Picking up a 'Y' reg dealership ex-demo Freeloader V6 'Sport' this Friday as our practical vehicle, it's my first ownership of the marque.

Max our Dobermann puppy approved the choice of vehicle during the test drive last saturday.

Just thought I'd say hello, and look forward to the same sense of camaraderie and help that exists on the TVR forums.

Oh no, we've got one foot in the TVR frying pan and the other in the Landrover fire

Oh I forgot, before anyone reminds me I am aware that "a Freeloader isn't a proper Land Rover and I shouldn't be on here"

Does having a TVR help my credibility ?

Only if you have a large selection of spanners to fit both, otherwise NO.

Don't knock freelanders capability off road, you should've seen them go on the G4 challenge and in the Camel Trophy.

It has a green badge and was tested to destruction many-a-time at the Land Rover test track at Eastnor, get some decent tyres on it and you'll be sorted

And welcome, it's a fine marque

Welcome to the Landy forum. They're similar to TVRs in many ways, including the fact that some of them are no trouble at all

Rich, apologies I fail miserably on this front. The best I can offer is that I know a man who does.

I'll get my barbour......

Thank you all for your kind welcome

A rapidly growing Dobermann puppy in my case, hence the Freeloader.
