38 GUM spotted
Near Mansfield, towing a caravan, black 110 Utility Wagon with SVX wheels, I know there's a GUM on here but just wondered if there was a pretender?!!

Gum's is silver is it not and a bit shorter? It also has the coolest windows on the planet! The number has also lost a few digits, about 59 by my reckoning "GUM97" Laughing If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I'd just been to pick up my pickup after some work, '38 GUM' was sat in front of me at some lights as I turned right, looked very clean, nice and tidy with quite a large caravan on the back, probably trying to escape from Mansfield!
There can't be many Defender's with GUM plates about. My wife was following me back home, it never ceases to amaze me that when we stopped, the first thing I asked was - "did you see that black Defender? - 38 GUM?" She just looked at me with a blank stare and said "what Defender?!!
I'd spotted the Defender, number plate, colour, type of wheels, which way it was going, what it was towing and made a mental note of how clean it was - I don't know who's worse!

I do that all the time, when other seem to just remember it was "blue" and not much more haha Laughing Surprisingly, I managed to park next to another "GUM" plate similar to mine at the West Midlands game fair last year Twisted Evil An engine to TDi for!
