Craig - your space is sorted mate. Have sent you separate PM with next step.

I've now cancelled the remaining provisional place as LRE were putting pressure on me to confirm if I wanted it or not. So 11 of us in total are confirmed and sorted Thumbs Up Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

Great fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and also to meet up with a few more forum members Thumbs Up

I think our guide was spot on. Great knowledge of the LR products and the lines, but equally, not full of corporate BS either.

Super day all round Thumbs Up Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

Great day ,thanks for organising Jon, you won't see a vehicle being hand built like that in such numbers for too much longer!! Sad Quite an eye opener, and made me realise how much more value for money the Defender is compared to the more expensive models in the range. I appreciate mine even more now...

Good pub as well Thumbs Up

Going to go and give mine a rub down now I see it in a different light! Amazing to think it was coming down the same production line not so long ago...

Cheers Jon,

Good to wander round the factory and as Steve put it "travel back in time to the prewar assemble point were its wall hands and hammers to the rescue Rolling with laughter Russell

Forgot to mention in my earlier post. I am now the proud owner of a selection of back issues of LRO & LRM mags that we found lurking in the pub car back just behind JSG's truck. Rob, I'm guessing these were yours ?

Was anyone else after these ? I'll have a mooch through them over time so please shout if anyone wants them after me. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
