Thanks Whilst I am a LR fan and our son loves the look of them I just fancy something different, 2K is a massive amount to me so I want to get my best compromise for it.
I too have been a victim of rivet counters, both when I had my stationary engine and classic camper van, I feel many people miss the point as I see our hobby as being about keeping old stuff on the road and having fun, whilst some people never use them and brag about how much they have spent.
I did once get some grief from a Military vehicle owner at Woodvale a few years ago for having a Camo Vitara but the rest of the group made me very welcome and it was a fun day out as it should be, the organiser just parked me on the end of the military row, next to a really nice bloke with a Bedford TM (? Big Square) camper he sparked my interest really. Oh and I cant ever forget the Bloke from Liverpool who made his own tank ! what a nice guy and what a home made tank!
