Progress Report
Hello All,
Thought I'd give you an update .The 1991 300GD I was chasing turned sour - the owner kept upping the price we'd previously agreed and I had the feeling that I was going to travel 100 miles for the third time to find myself haggling upwards.So gave up on that one and then spent interminable hours chasing ones that sounded great on the phone but turned out to be not so good in the flesh.( bear in mind I had a very low budget since spending more than £5 grand on a vehicle to be used principally to transport my sons drumkit round gigs seemed a bit excessive !) In the end I have committed a great sin and bought a Discovery ! :oops: ( sorry lads!) - it's a V8 so at least it sounds nice and is in utterly mint condition - 35.000 on the clock,fsh with Guy Salmons , no rot ( honest!) and no leaks ! I picked it up for my Korando and £300 ! At least it will do the job and might even be worth something as a trade in aainst a G when I find the right one .( unlike the Korando which no one wanted at any price.).
Thanks again for all the advice offered and I promise to get a G as soon as I can !
Meanwhile don't laugh too much when I turn up at a meet in the disco.
Grummitt.
