Good set of images Eric.
Like the one of you in the arches.
Frog one is very sharp.

I see you went for a Discovery as the Volvo replacement. How do you find it? Better or worse than the Volvo or just different?

It's very different...excellent for towing and off-roading but strangely old tech in some areas. e.g. No bulb failure warning light...which Volvo had 20+yrs ago! Expensive on insurance and road tax...not to mention fuel. But Jan felt 'safer' in the bigger car coming back from Italy after the crash and I wasn't going to argue the point that it was a Volvo that saved us! We shall see what happens over next year or so.

Loved my Discovery that I sold in 1999 but the Toyota LandCruiser I had after it was more refined as was the Nissan XTrail except its gearbox was really wooly.

Teeeheehee.
Just purchased shares in Duracell and JCB. Will need a JCB to move the car when the batteries run out!

Nice motor Eric , I also suffer from the other half's pics , especially annoying when hers are better than yours , we also sold our Volvo S60 as we both found it to low with advancing age . Bought a Kia Sportage as we still need a tow vehicle for the caravan
