Cornish Rattler Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hi guys Just wondered what everyone uses their series 1, 2, or 3 for, an everyday vehicle, off road truck, show truck or as a second car. in my case its still a re-build but plan to use it as weekend / sea fishing / beach metal detecting trip vehicle once its finished , so what do you use yours for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It was built to be able to do anything (daily drive, towing, people/stuff carrying, expedition, recovery, off-road, etc. etc.), these days it's an off-road toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_meakin Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Mostly use mine as a tool for self flagellation when I feel like banging my head, busting my knuckles or getting rust in my eye. Occasionally, I do even drive it to Sainsbury's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 My S3 88" is my joint daily together with my '71 jag. And is obviously used for the harder daily tasks, like towing a trailer etc. The 80" is my pride and joy and only used for my enjoyment 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The 88" has been with me since '78 and has been used for anything and has been everywhere.. Love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davethelandy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I use mine as a second car, tip runs mainly! Its a pottering around car, my son loves it and expects to own it when he starts driving in 4 years.... Just hope my wife doesn't make me sell it. Also I keep telling her its in case we have snow so she can get to work ok - she drives a bm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend most of my time under it rather than in it. Yes, I'm still talking about the Landy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lo-fi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My S3 gets used for all sorts: Lugging stuff about, towing occasionally, going to and jobs around the livery yard.. And I just enjoy driving it since conversion from the devils fuel, so turning fuel into heat and glorious noise mostly Jordan's post made me chuckle too! Land Rover ownership: the brotherhood of bloody knuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally, I do even drive it to Sainsbury's. right on to it. I've got my SIII 109 in France near our holiday house. Most of the time I'm working with my wife on the house (she rocks!) but when the stuff is getting to boring SIII is my excuse project, need to so something there as well. After 2 years I drove for ~10 km's only to set my rear brakepads almost on fire.... no blocking brakes but enough gunk and oil to get way to hot. reasons to draw the SIII card: - scratching sand out of the walls preparing them for proper joints - woodwork - painting Luckily my wife keeps on going like a real monk and slowly but steadily gets it all done. (I know it's not in fashion to say your wife is awesome but this one really is!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKT Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I worship my S3. By that I mean I’m often knelt down by it doing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
