Nigelw Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 After reading the reply by our very own Bill Van Snorkel, I not only burst out laughing and have continued to laugh about his post since reading it, but I have actually put some very serious thought into this. Post #83 on page 5 of this topic http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=22800 Many of us are here because we have a commonality, Land Rover, but we each maintain and build up and modify our individual vehicles for some very different terrains and driving styles and conditions, some simply as their daily driver and tow boat, some for hard core competition, some for green laning and travelling in general whether it be a trip to Bala or surfing the dunes of Morocco or just for hauling a caravan around the countryside. I was building my Disco to go to the 2013 Land Rover National rally in the South of Belgium, kind of missed that date as it sailed by and my truck still in bits. But my bucket is a shallow one and in no particular order before I die I want to go to..... Casablanca, Morocco. Moscow, Russia. Chernobyl, Ukraine.(the site of the nuclear power station that destroyed itself) I did say my bucket was shallow Where do you want to go?

studmuffin Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Alaska, NZ, Paraguay, Uraguay, Chile, Lapland and Iceland ( not the shop and not necessarily in that order) Would love to do them in my Landy but would settle for the paraffin budgie.

Nigelw Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Whats the obsession with tsjernobyl? Funny I thought I was alone in wanting to go and see the aftermath of a nuclear meltdown Who would have thought it such a potential holiday resort Why do you spell it differently Daan? Oh and I missed out the whole of Georgia too, that is one country I am pretty sure will see me robbed before breakfast unless I go armed It ain't such a big country but it ain't half got some interesting terrain in it from travelers tales.
