Uhhhhh yeah Shocked

Thats why I have a RRS and not a defender - and a caravan instead of a tent Wink

Actually.......

I would of slept better but SWMBO kept waking me every 5 minutes asking if we were going to blow over even though I explained about 2 Tonnes weight and legs wound down at each corner Rolling Eyes

She even asked me to park RRS at side to stop us tipping over - it did not help when I said stuff that - I don't want car damaged Rolling with laughter

There was a FL2 next to us with a caravan and he left before us convincing her he had enough of the wind too Sad Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
