Err, before anyone gets any images of me hosing Rob down and giving him a polish  It was Robs black 90 I undersealed. I ended up digging out an old boiler suit and a balaclava I use for sailing and robbing banks....didn't get messy for a change 
A donation will be winging it's way to you Martin 
PS Have to say Robs 90 is a rare good one with no body faults. Black is a pig to clean/polish, takes 3 times longer than any other colour but it looked stunning in the sun  |

I just returned from a rescue mission in the forest on the estate over here: my colleque was stuck on a fallen tree with his VW Transporter Synchro. He is at the dealer now because of the damage.
Maybe now he is convinced to buy a LR.......  2021 Defender 110 D300 HSE |

I went year before last. I was impressed by the engineering of the domes and got a ride up the hill behind an enormous tractor, which was fun. I understand from my wife that there were plants there too Darren

@BPMan..... cheat.... that's a dumpling!
Echo LRA's thoughts on Eden project. Wouldn't rush back..... unless... at night they filled the domes with smoke and let us play laser tag. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

I went a couple of years ago, might go back in a couple of years. After spending a great deal of my working life as a spray operator on a number of farms nearly everything inside the domes and out were what I was trying to get rid of
 But then again a weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place |

I went about 5 years ago, like others the building impressed me most, we did have a good laugh though when one of my teenage sons bet his mate he could eat a hot chilli edible pepper from one of the plants, he was foaming for about an hour DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

If your not into plants then your not going to appreciate The Eden Project
At least with places like Kew, Wisley, Wakehust Place etc you can appreciate the landscape as well
I would go to the Lost Gardens of Heligan instead or go on the brewery tour in St Austell and pick up some bottles of Tribute

Greeni a BMX question having watched the OLYMPICS and knowing you ride with the big down ramp at the start and the speeds they are reaching, the competitors appear to be peddling like mad, why dont they increase the gear ratio a bit, I know with the single speed you may sacrific a bit of excelleration but the big down ramp must help with that thanks Rob DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS, I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Yesterday
Got back to treating and painting the 110's chassis. Had to fix a couple spots of rust so treated those, etch primed and top coat or two of chassis black - Drivers O/S side done. Started the passenger side, got the inner side of the chassis done in primer. Planning on getting back under the car this morning before going to work at 1pm. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

Fitted rear light guards and gave it a bit of a wipe down as it gets dusty sitting in the garage.
Would like to have gone to Billing in it but used the RR instead as its A LOT quicker and easier, and smoother, and nicer, and more fun, and more comfortable 2016 D4 HSE
