is one...

(Bulkhead being moved 8mm forwards, hence chain (pulling) and white square (ex road sign, for 90˚ angle).

A long story...

Drove around doing 'Christmas chores' with SWMBO all the while frowning at the muddy stains inside the Landy from work yesterday.

Another week of abuse ahead as well!

Fixed another water leak today thanks to a hail storm yesterday.

Opened the passenger door to find a pool of water on the cill. Took the door panel off to find water running from the bottom of the inner membrane where it had not been stuck down fully. Fixed Thumbs Up

To damn cold to fit my centre box replacement pipe.
