Keith,

I dread to think what he would write about an old Landie 2a or 3 He can be very witty and also outspoken, do you get him on Aussie TV? He upset the Greenies when he drove a 4x4 up Ben Nevis, a mountain in Scotland.

Back in 92, I was in a team that came over to take part in the Variety Bash from Sydney to Ayers Rock. We restored an ex-army 1961 2a Station Wagon and shipped it over. Land Rover Australia loaned us a new Discovery to use as back up, it had only just been released over there, but had already been voted best 4x4 of the year by the Australian press. Where ever we went people would be asking about the Disco, never having seen one before. My comment was that "it was boring, it does everything you would want it to do", much happier bashing through the bush in the 2a, must be a masocist, thinking about it, probably am, else I would not spend my life messing with old armoured vehicles

Richard
