Ah... Chris... do you know, my sides so nearly split with laughter this morning but it was way too early to pose a suitable response so I have been on site all day and what do I find when I get home...
Oh my aching sides!!!
Nara Bronze... nah, surely being a LR, it'd be 'Essence of Ferrous Oxide...'
Fire, vandals... c'mon, bring on the floods as well... could be worse, it could have been on the transporter that I spotted earlier at Juntion 9 of the M40... broken down and being recovered with a full load of 6 brand new Land Rovers!!!
Will post photos of my rusty, dented and leaky Disco tomorrow... sorry, you've already seen the D1!!!

Hey Rob, only jealous because I have to wait nearly 5 months for mine another 12 weeks and we could have had another baby  I'm not telling anyone when mine is at the dealers as i'll only have you and Discotres will be winding me up.
Anyway, big day tomorrow bet you will be up early, I'll have to pop over and have a look sometime, maybe we can have a pint

Hey Rob, there wasn't a Nara Bronze on the back of that transporter was there ? Mine was being delivered to the dealer and I don't think it got there.

Yep... turned up at around 11am but I have had a massive tender to get done and submitted by 5pm so ended up running it straight up to Atlantechs and forgot all about the photos!
Hope to have it back for late Friday but I suspect that it may even be Monday...

More than happy for you to wander over and see it mid-conversion - they appeared to be well under way with the seat manufacture earlier on and Geoff did mention that he thought that you might be interested in the new 'bespoke' option.
The radio in this one is far more basic than the one on the XS version that I have on loan, but the LR vehicle has all sorts of options including the sat nav, cruise, heated windscreen etc so the central binnacle looks a bit bare by comparison... however, that's not to suggest that it's anything other than cracking!
Pleased with the colour - looks deep blue in overcast weather but then really sparkles in a spot of sunlight.
3.0L engine is a significant difference to the 2.7 - smooth, fast and quiet.

Been away for a few days ..... have you got it yet Rob?? Where are the pictures?? Am I right in saying you're getting rear seats fitted, or have I imagined that bit?
PS ... thanks for the info re the tail gate.
Enjoy!! Simon,

Hey Rob, saw your new motor this morning, it looks 8) Looks like they are making a real good job of the "you know what" they showed it to me on the bench and it looks the biz. Will be interested to see the finished article On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)
