For any Freelander botherer when the drivetrain inevitably shits itself, I know the owner, thoroughly decent bloke with a very good rep.
It seems preventative maintenance is tyre rotation and keeping each one within tolerance. The same basic setup as a Calibra had and were known for being weak* different diameters wind up the transmission and they fail?

* This is drunken pub talk and I may or may not have got the wrong end of the stick?

I recall that about Calibras & Chavaliers too.

Well the 4x4s had the same running gear so that makes sense

The English lads could never seem to figure out why the foreign high boost one's on Migweb didn't break. Maybe they read the manual that came with the car...?

Looks a nice spot that, is it as rural as it seems?

It's a little planned town, started in the seventies.

Basically what Southern American suburbia looks like.

Hefty rule set but basically you've got whim in terms of the house you want to build, no trailers, no modular houses, no junky looking crap. Bit like a nicer version of Milton Keynes.

Hmm, I've heard about HOAs and their rules - what's the going rate for 200 acres of forest and a trailer?

About $350,000 or thereabouts would get you a nice wooded lot of about 200 acres or so, trailer with electric.

If you want something like a lake with it, figure about $550,000 or so, partially cleared of trees.

In the UK that'd be for sale for £1.25mil with planning permission for 6 3-storey " detached family homes"

About 1/3 acre, house is about 2000 sqft. 4 bed 2 bath. Separate garage about 500 sqft.

In the UK there would be 3 houses on this plot

Looks ideal, I'm assuming there are some huge annual land taxes or something similar to pay?

You might be able to squeeze it as residential of you build a house on it; then you'd be assessed at 10% of market value per annum. Outside that is usually 15%.

Wow! No wonder those Duke boys had to keep running uncle Jessie's shine to keep the farm!
