Delighted to announce that we bought this Gen2 1999 blister fender in about half an hour yesterday!
Very clean, 193 000km, FSH. Passed its AA check this morning with only a "sweaty gearbox" (what IS that??) and front shocks in need of adjusting. Paid R70K. Feeling well pleased
Had its last service at 185 000km in 2014 - quite some time ago. I know there's a special topic for this, but can anyone recommend a service centre in Cape Town?
Will be hard for me (not so much for swambo) to see my not-so-trusty but nevertheless deeply-loved Landy go - Queen song below, says it all. Seen below in Central Kalahari. Betrayal, I know! Probably not too much sympathy here but the folk over at the Landy club will understand, altho' can't expect any sympathy whatsoever from them either!
"I'm In Love With My Car"
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine,
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam.
When I'm holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When my hand's on your grease gun,
Oh it's like a disease son,
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar,
Such a thrill when your radials squeal.
Told my girl I just had to forget her,
Rather buy me a new cartburettor,
So she made tracks sayin' ths is the end now,
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now,
When I'm holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive,
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive,
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
I'm in love with my car, string back gloves in my automolove!
