In 2004 I made a promise to my best friend that if we, wherever we may be, are unmarried by a certain point in time, then we have to run away together.
We chose a random date a long long way away, and promptly forgot all about it. Well now it’s time.
And she said yes. Of sorts.
Anyway, as I’m obviously going away somewhere quickly for a shotgun wedding, if anyone wants my girlfriend it’s on a first come first served basis. She’s in a barn tucked away in a quiet corner of Northumberland, registration B594 SAJ. You can have whatever tools that are in there as well.
Ta tah Oppo. See you on the other side.

Done. It’s about time you had another Land Rover in your life. Treat her better than I did, I’ve been a bastard.

Checks passport, calls import expert, swallows ambient, lands, acquires every bit of Land Rover goodness squirreled away and jumps on a C-17 Globemaster “space-A” flight with all the goodies

There will be quarterly mud baths, a warm garage to sleep in and much mocking of Jeeps.

There’s 3 sets of shelf stacks and a tool bin with nothing but Defender parts in them. Probably worth about $4.65 all in all.

What kinda mileage on the girlfriend? What year was she made? Has she been in any accidents since you’ve owned her? Are you the original owner, and if not, then how many previous? Can you send pics to my email addy?

TheBloody has claimed already! But; ‘85 109 canvas back, 24,000m, original engine, no accidents, 3 owners (Ministry of Defense, owner #2, myself)

Long distance just doesn’t work mate, if I remember correctly we said we were going to St Lucia

well, as far as I remember you cant live there without paying crazy money to do so, so maybe you can find a way

24,000m? Jeez, I didn’t realize that they were that unreliable.

I said original engine, not original dashboard.

Will you trade her for my MR2? xD

I’ve actually been staring at a ‘98 MR2 that’s been sitting still for 4 weeks now with a flat tyre on the main road through my village. I feel like leaving a note on the windscreen, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s bone stock too.

This happened to my cousin. They were both drunk & shook on it that they’d never get married.
Wedding was a few weeks ago.
There's a chance.

My older brother and a good friend of my wife’s had a pact like this. The date passed and she was technically not in a relationship at the time. My brother didn’t invoke the pact TMK, but shortly after the guy she wound up marrying popped the question.
My brother is still single.

The real surprise here is that in 2004 you had a phone that you could use google calendar on.
