| Didn't I tell you, you aren't allowed to show me photos of a bronze green, restored Series, it's bad for my marriage!! Great idea, by the way. When you're done, I'll post up my progression as well. |

| Number 2, 1979, Range Rover. Grey Market. 3.5 litre, dual Stromburg carbs, LT95 Gear Box. Beastly for a Rangie :-) |

| We have a 2000 DII that my wife drives, but this is the latest treasure. Although, not a real overland vehicle, its fun to drive after having owned a D90 :-) |

| Love the 96 DI, Dan. Austin, my 15 year old son is leaning over my shoulder saying "that's it, that's it...that is the one I want". Thanks for the bit of motivation, he needs it. Dustin |

| Oh and by the way, my intention was not to give you my resume, just a snapshot of the past 16 years.

| Those are gorgeous trucks Dan. The rarity of the 2 door Rangie is a siren's song for me though. I need a cold shower. Love the bloody knuckles pub badge. |

| @ The other Craig - Anytime, swing it by. I have WAY more knowledge these days. All great stuff though.
@ Jacob - That is a Mantec snorkel. They are spendy, but they will last a loooong time and are a great, tidy looking effective snorkel.

I, reluctantly repainted Wild Kingdom I after a few years to give it a "Rat Patrol" feel. I mean, I liked it, but the green was WAY more lovable.
