LRS thread
It has been a long time since have seen a LRS thread.

No it is not about Derrick at LRS Razz


Had to evict an LRS today for non payment of its rent.

Must admit first time have had an LRS home on the inside of the windscreen slap back in middle of drivers side.

Beautiful LRS home and made from a very strong material Thumbs Up

Any more recent LRS stories?


Brendan

LRS? Several possibilities according Wikipedia......

Lactated Ringer's solution
Learning Record Store, part of the Tin Can API
IATA code for Leros Island National Airport
Levi, Ray & Shoup, a business consulting firm
Ley de Responsabilidad Social en Radio y Televisión, a Venezuelan broadcasting law
Linear Recursive Sequence
Linear Reference System
Long Range Surveillance
London River Services
LRS, a band

Which of those LRS are you referring to Brendan Question Wink You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I obtained a host of LRS when I cut down and disposed of a palm tree..
Several whole LRS families made themselves at home all over the inside of the wagon - it was like a Hammer Horror move after opening the door following 3 weeks away at work ! Shocked
Had to evict them with a vacuum cleaner to be able to see the seats!
(at least there are now no flies in the wagon! Wink ) Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html

You should try driving a soft top 90! especially as I did the tip run last week with several big dumpy bags of old fence and hedge cuttings...

Was like Aragog and his family had come to stay Laughing

You mean that Harry's family have found a new home that makes me feel a lot better. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

I remember after we rebuilt my 90, finding that a LRS had moved in, sort of made it a proper Land Rover! Thumbs Up Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

In France at the moment and I seem to have acquired Le Web and Le Spider near the rear door. Think it could be attempting illegal immigration to the UK? BM52

Only had the 110 for two weeks but The LRS that it came with is very small, only about 10mm across ...I guess this is a short wheel base LRS from a 90 . Been on to landrover and they are going to change it for a proper big 'un

Yeah,.....but you ain't got no "bad boys", have you?
Down under, we have,...several in fact,....that can do you serious grief,,,Red backs, Funnel Webs, White Tailed, etc etc....and the biggest, the Huntsman.....which can bite, but not poisonous, problem is the big ones can be 5" across, I had one drop down on my lap in the car a few years ago...in HEAVY traffic. I stopped the car IMMEDIATELY & got out....NOT good!
Cheers, Pickles.

I've modified my LRS over the years. Now it's got thicker legs, eye protectors (safety glasses), stomach guard and a rack for its back so it can carry more.

I'll be fitting its winter legs in a few weeks.
