Well, I'd say it was about as dependable as a weather report. Although, Brian has done an awful lot of work on it. In fact, last year we took it to a Land Rover specialist, who gave "Cannibal" (he eats Land Rover parts, and Brian won't let me call it "Campbell") a once over, and then presented us with a list of "things to be done". Brian has finished everything on the list. Strangely, the photo I took of Brian doing all these things has disappeared... so I'll make due with a photo of a part he fixed. I'm pretty sure Cannibal doesn't even leak now, which you know is impossible in a Land Rover unless it is out of oil. So maybe Brian has worked some magic. I really wouldn't want this to get spread around, but I am softening toward Cannibal. He's got heated seats.
While Brian was delving into Cannibals innards, he came across a date stamp. We know that Cannibal's birthday is September 28.
A month or so ago, we took Cannibal off roading. Nothing major, apparently he's not set up for hard core off roading, so Brian didn't go anywhere crazy. It was still fun. At the top of these dirt roads is a wooded oasis. The views were spectacular, although now that the leaves have changed I bet it is even more beautiful.
So, Happy Belated Birthday Cannibal.
'til next post.
