abn deuce Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thats a great read .. Tell me did you have to give the tool box back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antar Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thats a great read .. Tell me did you have to give the tool box back?? Having done 100's of miles in a petrol Explorer during the 1980's I think he is a bit of a wimp about how uncomfortable they are. My now wife as a girlfriend then did once actually curl up on the twin passenger seat and go to sleep on the way back from the now imfamous Town and Country Festival in Stonleigh Warwickshire, (110 miles from Stockport). She did however learn on the first outing to always were a sports bra for any subsequent trips out in the Explorer !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin royan Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 John you must be made of stronger stuff than us up here,mind you some of the article was made up by the paper and i still have the tool box. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croc Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Got to say I love driving mine about, I take it out most weeks (would drive it more if the diesel wasn't so expensive) and it must rattle more than yours Kevin. I can see yours being slow with the Gardner in it, mine runs sweet at about 27mph and will top 30 if I thrash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
