came to the channel for the Touareg, stayed when I fell in love with the LR stuff

Coming full circle. Appreciate that you are still around (and in the LR family).

My favorite car of all time was my 2010 Toaureg TDI. Test drove a V10 that was older next to my 2010 first. Awesome cars. Pulled out a lot of Toyotas at the beach with it.

I really like the V6 TDI. That is probably a better all around engine to have especially on the daily and ease of parts/service. Plus the face lifted ones are a little nicer in my opinion. I bet yours did just fine pulling stuff around.

@LostCauseRanch It was just a Swiss army knife. Towed, good offroad, great MPG, comfortable, fast. People were amazed seeing it tow around a 27ft camper.

Can't wait to see what your plans are for that engine !

Wow fantastic effort for a one man band and no two post lift, you really need to invest in a vehicle lift. Looking forward to seeing get the Manx back on the road, I’m sure Sasha will love the open top experience 🤣. Then is back onto the LS Defender? Keep up the great work. 😎👍

Nice Fishing spider! I had a couple living in the raised bed garden last year. Didn't have that bad of a bug problem at that time. Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses ratchet straps for lifting/pulling applications. Assemble the kid's UFC ring, set up in local mall or outside of a nail/hair salon. Charge frustrated and tired parents $5 to"watch" their kids for 15 minutes. "Watch" said kids in pairs. Take bets from bystanders......

Damn GOOOBER!!!!!

I don’t disagree

I have always wanted a V10 I have a 3.0tdi Q7 at the moment.

The V10 is quite the experience. But I’m all reality if I were to pick one between the two for a daily driver I would do a tuned v6.

Hoping for a v10 twin turbo diesel discovery

That would be something that is for sure.

HAHAHA now you need to build a storage building out back, Sasha just seems to ignore anything you do lol. And which rover you going to put that in 🙂

Yeah she is over my shit I think haha. I really need to sell more than I buy for the next couple months. But like I said, my problem is I like neat things.

Welcome back! Did you do the ultra you were talking about? Totally jonesing that Manx!

Not yet, the one I’m training for is in October. But I’ll probably toss a 50 mile race in between then, I haven’t raced in an ultra since 2021 so it’d be nice to race in a “shorter” one beforehand. That Manx is so cool, wish it was mine haha. At least I’ll get to take it out every now and then if I want.

Put that drivetrain in a Defender!!!! 😁

That would be an interesting squeeze in there haha.

Oh man. You built that awesome building and didn't install a hoist???

I didn’t install a hoist.. yet haha. It will probably end up with a 4 post and a 2 post at some point.

I have a 2013 LR4 with 182000 miles. How much to have you do a timing chain and fluid flush?

put it in the manx LOL

That thing looks like a whole lotta nope to me lol. I mean it will be cool but too much junk on it for sure! Looks bigger than a big block too

Haha. It is a stout unit. Kind of sized like a late model hemi. Should be able to simplify a fair amount of it (hopefully).

I really hate to see an awesome vehicle trashed by someone that couldn't handle taking care of it
