I had a Series 3 as my first car when I was 17, and I spent nearly 6 years tarting it up but keeping it moving as my daily transport. Loved it, learn a lot. Have wanted a 90 ever since, and started looking at ex MOD models but was quickly put off by their condition, price and basic-ness.

I originally wanted a 110 defender but after I test drove a very nice 1998 station wagon I was offered a go in a fullfat.. and that's how I got here |

I would say Predators, the ZU's look more like a Mach 5. |

The problem with the 17" Predator wheels is the lack of tyre choice, when these are replaced I will probably have to go for the same brand again, but maybe a slightly less aggressive pattern such as the Cooper Discoverer ST Max.

Adam, it is likely that the 2" lift is causing the woolly handling / floating more than the mud tyres.
