Sea trout, like salmon, return to the river to spawn.

I'm not sure what I meant either.

It was some sort of reference to the fact that your land rover pictures were in the middle of a field not by the sea or a river.

But it didn't really work, sorry.

Ah, I think I get it now. :shock:
I assumed you thought sea trout only lived in the sea.

In the two pics where you can't see the river, it's actually only a few feet away. :)

Stuck the omega on gumtree this afternoon for £200 and sold it to the first to view, for £200. Hassle free transaction so I gave him £20 back as the fuel light was on.

One out one in?
Maybe.

I'm going to have another look at a midget I almost bought last year. And a series 3 swb LR.

What's the market value for an R reg that's lost its rubber bumpers? It's pretty much rust free but not immaculate.

It's worth paying a premium for a rustless example.
