yep, mind you, i never stood a chance. for my 13'th birthday i was given a six cyl 2A truck cab as a project. it was an ex breakdown truck and still had the harvey frost on on the back. i'v still got it now
my first real road car was a 1966 88" truck cab. still got that too
i'v never owned a "car" in me life, just landy's and motorbikes.....its all a real man needs lol

True, very true, these softy ponces don't realise what they're missing ......................or perhaps they do
Son uses the 2A now and took me down the road the other day, hmmmmmm, may not be in a rush to get back in it

i remember riding my little 650 savage to work one winters morning (wish i'd kept that plucky little bike)
anyway, so i pull into work and re-light the roll-up i'd been smoking on the way. when one of the lads turns to me and say's, you must be effing freezing riding that at this time of year....i said, well my only other option is a 40 year old land rover. so its not much different really

It's about right

Only difference between the two is you don't have to wear a helmet in a Land Rover

True that. A flat cap in lieu of a helmet and a roll up to see by when the lights fail is the height of Landy fashion.
