Hi, Dean from Lancashire. Just bought a Gv2000 as a lightweight alternative runabout to my Y60 Patrol.
Ex car mechanic now working on Trains. I've owned loads of different motors, spent many years with Landies, built a few from the ground up both as work and in my spare time and done a fair bit of off roading. Had a fast car phase a few years back that didn't last over the 4x4 thing. Fly RC planes when I'm not messing with motors.
Hi all.

Re: Hi all.
Thanks for all the welcomes.
No big plans for the GV at the moment since my girlfriend has her eye on it now ;-) Just looking for a soft top for summer and probably some alloys or steel modulars. G/f says she wants a "snozzle" on it like my Patrol pmsl.
I've just given it a really good service, engine bay clean, bit of underbody wax on the most risky places like wheelarches and I'll do the rest when the weather improves. Also t-cut a few places like the mirrors and bumpers and waxed it all over.

Nice!
Tidy, shiney little Vit. Is that an older Patrol behind it?
