Come over from the dark side (D3 Forum)

Well my first 110 TD5 and what a beast to start with. A long term project I might add, look forward to a few outings.

This was the advert that captured my imagination: http://www.defender2.co.uk/forum/topic19530.html

Welcome GSLRO, what's it like to own a proper LR Laughing Life is one big adventure, that's why we have the vehicle for the journey.

It's an interesting truck. Were you let in on the 'secret' of the previous owners? Darren

Sworn to secrecy ... but needless to say past owners mean more than any service book stamp history. But will be exploring some more of its past to develop the portfolio.

Mind you she don't 'alf move, didn't think it possible for a 110 Whistle

Picture of its first outing on the North Yorkshire Moors, felt more comfortable greenlaning than the D3, only in the sense of capability but do miss the air suspension. Guess I need to toughen up Sheep

Happy to have any more pictures by email (button at the bottom), it is more from the last owner that would prefer anonymity I am led to believe, there are also some pictures on the Performance and Protection Gallery website, well one picture.

Not to give you a hard time but...

Confused I think you are missing the point of a public forum - why not post them all up here and celebrate a vehicle with an interesting history?

Do you mean Jasperoony? The chap that posted all the info in the first place? Confused Confused
