Hmmmm

Well, well, well.

Not much going on here. I guess it was inevitable, my old van was a complete labour of love with much to do. And being a van it had so many choices of how to do it.

Not so much with the Freelander. Well, there are some major things I could do, but won't as I want a daily driver that is cheap to run and insure. Once you start on big modifications the insurance cost becomes crippling.

Case point, my insurance is up for renewal, and the existing companies (who are supposed to be specialists for modified cars) "offer" is £380 fully comp with limited mileage. Best quote I've gotten for similar cover but without the voluntary excess or limited mileage is £150. And that is with a reputable company I've used before.

It's a no brainer really.

But I'm not stopping tweaking my Hippo. It's still going to be "enhanced" but in subtle ways to make life easier. It's not that I don't want a 2" lift roll cage and winch bumper, I do, but don't need it so it's not happening.

But with less work going on this blog will quickly gather dust, so it's not going to be just about the Freelander anymore. Yeah its time to open up my noggin with a large blunt saw and see what falls out.

You never know, someone other than my wife might start reading this!
