its not tobad a place, biggest prob for me though is not much in the way of landrover stores like scorpion ect down here, and no big shows down here anymore, would love to go to billing ect but would cost me a fortune in fuel in the landy, n cant go to a landy show in my girlfriends citron

plus wouldnt be able to get all the bits id buy into her car....
