just like the real thing!
« on: 31 July, 2009, 09:27:17 AM »
After nearly three years of motoring, a few scars and dents our toylander 1 (reg MLE 1 in the gallery) done what any self respecting Land rover does and broke down with an electrical fault and had to be recovered! 15 minutes with the electrical tester back home traced the fault to the switch behind the dashboard and traction has now been restored.

Land Rover with its bonnet up several miles from home - how realistic was that!!!!

Shame on you Scooby, don't you know Toylanders don't break down, they're like Rolls Royces, which never ever break down.:D

Parked as though having a picnic in an adjacent field and recovered under the cloak of darkness, with the chauffeur given a good telling off for not spotting the potential fault before hand and sorting it.:D

In this case, replace chauffeur with dad.


Did we get a photo of said event, I rest my case dad.:D

All good fun isn't it.

Regards,

Brian.

No pictures! Poor little beast isn't the pristine one in the picture gallery. My 6 year old has driven into fence posts, hedges, wheelbarrows, trees and anything else in her way. She is always so busy waving to anyone who stops and looks on our walks she doesn't look where she is going. My 2 year old has split the tailgate three times by jumping on it and now he wants to drive. It has alays been repaired / glued and cramped back and made fit for another day and it now has a lived in look like all leaf sprung landies. When we take it to steam rallies she gets stopped and smiled at more than I do with my third scale traction engine! I just think instead of giving it 16 coats of sprayed celluose and then polishing and tee cutting for hours I should have brush painted the bugger!

Great fun for the family - can recommend to anyone
