Have had it for about 6 months now as my "practical" vehicle, after a 110 TD4, and I just love it. It looks fantastic, it goes well (BAS remap), it is incredibly comfortable, it can climb trees and the commanding position is good for your ego (as well as fun).
This is a bloody good vehicle! The older I get, the better I was.

I'd agree with you wholeheartedly if mine hadn't been dragged from a petrol station to stealer by a 130 after it refused to go into D!! Other D3 driver in station refused to look my way but I could sense his thoughts!
Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh!

Yes, plenty of possibilities here. Portuguese people are not overly environmentally minded, which has some positive sides (one can do a lot of off roading ) and some negative sides (they dump a lot of garbage everywhere ). I'll post some pictures.The older I get, the better I was.

I am but being dragged off an Esso forecourt on a short strop by a deafner (nowt wrong with Deafner 130s) did not start my day off well!! Good job it happened 500m from Frank Ogg who are administering TLC as I type. It's in for a 4 wheel alignment hence I was so close. DG hope the stealers down your way are up to scratch as they are likely to see a bit of it if hoose purchase goes ahead OK!

Spent 6 weeks doing geology mapping around Guincho (N of Cascais) in 2002, great offloading and bumped into a fL1 photoshoot at the top of the mountain.
