Company vehicle/ Motorbike ftw!

:lol: , bluntly I don't like driving for leisure. I drive way too many miles weekly in the LGV and simply cannot drag myself into a vehicle at the weekend. I would rather walk.

I average around 12k each year. All of it a pleasure, about 100 miles of that in low range :mrgreen:

Sadly my life schedule doesn't allow such luxuries as those trips away Mark, and as most of our local lanes and our club lanes and sites don't need low range I only really use it when I get stuck! Oh, and once every Monday morning to keep it all lubed and in good order :)

Me too, when I use mine be it the old D3 or now the Defender, I always low range and diff just to keep the linkage free and oils moved.

I make time for the trips away - mostly by working weekends so that I can still use my annual leave with the family :thumbright:

Sadly not an option for me :( But on the plus side I don't get duck taped into my car too often either :D
