Snapper Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Pending a sound bill of health for my Iltis and the subsequent appearance of a willing purchaser, I will NOT be looking at Champs or Land Rovers - but this is all hot air until I've flogged the German thing.

Tony B Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Go for a Dodge, you know you want to :evil: I am hoping a bit of the spending may come my way, want a Gipsy back REAL bad. :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 TB i wouls love a Dodge, my very favourite MV of them all. But my planning is all based on a fairly standard garage becoming available....and of course, I have to offload the Iltis, which has a couple of MOT inspired maladies at the moment. Now, if I could find somewhere to keep a Dodge, I'd consider it wholeheartedly. Current favourtes are an M201 to be kept in French mode, a MUTT or an M38. But this remains academic while the Iltis is in situ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da bomb Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Go for a Dodge, you know you want to :evil: I am hoping a bit of the spending may come my way, want a Gipsy back REAL bad. :shake: Just picked this up a couple of weeks ago, a very nice MK4 LWB ex Home Office Mobile Police Column vehicle, needs a little work but its a lovely old thing, runs really nice, steering is light and has a nice gearbox, comes with an air compressor/tyre inflator, and has the advantage over your standard land rover when it comes to selecting between 2 and 4 wheel drive is you can do it on the fly at a good turn of speed, you can even select between front and rear wheel drive!

Tony B Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 You do believe in rubbing it in don't you! :angry: :angry: :-( She looks well, the 4x4 system was a beautiful design, especially the hidden front wheel option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 TB i wouls love a Dodge, my very favourite MV of them all. But my planning is all based on a fairly standard garage becoming available.... I keep my Dodge in a standard Marley garage with up'n over door, have to take canopy and hoops off, bit of a chor. then fold screen, it just fits with a couple of inches to spare each side, it normally drives in forwards then I climb out over the back. Another hmvf member keeps his Ferret in the next garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Johns Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 A bit extreme dismantling your dodge when you want to park it! :-D Was just doing the timing cover oil seal, the Dodge is so easy to work on, just a few bolts to take the wings and radiator off :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Both of them look well cared for :tup: and great you have inside storage so those with sticky fingers can't remove any hard to replace items ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Very impressive. Not sure I could be arssed doing that every time I put the thing away - but the Dodge is a massive lure. Depends on where I find potential storage in Southend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 A Dodge will fit in a standard garage but there is not much room for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
