not wife, but she is my best mate's sisters best mate (eugh).

kept getting her to come to a couple of my parties and eventually Drinks + charm (looks escaped me) = HI 5!

Now she loves land rover's and comes on the trips with me......she thinks of them as 'our thing we do together', Which is sweet.


She can be a royal PITA though when she decides that something has to much of an angle/camber on it....when im already half way down the obstacle! Then starts panicking and tells me to stop. Doesnt like the answer of 'it's too late now'. Rolling with laughter ===================================

I was a kept man for several years. Shame I had to find a job eventually Big Cry Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Many years ago at work during a summer like this, 197? , we worked shifts, I drove the works car and she was the observer. A few years later after we were married we took up caravaning and had an MG Montego, took it in for a service and walked out with a Range Rover that she had fallen in love with after being persuaded to test drive it, a few years later she wanted a 2.5 90 land rover to get to work in the bad weather I was not allowed to drive it, she then changed it for 300 series 90. I have got rid of my Argyle Disco so that she can have 2008 plate USW 110 which I sometimes get to drive but always get to do any work on. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

I had just pulled into a pub carpark in my SWB Series III and my SWMBO to be walked over, tapped on the window and introduced herself, things sort of took off from there Mr. Green Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

I met mine when I interviewed her for the job as County Secratary at Young Farmers when I was County Chairman. They say that relaptionships in YFC situations don't last but it did take 18 years before circumstances took over, we're still the best of friends. When she started in the job I was off skiing and she was allready smitten by what she could find out about me, I had a double barrelled name, I was off a big farm, I drove a Land Rover and used to ride to hounds. Give her her due she still was interested in me when the reality of my life became apparent, my double barrelled name was due to my mother remarrying and me keeping my fathers name, I was a spray operator/stockman/agricultural mechanic for a big farming company, I had just bought my first 110 pickup, it was a site vehicle from Taylor Woodrow and had been used and abused on the Channel tunnel and as for hunting, my manager and I used to take it in turns to take an old nag that we kept on the farm for shepherding purposes and as you could gaurentee the hounds to cross over some of our land we'd allways claim farmers rates when the secratary approached!
