That's a cunning plan - very nice 110
p.s. get some theft-proof bonnet hinges - I grew up in Ipswich  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

I didn't realize how much these bonnets were thief bait when I spec'd it out in my head. I will look into those hinges mentioned. I just pulled the roof rack as its going to spend down time in the garage while I'm in the USA next month. Out of sight out of mind.
I just moved a bit away from Ipswich, but I wont specify based on possibly leading people straight to the bonnet heh. I was in Sproughton, which I thought was a quiet little village. That is, until I forgot to lock the wife's Freelander after getting out one night and someone went around checking door handles... I lost a new EU mapped satnav, her ipod, parking change in the glove-box, and the jerks took a good bit of the car's paperwork... I made a mental checklist of the things I liked when I got here last year and attended the Billing show. Talk about walking into the promise land! Im definitely attending that again this year. Its two hours from where I am, so the other half might require me to drive her in the Freelander. The engine, transmission, and transfer box have some decent miles on them. Im thinking of swapping out the latter two with Ashcroft recon units since the engine is still pulling strong and fires off first try. Thanks for the kind words. I did the paint scheme like last years X-techs in Nara Bronze and black. The specialists who did the work thought it was a hideous color for a Defender. I think it looks fine though, and should blend in with newer car colors better when it gets back to the states. |

Didn't really notice the colour (or "color"
 ) first time round - I like it
p.s. a schoolfriend of mine got killed driving on a road in Sproughton - drive carefully/defensively! Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
