@churd243 Best feature of a 101!

[crisp2882]

the engine sounds wonderful.You can not beat the look or the sound of the rover v8 engine

[cardboardboxeater]

@crisp2882 Thanks, the rover V8 is indeed a superb engine, it's sounding even better these days after a new distributor and exhaust manifolds.

Regards

The houses are so small & they all look the same, whats the go with that :) the landy is great though, good for climbing gutters to get around traffic

[cardboardboxeater]

@33deebee I have a small house to limit the amount of vehicles and other crap that I can own. Never tried climbing the gutters with it, spends a lot of time on farm tracks with a shotgun out the window, it's good at that.

Yep, typical noise in the cab :D Looks like you needed some rubber matting toput down on the floor. I used to wear ear plugs when I drove mine, but mine was 2.25 diesel witha fairy overdrive, which was half worn with a pitted gear in it, and it used to howl when engaed it, especially when doing 50 mile an hour or more.

[cardboardboxeater]

@yehudiadelphos1 It's noisy as hell. I fitted a Superwinch OD from a Range Rover, made a big difference to the noise levels. It's good for 65-70mph cruising now, though trying to make it stop at that speed is interesting! Fuel consumption is better now though, getting between 16-18mpg, not bag for an ugly, heavy V8-powered lump!

Thanks so much for the vid, My dad and I have has 3 101's two GS and one ambulance I miss them they were great fun!

[cardboardboxeater]

@rincon680mad Thanks, they are great vehicles. I miss my old '76 Series 3, was a bit rough in places but was my first Landy, will never forget it!

[Pickles0203]

my town, just from a different perspective

[cardboardboxeater]

@Pickles0203 Just wished I'd bought it earlier in the year, would've been ideal for that horrendous snow we had.

[kevleisa]

@kevleisa Thanks, hope you get one, they're good vehicles.

[kevleisa]

[SamTheSuave]

Thought I would check to see if you had put up any vids of your 101 and lo and behold! What a beast! You need to put up more videos of this thing!

[cardboardboxeater]

@SamTheSuave I'll get some more done soon. It's about to get a new paint job, watch this space!

[SamTheSuave]

@cardboardboxeater Nice, Nato Green?

[cardboardboxeater]

@SamTheSuave Yep, NATO green and black camo, in matt finish. Gonna repaint the NATO hitches and wheel nuts in red, this seems to be a common thing on military motors.

[humperdingle]

[cardboardboxeater]

@humperdingle Yeah, hopefully I'll get out next weekend, just hope the weather stays good!
