Hey folks, thought I'd introduce myself instead of just lurking. I'm not new to the Land Rover scene but am relatively new to the Series scene.
Aside from the Disco and the P38 we just added a 1973 Series III that I've been devoting a lot of attention to lately. Since we got her all cleaned up she's been my daily driver. Aside from some carb issues and replacing the broken bits she runs real well and has more character than both the others trucks combined.
I must admit, when I drive my Series things fall away ... I forget about what's going on that day, what my time table looks like, what I need to think about at work ... I forget about it all and just drive. I concentrate on the gear shifter movement, the quirks of the steering, the sound of the engine, and the feeling I get as I move down the road at 40 miles an hour.
In short, driving a Series has grounded me.
Hope y'all don't mind if I pick your brains along the way.
