    If Santa could bring you ANY Land Rover....which would you want?

    Say you asked Santa "Santa, Id like another Land Rover", and he said, "Sure, Little Boy, Ill bring it Christmas Day and park it in front of your house. title will be on the Front Seat, EnjoY"

    Would you want a spanking new Range Rover.....or a 48 Pre Production....or maybe a ratty but running 107? Or...would you prefer the 107 to be so clean you could eat off of it? Maybe a nasty veteran 80 trials vehicle? Would you prefer the 80 to be museum quality instead, with spotless paint and a sweet purring 1.6 litre engine, Or, a fully outfitted Defender, ready for the Rocky Mountains? Or would you say..."Santa, just take mine and make it like new".

      Definately a Defender 130 4 door pick up including a 3/4 soft top with a snorkled 300 TDi. Totally set up to go wherever, whenever. A nice Brownchurch rack with 4 Hella Hid's would be great too. Oh and a high amp alternator and dual Oddesey batteries with a National Luna charging system.. And an Engel fridge/freezer... and an Eezi-awn series 3 1400.

        I really don't want another Rover because I really like mine. I would just ask Santa to leave the stuff I need/want to finish it.

          Since I just recently got my 66 IIA, If I was to get another for Christmas, It would be a Bowler Nemesis. Road legal.

              I'd just have Santa do a little work on mine...Santa please give me some new wiring and finish this 24v to 12v conversion for me with all new, working gauges...aftermarket are fine since I'm not counting rivets with this one. Thanks Santa!

                  This is one of the best compliments I have ever had. Thank you very much.

                  Oh, by the way, my Lightweight project will be finishing up this winter. If any 'Santas' out there are looking to deliver a nice Lightweight just let me know and I'll make sure it's finished in time for Christmas delivery.

                    Thanks Santa but I'd rather just have a 3 bay garage, with 20' ceilings. One bay with a lift. Outfitted with a bead blaster, welder, spray booth, galvanizing dip tank large enough to dip a chassis, and all the other necessary accouterments I'm forgetting to mention right now. Nothing much just a little garage. That or I'd opt for Ronnie to be fixed up a bit.

                      Ditto!

                      But if it must be just a Land Rover then I would say that I would be interested in an original fully outfitted Pink Panther (even if it was green).

                      Along with the full reports and stories of its best missions.

                        Like Jim and a couple others here I'm blessed with the perfect Land Rover.

                        I wouldn't turn down the completion of a couple projects, fresh paint and interior. What's not to love about a 1960 two door Dormobile that's shared my life for almost 31 years.

                          Hmmm...... decisions, decisions......

                          A Pink Panther would be on the short list, but so would a Tickford. A '48 pre-pro is a good thought too. Or, how about the actual 'Antichrist' SI from the Gods Must Be Crazy?

                              It would have to be my 109, completed and with a doormobile top installed.
