I remember that one well... I know its current owner and last I heard (at last year's Chevrons Rally), the gearbox had died :(

I sold that one in 2010 IIRC. The transmission was failing then, so I sold it cheaply (informing the purchaser of the symptoms), although it was otherwise a very good car.

And even back then we thought the gearbox was on the verge of failing - it carried on for a lot longer than ever we expected it to!

I think that the car was fairly low mileage when I had it, but it had already had a second-hand transmission of unknown mileage fitted to it.

I will say the air ride suspension sounded amazing when it lowered to allow the 5'8" biker off.

Not easy to see due to the camouflage colours but next door's owl.
Too idle to get the tele lens from downstairs.

Heard some odd noises a few minutes ago and it was a pair of blackbirds annoying the Harris hawk he has there. That was out with the owl (yesterday evening) but couldn't get a shot of it.
The black birds kept flying past the aviary only inches away from it and it was desperately trying to get at them. Then they sat a few feet away singing to it.
