As it says in the title really. I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and
faces. People know me either as 'archie' or 'harvey' depending if they're
counting the number of fiberglass arches I've broken on greenlanes or if
they're reading my vehicle's numberplate with a strong Bristolian accent.
For the record though my name is Al.
I own a 1993 70 series coil sprung LC with a 1KZT engine. At the moment I'm
tossing up whether to keep the vehicle and build an offroad trailor so my
wife an I can drive from Bristol UK to Melbourne, Oz or whether or not to
build a custom Land Rover shell and chassis with Toyota mechanicals. The 70
is an awesome piece of kit, often surprising many 'hard core' offroaders
with its capability but it is a little short on space for long distance
touring. I'm particularly proud of the fact that it was my first Ebay
purchase sight unseen and that luck was most definitely on my side. I'm also
glad of the fact that I've been treasurer for a Land Rover club for 2 years
and yet have been driving a LC! How nice it is to stirr the muddy waters...
I have tried to start up a small Toyota offroad club in Bristol but without
success and would like to try again in the Cambridge area of the UK so if
anyone is of like mind I would definitely like to meet with you on Sunday as
it sure beats going offroad on my own.
Drop a line to say G'day if you want... otherwise see you Sunday folks!
