I don't think the wives really "get" forums like this

My wife has already bought me an anorack for Christmas and I'm the butt of every joke at dinner parties! 'My husband's so sad he........' But if I wasn't so sad I wouldn't have a nice set of Tasmod's sill plates! stick that in you pipe and smoke it! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yep, me too - can't justify travelling that far really. You can't be alone in the frozen wastes though, can you Biggles? Any other members up in your neck of the woods?

we need to get these business/flyer cards on the go.. attraact the RRS owners not in the know..

by the way, all my friends (am not married so cannot comment about wife) think i am sad, ever since they saw pictures of my nice Tasmod sill plates on my phone (which i used to upload them onto here), then the final biscuit was the other day, i told them i was busy sunday at a meet, and they were like, what so you're going to go along and meet some random guys u've never even seen before/spoke to and chat about Range Rovers.. they obviously just don't get it!

They are just jealous i suppose, the best car my mates have got between them is an Audi A3 Tdi, and half don't even know how to use the internet im sure!

Oh and i've met some great people on forums before,
Sold my mums golf on the good old Bm3w forum and got countless tips for business etc when asking random questions.. these forums can be amazing for the skill base and knowledge base that we all have combined which comes in useful when something crops up for some one..

Slightly off topic but yes, you're right, these forums for expensive cars are frequented by intelligent 'movers and shakers', so you can certainly learn a thing or two.

MY wife thinks they are a great idea, so I don't have the sadness stigmata!  L319 D4 HSE

Any car club can meet up at Gaydon, in thre main carpark. It's a good 2-3 hours out wandering round the museum and for clubs registered with them, production of a membershoip card gets discounted entry to the centre. They have a very nice cafe there too. I always make Gaydon a stop on my way south to the South Coast - it's much more civilised than any motorway stop and nearly as good as Teebay North and South sevrices at the top of the M6!

Biggles, if you are looking for a meet-up then I game, except I will shortly be going away back to work again but can do something in the spring.

I haven't had any feedback yet from the LRE at Dunkeld which would make a great venue for an RRSport.co.uk mega meet sometime! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Gaydon is near Warwick, just off the M40 south of Birmingham.

A meet there would be great. Matt

RRS ownership for 1 yr, then D3 for 2 yrs. Then cut back to old bangers and working my way back up through two Peugeots in 6 months. Now got Saab 9-5 2.3t and enjoying the performance!

It is also the site of the Motor Heritage Centre and on the same site are both the Land Rover and Aston Martin Design Centres and I believe A-M have a factory as well. There is alos a high speed test centre usewd by LR and A-M on the wartime airfield that the entire site is built on so you never know what developement vehicles you will see at the site.
Also if folks are interested there is a large gathering of Land Rover owners of all models annually on the May Bank holiday weekend there and that is a great thing to go to. It is sponsored by Land Rover Monthly and all the owners clubs are there as well as the accessories people, Land Rover Gear, Tyre distributers, Offroad gear makers.................... it is a jolly good weekend out for all the family 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
