There are people that you can talk to....they might help. Don't be alarmed, there are thousands of folks who suffer the same problems you do and they can attest to positve impact that therapy can provide. Good Luck!:D

The only requirement for behaviour modification is the desire to change. Once you have the desire to change, there is copious help and advice and fifty shelves full of reading material at Waldenbooks..... I know, I have given up a number of bad habits.

But this one is non-negotiable. I am going to play with cars and boats and other assorted toys untill they take me to the old fart home and strap me down in a wheel chair drooling on myself. (That is IF I don't decide to fly/drive/or sail into a rock at MY convenience). And then, in the old fart home, they better put a lock and serious alarm system on the maintenance closet, because I will break in, get the tools and be disassembling electric beds, other peoples chairs (excuse me, I NEED your wheel chair), and building something that will make it THROUGH the sliding glass doors back into the free world......(Now there's a visual...hahaha)

WOW.....I have two very young daughters( 4 & 7), can I introduce them to you so that I can show them a tangible object of what I mean when I tell them NOT to talk to strangers:D

Amazing what you can do with 4 snowmobile tracks and some spare time.

Are tracked Rovers allowed at Robesonia?

In all seriousness.........Did LR make a half track?

One of the coolest things about the tracks is the amount of ground force they exert. About 1.5 pounds per square inch. This thing could drive over your foot without doing any damage. Not that I'm volunteering or anything.;) It does look a bit "tippy" though, doesn't it? I also couldn't help but notice the driver in the white 90 seemed a bit of a sally.:D

It just makes the fantastic feats of the "tracked wonder" look all that more fantastic.

Yes Land Rover did make a half-track based on the stage 1 V8. See

It was not a success (despite what the web site says). More information is at
