Depends what you want - they often build them to order or you find Tomcats etc. second hand occasionally, but they would have been built by their owners probably and not what you're thinking of as per Top Gear

....def. in my top 10 of cars...but I'll make do with the Disco and Series IIA for the moment

There's the odd one in the LR mags, or on E-bay, but you really want the latest one. sub-5 to 60..... Sounds good to me
That said, they are 50 grand

I can't be the only one who thinks that's a virtual giveaway for the amount of car you get for that! TVR worked engine, Aluminium frame, Strong as **** and faster than that!

Got problems with my drains. A lot of problems.

Last night, went out, got the Karcher drain cleaning attachment, shoved it up the septic tank pipe as far as it would go. Continued to spray, shove, spray, shove: couldn't believe the amount of crap that came out. Literally!!

Finally, a huge wad of loo paper comes out (like about 15 sheets). Along with very clear water.

Flushed the loo - no blockage whatsoever!

Shouted "Yes! I am a draining God!"
