    Defenders in Dubai

    A customer emailed me these great pics from Dubai...........can you spot the Rijidij Off Road dual carrier
    Apparently they were out in the dunes with a film crew from a Pommie show, 'Wheeler Dealers', has anyone seen that show ?

    Cheers, Murray

    Wheeler Dealers is on Foxtel - quite a good show.

    They buy cars usually British classics that require a bit of work & then sell them on.

    Had quite a few Landrover products on it.

    Cheers

    Hi Murray,

    Wheeler dealers is a pommy show. We get it here on Foxtel. Fun show. Ed and Mike buy cars cheap, fix them up and "sell them for a profit".

    It's done well and both hosts are good fun IMO.

    I always get annoyed because they rarely clean what they are working on, so they are constantly fixing filthy crap. Some of Ed's body repairs are a bit suspect and there is a bit of the "magic of television" involved with dents disappearing with no work being done on them...

    A 4WD is Born is another good pommy show. They aren't as flashy and stupid as the american car shows and the hosts are characters.

    I think there's been 5 so far - a Stage 1, a RRC, a 90, a D1 and a P38.

    I've seen A 4WD is Born, that's a great series. I haven't seen Wheeler Dealers yet, but I see there's a few Youtube clips of them.

    Good episode that one was. Mind you, according to Mike it's pronounced "Lamb Rover".
    Be interesting to see what comes out of their trip to Dubai.

    Same set up as mine

    I see the feather light has been raised up on the front runner racks same as mine to clear the zipper. Looks Like your rig John with my tent on top.

    Those carriers are a great bit of kit. There is one getting around Townsville now.
