More like Anthea Turner.
Looks just about passable after a makeover and goes like a train

She rates fairly highly on my really annoying bints list! somewhat lower in the annoyance stakes than Janet Street Porter though!
JSP you need to change your ID incase anyone confuses the pair of you!
(though i guess your better looking than the former)

seems a fair comment your'e entitled to your own opinion.

I've always thought they were a bit like me....fugly, built like a brick shithouse, stronger than it looks and dependable when the shit hits the fan.

Sea riders are like Landies there is a lot better looking 4*4's out there but if they do it to you then they do it to you. If you wan't pretty go for a Revenger or Scrpion you won't be dispointed

sounds like an answer to a question on blind date!

i know the searider history and how good and tough they are, i think they are great but ugly!

Godd morning,

Now it is 20 inch like original . The outboard now is a long shaft. I closed the flooding hull.
