Think I will need the whole team here to get 90 to test.

However sitting here in agony with a genuine whip lash some idiot ran up the back of me at lights this morning

Ouch John. Be careful with that, it can last ages - and indeed, sue the backside off the beggar.
This is no time to play the brave boy, whine like a knackered series gearbox and make sure you document every twinge. First step is to get into your vet asap for a lookover.

John had I known you were off work you could have joined me over at Hopetoun House on a Range Rover jolly driving the new 4.4TDv8 engined cars........... was a fantastic day and what an engine.............. but ?3500 won't even buy you a motor without the car! Some pictures and videos here, I drove 6 cars, none had more than 100 miles on the odo and the one I drove round Hopetoun's back garden had only 15 miles on it!!  http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/jollyjack99/Range%20Rover%20Day%20at%20Hopetoun/

Tim you have just made my day worse that would have been fantastic.

This is the first time I have had a whiplash injury that really hurts and dont see me working or driving the next few days,seen my gp today she suggested I come back tomorrow so doing as told for a change.

Will go for a test drive but a shiny is no use to me I like to drive and if i bash so what matter cant do that in a motor Wendy might like.

Was lookin at ebay and thought sell 110 and disco buy a nice 2.5 p38 for Wendy and use rest to fix up my 90 to a Gene standard lol

Hi John

Sorry to hear about the bump.
If it's any use LandRover have sent me the Rnage Rover Brochures followed by the Defender, (who signed me up???). My piggy bank is empty, but will let you know what you get for ?3.5K  :D
