perhaps you had better leave it in Darwin where it will be safer.

. We will look after it for you.
As for Melbourne traffic you will have to get a bull bar, tie a bumper bar from a Corolla or some small car and fix it under the bull bar and cover the Landy with plenty of spray on dirt else you will get bullied by the other drivers. They will give away to you once you have a few battle scars.

you got to names now derek

....

nice one mate hope she sees you well

Thanks everyone, well our holiday seems to have turned around but now we're busy packing to go home. Internet will be limited to Next G access from tomorrow so I'll be quiet for a while. Will post pic's when I can.

You get some good looks driving around in a shiney new Defender with out plates on it. 2 guys in a Patrol on the Eastern Freeway nearly hit someone rubbernecking our car.

As for comments:

Love the plates.

What do you think so far?

So far very impressed. We got the Kamper trailer yesterday and it hardly batted an eyelid towing it.

We're trying to decide on a name... can't agree on it yet but we think WOVER will go as the last 2 with that rego met with a bad ending. Haven't decided on new rego or name, but it will be sorted out on the trip home.

I do like the engine TLA mentioned on another forum - TVE...
Transit Van Engine in place of Tdi or Td5

Sorry, but we've run out of time, we have 9 days to do 4500km with a new car and a new camper trailer. It's going to straight back via Adelaide, Port Augusta amd then up the centre.
