Today I tested the DS properly and it's brilliant

When I left home it was raining

Didn't know you lived in/near Pocklington, muddy! I went to school there "back in the day".

Are the Wranglers you mention these ones:https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/tir...LHPAW.html ? Popular FL2 fitment as I understand it. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Was that the boarding school or the comp  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Boarding school. I went to Lyndhurst when it was still part of the boarding school. Looking on StreetView I see the fire escape we used to use when taking excursions across the roof between dorms! I see that the shop is still there at the corner of Percy Road and Kilnwick Road. Used to buy a bottle of pop (money back bottles back then!) and some penny chews there with my pocket money.

They were good days.

Part of the Lyndhurst building has been demolished though, I notice. There are also houses on the grounds where we played. Sad but "that's progress". Looks like the big beech tree is still there on the corner. A great climbing tree when you're only 9-10 years old!

Moved up to the main school from Lyndhurst at about 11 years old I think - talk about small fish in a big pond! Enjoyed my Sixth Form years immensely though.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Lyndhurst is now a private nursery separate from Pocklington school

Used to live next door to a teacher from the boarding school and looked round years ago for our daughter but didn't go in the end. Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

The whole town looks very different to when I was at school there - getting on for 30 years. I recognise some bits from memory but there are a lot of new houses now. Haven't been back in the last 20 years. Perhaps I will next time we go northwards on a break. Have a friend I haven't seen in too many years living near Market Weighton. Must make an effort! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

If you do we should have a Yorkshire meet

Sorry missed the tyre question - I think so but thought they're all season - will look tomorrow  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Great set of videos Muddy, glad to hear you're finally enjoying your DS.

Is that a blackvue camera you have? I have one too but never checked to see what the quality is like  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

I'd have had the tow rope out. I reckon the bus would be a good challenge...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

It's a Thinkware - I've had 3 blackvue with reliability issues so bought the Thinkware on BCs recommendation

I carry loads of kit and would normally help out - I've pulled a bus before - but the defender had already tried and I was in a rush to get youngest to an interview  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Looks like a vehicle has attempted to tow the bus. Is that a rope or a strap attached to the front of the bus under the grill?

This was happening when I arrived at bus - he was sliding a bit and I feared he may clip me so I took refuge behind the other car

Great bit of video footage there Muddy. Pleased to hear you have something positive to say about your new DS.
