Two excellent rides!

Thanks @den213 - I very much enjoy the X1 - it's fun to drive, gets great gas milage and serves my needs. It dosn't have a fancy equipment package or anything on it, but I drive a total of about 16 minutes most days, so I don't need anything fancy.

As for the wife's Armada, she loves it, and it's practical for toting 2 car seats + Double Stroller + All sorts of other crap around while feeling safe and comfortable. It get's horrible gas milage, but it has a big V8 and is 4WD, which is perfect for hauling the boat I don't have hahaha

Not sure if this should go here or the random questions thread. I'm looking at importing a Land Rover to Canada most likely from the UK. It must be at least 15 years old to import. I'm looking at old defender 90 or 110 pickups. Wondering if anyone here has experience doing this. There are many sites on the web that source a car and ship it but looking to see if anyone has used one of these services and can recommend one. Many of these outfits are based in the UK so I figured this forum could be a good resource.

I'd ask Giles, deanclean… If he can ship 25oz jeans to Canada for 20$, he probably can ship something small like a Land Rover for a fiver...

[deanclean]

Hahaha good thinking @Seul

I'm picking up this beast on Saturday, one of the last Defenders…

MP and Twism_23, very nice vehicles. A new picture of my old car, still going strong.

[Haddtoo 555]

Always have like that one

[MP]

Thanks, I can't wait to pick it up!  I've got a 500km drive home from the dealership, so plenty of time to get familiarised

4444cfed, that's a classic, looks like it's in good nick too

It won't take you that long, there ain't much to get familiarised with ;D.  Heated seats is about as complicated as it gets, though I suspect you won't be needing them.  First thing to do is chuck out the feckin useless stock radio.  We replaced ours with a blue tooth Sony device.  Now we have hands free on the phone and the world of Spotify, plus Apple route guidance….Love it

i am looking to put back an 8 track  none of your fancy telephone wizardry and hocus pocus

[Giles]

Good point.  It would have been more fitting to retro fit one of these now I think of it:

Harley Dave….like your B...what year is it? Great looking car.

[harley dave]

its not mine its a perk of the job i have ,which at times is to drive around in cars i cant afford to own and play in them .
think its a 68/69 model there not expensive by todays standard i think its only worth about £60-80000 its one of the cheaper cars i get to play in
