Spotted whilst out and about in Vic

[Mick_Marsh]

It's about time we Victorians had one of these threads.

Whilst travelling to Cranbourne South at 11am Sat April 14th 2010, I spotted at Anthony's Cutting west bound on the Western Highway one red RRC with what looked like grey primer sprayed around a sunroof closely followed by a dark coloured (possibly matt black) with a light coloured roof series three bouncing along behind.
I thought "they've got to be AULROers".

I'll play...

Spotted out Greensborough way on Sunday the 11th April, a nice looking D2 with rego R1CEY. Not sure if they're a member here.

And,

There's a house in Warrnambool on the main drag, western end of town, they have a white D1 and a red Rangey out the front most of the time I'm out that way. I think they might even have a Pootrol too. Once again, not sure if they're members here.

[Mick_Marsh]

This morning I was taking the SIII Stage 1 into Melbourne.
At Anthony's Cutting (again, there must be a Landrover nexux there) I saw a White 4 door defender towing a trailer with a dark green Series 1 ute on the back.
They had to be forumites.
No photo's again, it happened all too quick.
You'll just have to use your imagination.

Saw them at Rockbank:D
The Defender had a canopy so first thought was highline but it was to low to the ground:p

[land864]

If that was a 130 then they were on their way to a series 1 Gathering at Mt Egerton:)

[Mick_Marsh]

I was in a mates FG XR8 on Saturday. Itself a very nice car. We were travelling along the Deer Park bypass when we heard a very nice burbling noise. We were passed by a very nice looking dark metallic green P38(I think). The badge on the back read 6.2 HSE.
I don't usually take notice of Range Rovers but this one was worth taking notice of.

[haggisbasher]

I got passed by someone from here on friday arvo... Big thumbs up from them. Going down the hill in Vermont south area.

So... big hello back. To whoever you were.

[feral]

HB....I think it was more like this....:BigThumb:

and then .....:spudnikwaving:

Followed by .....:burnrubber:

Good looking Defender too. Good work.

Cheers.

[DeeJay]

So who is getting around Vic in an Extreme - Green I think- with the number plate 12 ??

Anybody else seen it?

I saw it heading up Maroondah Hwy late last week...

[robzilla]

on burwood hwy last weekend towards knox, i was driving next to a D1 300tdi towing a D2! :o Disco towing a disco is a good look :D

[Hymie]

I Drouin, a Red TD5 Defender parked on the South side of the railway station, then a few days later heading out towards Ripplebrook.

[feral]

Unprecedented appearances for this week :D

Why do all Defender drivers give me the horn as they drive by?

Waiting to turn right at the lights of Burwood Hwy/Springvale Rd at 4 o'clockish a stock looking Defender with a full length rack drove past heading north.

AULRO sticker in the usual left back window position but not quick or good enough to read it.

Who ever you are...Hello :)

[isuzubob]

on burwood hwy last weekend towards knox, i was driving next to a D1 300tdi towing a D2! :o Disco towing a disco is a good look :D

That was my brother towing his D2 with Dad's Disco! His Td5 wouldn't run after it got warm - fly-by-wire problem?? On the way to Fred Smith for diagnosis... plus some goodies ;)

ahh very nice!
gotta admit the D1 didn't seem to struggle too much with it either. slow off the line, but looked to be cruising pretty easily once up to speed! i was impressed! :D
what goodies is Fred putting on?

[WedWon]

:DDidn't have a camera handy but going past the same place twice last week I saw a large number of L/Rs
Might be a club or something.

It was on the corner of Turner and Ingles St in Port Melbourne





















Kidding guys :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Mick_Marsh]

About 4:00pm today I drove past two Discoveries and a series LWB soft top stopped on the side of the road the Horsham side of Dadswells Bridge.
Anyone from here?

[BigJon]

Wasn't me.... My RRC hasn't been in Vic for nearly three months!

[Mick_Marsh]

Wasn't me.... My RRC hasn't been in Vic for nearly three months!
Something unrelated, do you know who bought the Horsham SIII FFR that was auctioned on ebay on the weekend? Was it a local fellow?

[BigJon]

No idea mate. I didn't even see that there was one for sale! I am lucky to spend one week a month in Horsham, so after officially living there for 2.5 years I still don't actually really know anyone in the town :angel:.

[Mick_Marsh]

If I'd have blinked, I'd have missed it.

(Now you know why I don't usually take photo's)

[Mick_Marsh]

Accually spotted this one in S.A.
Just outside the Port Elliot Hotel. White 110 Puma. Victorian Rego.
If it is yours, you can put up a photo.

[hiline]

seen a nice looking Dark Green Disco 2 last night at the WheelersHill Hotel carpark
had the usual stickers over it,but not one of ours :angel:

anyone from here.............

[Hall]

Too many to mention around here, more than you can poke a stick at. Two regulars are a disco, green, lifted, big tyres, well used and a defender white trades person I`m guessing.

Why? you are part of Aus. are you not? Sounds like an inferiority complex or hubris, don't you want to be part of the A.U.L.R.O. FAMILY? no offence meant, but............? Bob.

There's one for WA which I quite enjoy reading, thought it might be a good idea for Vic.
There are also special sealed sections for Gold Coast people and Queenslanders, special interest groups and a whole myriad of other stuff on this site so I thought why not?
You're welcome to come down and visit your southern siblings anytime Bob. Early March at Greendale would be good. Then I can post a spotted for your Landy. I'll even buy you a beer (Victorian, of course).

[bob10]

Mick, I would love to take you up on that. You will have to forgive me for being a bit touchy, too many of our mates are in trouble up here at the moment, and I feel frustrated that I can do nothing to help them. I'll leave it at that ,mate, sorry to give you a spray, God bless, Bob.

[Mick_Marsh]

Yes. You Queenslanders are often in our thoughts. We see it on the telly every night. And it's travelling downstream so there are more northerners in the danger zone.
I woudn't wish that on anyone.
No offence was taken.

[Mick_Marsh]

I spotted this today. Anyone from this forum?

If it was a different colour it'd look like Alien's.

[boofdtl]

I must i didnt see much of the land rovers un til i was looking to buy one and then its worse when you get one you see then all the time i need to stop looking at them and look at the road more.....

LOVE my D1..

Passed this yesterday. It's for sale.
I think the late D2's are the best looking Discovery. Especially in the dark colours.

I was passed by a really nice looking maroon one on the western ring road in the early afternoon of Friday 30th Dec last year.

[wagoo]

Unprecedented appearances for this week :D

Why do all Defender drivers give me the horn as they drive by? :)

There must be a lot of good looking females driving around topless in their Defenders that I haven't noticed;)

[Chops]

Went for a drive down the Geat Ocean Road during our holidays, spotted and spoke to a gentleman driving a blue County Tray last week.
SWMBO pointed him out (in the traffic) so I wound my window down,, as you do,, (much to her bemusment) and alas, so did he, :D
Had a realy quick chat whilst in the intersection, holding up other road users ,, cause we can,,:p
Also spotted a white Defender 110 SW out past Geelong,, got a wave,, :D
So,, were either of these two anyone from here?

:spudnikwaving::BigThumb::arms:

[Mick_Marsh]

Spotted an aqua blue Discovery in Spencer Street early this afternoon. It had WA plates on it. Must have come by train.

[Hall]

Had a two bob snob in a green lifted series one disco pull up next to me and blatantly avoided eye contact. Was at the train crossing on Greens rd Dandenong. Bah humbug :mad: Was n`t even a well presented disco. Have on the other hand had a few wave, which is all good.
Cheers Hall

[PSI250]

think i spotted you Hall in hampton park this arvo, blue/white def ute /hybrid?

[Mick_Marsh]

You weren't in a lifted green series one Disco by any chance?

[PSI250]

[33chinacars]

Saw a silver L322[ early model ???] in Portland last week but didn't get time to stop. Anyone on here visiting.

Gary

[Chops]

Forgot to post this earlier,, ahh like about three weeks ago,,;)

On my way to work just prior to Xmas, travelling along South Gippsland Hwy into Dandenong, came up behind a new Orkney grey 110 SW with reindeer antlers and a red snout on it,, As I passed him we waved vigorously at one another,,:D

Its been a bit disapointing all in all,,, theres very few of the Puma owners seem to wave,, :(

[Hall]

nope, white ford ranger work truck
Boy are you lucky pal :D If that ute had a tarp canopy as well it was me.
Cheers Hall

[Disco1Newbee]

I often see LR's driving around the Parkdale / Mentone / Cheltenham area, and always wave to the others, but its amazing how many actually wave back.

Im sure most of us on here would reciprocate, but its disappointing when someone doesnt.

[PSI250]

Spotted Adam's modded disco ute out the front of his work, pics don;t do it justice! Best of luck with the sale

[Chops]

If thats the Blue/Yellow one at Lynbrook,, shes a good looker,, I go past this every morning,, :cool: Makes me want to head away from work and go and play in the bush,, :D

[PSI250]

thats it.

[Landover]

Go on Dave. It'd be fun in Wombat. You'd be showing Brenno a thing or two!

[Landover]

I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bit pricey for me though, just sold for $23600 on Ebay.

[brenno]

Go on Dave. It'd be fun in Wombat. You'd be showing Brenno a thing or two!

HEY!!!

I'm sitting right here you know. :(

[Chops]

Hullooo boys,, (and girls,,)

Spotted a red County with what I think, is a home made wooden "pop-top" (?) the other day down at Mornington, have also seen the same vehicle up in Albury a few days prior. He carries a pushbike on the back.

Anyone else seen or know who this is getting around? Be an awesome way to do a bit of exploring,, :) (this'll be why "we" now have one :D)

[disco 3 door]

Hi everyone, Saw D1 Southbound on Wodonga By-pass last Monday evening. nice lift & good size tyres. Looked ready to PLAY....:D:D:D

[disco 3 door]

Hi all, Spotted very distinctive D1 northbound at Kalkallo this morning. It was White with grey/silver camo. wondering if antone from here.:):):)

[Landover]

Sound like it might be zuno555.

Is this the one?

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/members-rides/75094-camo-discovery-1-buildup-10.html

[Mick_Marsh]

Spotted at about 3:50pm today travelling westbound along Dudley St. one of those ex-army td5's that were auctioned off recently.

[PSI250]

Spotted Zuno's camo disco at the twin BP's on the pakenham bypass, awesome paint scheme!

[DieselDan]

Saw a very nice looking white Puma Defender 110 doublecab parked up near Werribee train station this morning.
Looks like its got a bit of a lift and some big BFG KM2s and a rear swing away spare carrier.
Anyone on here?

If its still there when I go past on the way home I'll see if I can get a pic.

Numberplate LROCV I think.

[disco 3 door]

Spotted nice '96 90 Tdi from Marysville at Yarra Glen on Sunday. Did not have camera.:(:(:(

[Mick_Marsh]

Last Wednesday evening, around six, I saw a rather attractive young lady travelling eastbound along Dudley Street behind the wheel of a (either late IIa widelight or early Series three) SWB with cut guards front and rear and a piece of polly tarp as the roof covering only the front three seats.
"Most desirable" I thought.

Yeah that could be the rego, couldn't stop on the way home so no pics. Looks very good!!
I reckon a 110 doublecab will be near the top of the shopping list if I win powerball:D

[Landover]

Spotted on my way home this afternoon heading down Bulla hill in Bulla (near the airport) was a neat maroon/burgundy P38. What caught my eye with it was the discreet winch it had on the front tucked neatly into the standard bumper.

[Mick_Marsh]

The lady or the car???:D:wasntme:
Yes.

I've seen it once or twice. A very nice looking Landy.
He doesn't wave back at Commodores.

Hey Pommy. It was you.
Next time you see a crappy blue Commodore with the paint falling off driven by an old fart who is waving at you, wave back.

[Mike_S]

There's an impressive looking red 130 parked up near me in Parkdale, the reg is KIBOKO or something like that. Even SWMBO commented on how smart it looked as we drove past last night :o

[pommy]

Sorry mick will try to look out for you next time

[Disco1Newbee]

Yip, I seen it too.

Must have been Walker's that I saw then.

Saw another Puma 110 yesterday, parked on Bridge Rd in Richmond. Had a coffee business advertised on it and the rego DEF TDI.
Surely someone from here:rolleyes:

[MacMan]

I spied a white P38 with "hardrange.com" plastered down the side, bonnet up stopped at the side of the Calder Hwy on Friday evening. Hope your night got better. ;)

[Chops]

Spoted a very nice 1976 SWB Ute today in Portsea,, looking very restored :D
Anyone from here?

[DT-P38]

I spied a white P38 with "hardrange.com" plastered down the side, bonnet up stopped at the side of the Calder Hwy on Friday evening. Hope your night got better. ;)

That was me heading out for the AULRO Wombat Wander... Had an EAS fault so got the compressor out and used my hardrange EAS Bypass kit.

My weekend went really good from there. Although there were a couple of others with need of recovery-towing by my P38! We collected some positive karma from another Rangie and a Disco!

I will have to get my hardrange EAS valve block rebuild kit out some time this week and fix the issue properly.

[MacMan]

Good to hear :)

[Chops]

Spoted on the road between Dandy and Hastings today,,

Two young blokes, ("P" plates), in a well kitted Defer 110 "lifted" 4" maybe (?),, seemed to be floating around on the road a bit :eek:,, but these two had smiles from ear to ear, and when we passed, all smiles and thumbs up,,
Good to see young guys enjoying their ride,, :D and the acknowledgment that comes with owning a Landy,, They were looking for the wave,,:D
Wish I had enjoyed my little fishing jaunt just as much,, :(

[Mick_Marsh]

Well, not spotted in Vic but a Victorian rego.
Spotted at Strathalbyn Railway Station yesterday morning, Easter Monday.

Nice looking camper.

I have seen a red 130 with raised air intakes one on each wing on NSW plates on numerous occasions in Ascot Vale on the way to and from work. Anyone know of this vehicle and owner participation on aulro perhaps?

[Mick_Marsh]

Spotted in Dudley St this morning.
AlienD2 in a big, white 4WD.
Technically it is a 4WD. Two driven axles.

I think this is what Mick was meaning.
I saw him at the lights in North Melbourne in a big, white truck.
I waved.
He waved.
That is all.

[Mick_Marsh]

Yes, I'm a little excited.
I Spotted a dark blue Defender with a white roof entering the Western Highway from the Greendale on ramp. It was a four door with a black canopy over a rear tub.
I didn't notice if it was a 110 or 130 as I was somewhat distracted.
It was towing something in Auscam. Was it a No5? No, it had mud guards like a Track. Was it a Track? No, it had a single axle with leaf springs. Must be a civvy painted in Auscam. No, it had TAC holders on the back and on the lower front of the RHS it had an ADF data plate. Could it hae been a 750kg Haulmark? I've not seen one in the paint. From pictures the draw bar appears longer than this one appeared.
There. I'm calmer now.

[DT-P38]

Spotted on Swanston St on ANZAC Day!

Last Saturday, the 28th, on the Calder, 2pm, Gisbourne exit, one of the ex-army Td5's that were auctioned recently.

Spotted out the back of Dandenong,, a D3/4 G4 heading onto Greens Rd from Frankston Dandy Rd.
Too bad it was dark, I'd have liked to have had a better view of it,,
Anyone here?

[Hall]

Heading along princes highway and was in the left hand lane in preparation for a left turn into Belgrave Hallam road at the Hallam pub intersection. I was tooted by a white county with the number plates V 8 Landy. Did not get a chance to acknowledge the toot as I was a tad busy with gears, indicators, traffic etc etc.
Cheers Hall

[Chops]

On the way up to Albury today,, spotted a couple a goodens'.

A 90 towing a trailer,, got a wave :D

It's mine :cool:

Sorry, only just seen this thread.

Yes, it's real, from the 2006 Challenge in Thailand, was the Australian competitors car. I've owned Tango for a number of years so when we emigrated it came with me, arriving in March this year.

Photo is taken at the car wash place near my house, giving it a much needed spruce up. I take it there when it's covered in mud rather than covering my driveway in crap !

As for being spotted on /around Greens Road in Dandy South, it's where I work.

Cheers
Mike

[Sleepy]

Very nice Mike, I should have come over and said hello.
That's near my house too.:)

[Mike_S]

In that case then we should arrange to meet up when I get back from the UK. I'm on Third Street, there's also another aulro member (Shaun) just the other side of the Nepean.

[landychris]

I got a wave from a G4 Defender between Heathcote and Bendigo on Tuesday morning, anyone here?
landychris

[Mike_S]

AFAIK, the only G4 Defender in Oz is in South Australia.

[landychris]

Didn't notice the plate, just a quick look at the vehicle as we were both at highway speed. He could have been going back via Bendigo and across to South Australia. Just wondered if he was the guy who purchased the blue county that was on ebay recently and located in Heathcote.

[SLOWBOAT]

Looks a nice unit you have there!!
I have used 'Suds' before and they seem to do a decent job.
Will keep an eye out for your vehicle as am around that area visiting my mother.

[Chops]

Spotted turning I to I think, Greaves Rd from the Narre-Cranny Rd was a little series 3 (?).
I was very pleased to be spotted AND waved at :D Nice to see one on the road, and only just around the corner from me.
Also spotted was a 110 just near Dandy on the Melb side. A guy with what looked like a huge grey beard driving. I waved, but don't know if it was returned, I was then passed him.
Either of these guys here?

[rangieman]

Spotted turning I to I think, Greaves Rd from the Narre-Cranny Rd was a little series 3 (?).
I was very pleased to be spotted AND waved at :D Nice to see one on the road, and only just around the corner from me.
Also spotted was a 110 just near Dandy on the Melb side. A guy with what looked like a huge grey beard driving. I waved, but don't know if it was returned, I was then passed him.
Either of these guys here?
Dont forget to keep a eye out for some yobbo waiving from a truck ;)

[PSI250]

spotted this morning on princes hwy in springvale, TDI D1, black spare wheel cover, QT diff protector and AULRO stickers on a tool box on the roof rack. whoever you are tidy looking D1.

[Chops]

Went down to Walhalla on Saturday for an explore of the town and part of its surrounds. Will do a trip report soon.

Whilst down there we spotted several Disco's and specifically one very interesting Defender. The silver puma has been overseas on an adventure of a lifetime, and it had company too, another Puma was with it.
Nice guy, not on the forum, but I've left him details on how to get here. Hopeing he'll join, as I imagine he'll have lots of good stories and info about his trip to China.

[haggisbasher]

White Puma with some fruit on it. Reg YYD 648 i think.....
Was wondering if those were KM2 muddies on it too.....
I was following in the green Hyundai Terracan that you passed leaving Redesdale.... SHould have taken the 'fender!:mad:

[Chops]

Well and truely spotted at Bunnings Narre Warren today, what looked like an awesomely well prepared Puma 90, he left the car space, and we took it :D would have loved to have had a chat, very happy looking couple, obviously as happy to see us and wave as we were to see them.
Leeanne thought it might have been the couple we met up at Yarra Valley (10 year function) when we had the Blue D2. (??)

Almost forgot, this was the second 90 we've seen in this area, another with tinted windows, and happy to wave too.

[DEF-090]

Spotted two Land Rover's on Swanston Street on my way to Uni today.
At the top of Swanston Street just as you turn off from Royal Parade, there was a Stornoway Grey 07+ Defender-had rovacraft winch bar, winch, didn't see whether it had an AULRO sticker, but sure looked the goods:)

Then turning into Grattan Street there was a nice tan/grey 4 door classic Rangie. Looked to be lifted, tinted windows and 33'' km2's. I think it had an AULRO sticker on the rear door. I waved from the footpath, but I don't think I was seen(and fair enough, some random guy waving at you from the street would be weird:p)

[Judo]

I saw a pretty serious and well run in Green TDI Defender on Swan St, Richmond on Saturday. Anyone on here? Haven't seen it in the area before...

[Mick_Marsh]

Spotted an ex army Td5 westbound on Dudley Street at 6:00pm this evening.

[Hall]

On the way home tonight I got a wave from a white county passing in front of me at the intersection of Selman Ave and Burwood Hwy Ferntree Gully .
Cheers Hall

[Chops]

Well, have spotted many D1,2,3 and 4's over the last few weeks,, and one really nice green defer parked down at Tooradin ('s) but still no waves :mad: but alas today (well Saturday) we followed a very nice clean lined example of a 3 door white disco.
Traveling through Dandy heading into town he passed us, then we passed him, and as we did so, Leeanne says, "he was smiling at us". Well, as traffic would have it, we were passed again, a nice friendly smile and wave :D Then we pulled beside him at the lights,, seems his pride and joy is actually a Defender.
Ahhh yes,, another LR tragic :D

If your on here dude, see you next time ;)

[PSI250]

A green 87-89 rangie on 33;s at the Melb 4x4 owners charity event, custom plates, i;ve seen it on the monash a few times.

If your on here, sorry i didn;t get a chance to speak to you at the event, seeing as you were the only other rangie there!

I've spotted a silver 90 on Ormond Rd, parked outside a house a couple of times.

You must live pretty close to where I am, keep an eye out for a maroon D1 3dr with lift & flares.

[mainforcepatrol]

last week on eastlink - an optimistic d2 driver with a sticker on the back stating - "it's not leaking oil, it's sweating power"!

Spotted a very capable looking D1V8 this morning in Dandy,, gave him a wave, he gave me a loud squirt from the v8,,, :D
Sounded good

[Landover]

I spotted a green D1 that look familiar on the Ringwood bypass today. I got close enough behind to see the AULRO sticker and was Jibbut56. I chased him all the way up the Eastern and lost him in Carlton. Your a hard man to catch Phil. I tried hard to get up beside to say hi. If you think you were being storked by a made man in a white Triton it was me.

[SLOWBOAT]

Saw a nice white D1 with high lift, muddies etc. driving around Chelsea Heights on Tuesday. Looks good but don't know if they are members on here. I was the guy in the other white stock D1.

[alien]

Come on Chops...
When are you going to the mention the G4 Defender spoted on the weekend?

[Toppa]

Spotted a G4 disco or was it a rangie? (more an orange blur) on the Monash outbound around 5.20pm. Lady driver, personalised number plates but couldn't read them.

Spotted a nice, well setup Silver Disco 4 just out of Seville today. I waved from my Silver Disco 4 but no return gesture. It had a Bullbar, snorkel and rear bar. Anyone from here?

[landychris]

I got a wave from a G4 Defender between Heathcote and Bendigo on Tuesday morning, anyone here?
landychris

Could be the same one

[Chops]

I did think about it,, not only did he wave, as did the 130 in front of him, but guess what,, we stopped and chatted,, one very nice piece of machinery :D. I missed getting a look in the 130's canopy section though :(

[PeterM]

Spotted Chops this morning at the intersection of Sth Gippy Hwy and Pound Rd, heading towards Dandy. I was waiting to turn right from Pound Rd.

[Chops]

Hello Peter

:arms::arms::arms:

[Chops]

Spotted a rather cute looking black 90 at the Vic markets this morning :D

What took us by suprise was it was a Puma with the spare on the bonnet.

It just looked like a Defender should. :D

[Mick_Marsh]

Visiting friends. Look what's parked over the road.

Spotted Chops again today on Pound Rd. I was three cars back before you took the excursion down the left side of the road before 7-11.

[disco 3 door]

Didn't notice the plate, just a quick look at the vehicle as we were both at highway speed. He could have been going back via Bendigo and across to South Australia. Just wondered if he was the guy who purchased the blue county that was on ebay recently and located in Heathcote.

The G4 Defender was not in vic at that time. It was here in Werribee in December.:D:D:D

Hehe,, I was on a mission to get the car serviced, Leeanne who was following me in the little rice burner was a little suprised at how much traffic was there.
So now I'm off for a big walk to go pick my totally gorgeous car up from the mechanics now :D

I'm not happy about this big walk either :eek:

What car were you in Peter, I don't recall passing any LR's ?

[alien]

Spoted 2 defenders worth a mention, I see lots of Landies in my daily travel.

First was yesterday parked at Rays Outdoors on Bell St Preston.
110 wagon with rooftop tent and a neat looking tubed front bar with winch.

Second was today out the front of a car park in Albert St Preston.
Duel cab with the spare mounted to the roof rack.
Sticker on the door was somthing to do with insulation.
Again looked like a tubed bar, not sure if a winch was fitted.


Also spoted a dark L322 with a UHF arial on the front a week ago.
Didn't even get a wave even with a flash of the headlamps.
Guess one of my camp companions didn't look to see who was driving the truck.
Wait till I see her next:mad:

Yes it's hard to get waves back when your not in your LR. At least I wave back to you a couple of weeks back driving through Nth Melb in the truck. We both weren't drive LR's either.

Ahhh the joys

Parked my D1 next to a red V8 D1 at Fountain Gate yesterday.
Mine looked like a matchbox car next to this unit.
It had 12x37 tyres, looked like 100mm + lift, rock slider sills and bullbar with winch.
Anyone in here??
Big unit this one.

[Chops]

Spotted and waved, well tooted, at a white 130 yesterday in Bethanga during my travels around Albury/Wodonga.

Also spotted a couple of reasonable old Series utes, 1,2,3 (?) on a few farms around the district, as well as a Defender 110 which had I think a Disco parked near it up behind a house over looking the weir, (another Landy tragic ;) )

[Mick_Marsh]

Look what I drove past.

[Chops]

Went for a drive from Albury up to Porpunka, Bright, then a cross to Mt Beauty.

On the way there, spotted a Red Disco, very dirty, wondered if I was one from here, I did wave, but I doubt he spotted me, as I was driving my sisters Falcon. That was between Myrtleford and Porpunka, then at Porpunka I spotted a Defer by the river with an "L" plate on it.
Then, whilst going over the Gap we passed another Defer which I waved at,,,, and low and behold,, I got a wave back :MileStone: never thought I'd see the day when I was in "car", and would get a wave from a Landy. WooHoo :D

Damn I wish I'd been in my Defer :(

[PSI250]

spotted a group of disco's sat arvo on what looked to be 31's-33" tyres heading into labertouche forest area as we were heading out. Almost touched door handles with one as we both did the 'lifted rover lean' round a bend!

i was in my rangie followed by a GU ute and wagon.


anyone from here?

[Treads]

Whilst getting about at work yesterday I spotted a silver Puma (White roof) in Wang. It looked like it had a 'Mulgo' style camper roof coversion? Dual wheel carriers and a high mount gas bottle on the rear.

Very nice rig!

Sorry Gary, but I just had to.


I also saw a familiar roof top tent

There was a Discovery under it.
Was that you waving Shane?

Saw lots of Discovery's. They seem to be more popular than Landcruisers.

From memory he has an Aulro account but he is not an active member, probably too busy enjoying his travels.... ;-)

His spare wheel carrier he fabricated from bits 'n pieces purchased at Rijidij Offroad (Murray).

[Chops]

Well, we've just had 4 days on the road to Portland and back, and during that time we've seen quite a collection of Landies.
We were driving the Puma with fishing rods on the front bar, feeling very relaxed, and in cruising mode. ;)
Probably of most worthy note was the D3/4 spotted in Port Fairy who was more than eager to wave at us as we approached, twice even :D,,
Then there was the Motor Home coach towing a yellow 90,, looking very cool,, :cool:
And to top it off, we ran into (not literally) "110 dude", at a reserve in Princetown, who waved furiously as we entered the park :D
Also along the way we spotted a couple of "Orkney Grey"(?) 110's on the GOR as well as a couple of 130's, a green 110 County (? , thinking it looked like Murray) just out of Geelong this arvo.
A few more spotted and waved at, including Discos, 1,2,3's some waved some didn't, all in all, a very satisfying "spotting" trip :D

Thanks to all those who waved, I'm sorry if I missed waving at anyone who may have spotted me, and also sorry if I've missed pointing you out on here.

[Chops]

Also spotted today on the way home (or it may have been yesterday), traveling in convoy towards Portland way, was about 15 or so Fire truck with lights on.
I felt quite emotional when I passed these guys, giving them all a wave, as their off I'm guessing, to help with the fires further west.
But the very last vehicle to pass us in the convoy was a Defender. It took us by suprise, so I can't tell you if it was a 110 or 130,, but it looked good all dressed in impressive Red.

What ever your up to boys,, thanks.

[SLOWBOAT]

Saturday afternoon travelled to Point Nepean and just realised 'THIS IS THE CAPITOL OF DISCO'S & RANGE ROVERS'. Never seen so many traveling or parked on the side of the road. My wife told me in the end to be quiet (being nice) and not point anymore out as she was sick of hearing me say there's a disco there's a rangie.
Probably gave up after about 70 sitings.

[Hall]

Was parked out side of auto barn Narre warren . Bloke pulled up beside me in a diesel110 tray. Had a chat about our vehicles. He has just recently had the motor reconditioned in his 110. Been by what he said a Land rover tragic for a long time.

Spotted two very notable units today on the way home from Melb.

First was a silver Puma 90, driven by a woman, with a female passenger,, they looked rather happy cruising around :D

The second, a very bright yellow Soft Top. Not sure if it was a 90 or a two door 110(?). Looked cool though, and we got a wave :D

Also spotted two 110's around Parkdale(?) parked at the beach.

[Mike_S]

The bright yellow soft top 90 was parked in Southland shopping centre a couple of weeks ago, without the roof on. It's quite a smart looking little truck.

[Mick_Marsh]

Saw on the Nepean Hwy on Saturday, a lime green SII or SIIa shorty with no roof.

[disco 3 door]

Spotted a neat Grey 90 (Puma) near KFC Ararat last night. Dark Tinted Windows & Alloys.

[DieselDan]

Saw this CFA defender last weekend parked up in Hawthorn and then the Bundy defender and early rangie at today's Australia Day celebrations in the Kings Domain in Melbourne.

Its not a Landy, but I drooled over the gull wing 300sl for a bit too!

[1976_michelle]

Could be. There can't be that many of them knocking around!

[Mick_Marsh]

Could be. There can't be that many of them knocking around!
You'd be surprised. There are quite a few kicking around. Lindsay Fox has six or eight I'm told. There is a fellow in Victoria (Shepparton I think) who restores them.

I waved at another SII Stage 1 yesterday. Same colour as mine. There seems to be a lot of Landrovers about this weekend.

[DieselDan]

Hmmm, in that case when my powerball numbers come up, I might go asking Lindsay if he wants to sell one!

[PeterM]

Spotted and had a chat with Chops on Friday evening on my way to work.

[Chops]

Spotted a white 110 on the corner of Frankston/Dandy rd and Greens road this arvo,, I think I got a wave :D bit hard to tell trying to peer thought tinted windows ;)

Good to meet you Peter,, you need to get your wheels on and come for a club trip :D

Pop it up in the upcoming events and I'll see what I can do to get along. :cool:

[Toppa]

Whilst putting the bins out on Williamstown Rd I spotted a blue county with an army trailer (dont ask me which one - im not Mick Marsh:D)

To be fair my knowledge of early models is not great so it may not have been a county exactly - it was dark. Had i seen it earlier I would have waved but it had already passed by.

I'm betting it was a dark blue Defender with a white roof.
If it is the same one I passed on the Pentlands around a year ago, I think it is a 750kg Haulmark.

Possibly. It looked a bit like this but older looking.

Think I got my first ever return wave this evening in Richmond (near Molly's house). Dark green Rangie coming the other way. Very exciting, no-one seems to wave back to my RRS :)

[Mick_Marsh]

Took the Landy to Geelong last Saturday. Passed a Defernder, two Discos, a RRS and a Freelander. Only the Defender driver waved.
That's to be expected I guess.

[1976_michelle]

WOW,,

Been a big day today for Landy waves,,, and hand Shakes even :D

First, Lonerangie "gave" me a couple of tickets to the footy for which we are off to use right now,, bigs smile and hand shakes,, gotta love our club.
Then I flagged over a 110 towing a series Landy. His car was smelling a bit. Turns out it has just 6 Kay's on it. He now knows of our forum,, got hand shakes from him too,, lookin forward to seeing him on here soon

Then we were waved at by a couple of 110's near Narre Warren on the way home. Also spotted another Orkney Grey DC ute :D

You mob down there must not have many mates, or be very lonely, or both. This wave thing, been a part of Qld driving for as long as cars have been on the road. No-one up here gets excited about some-one waving at them. Sort of sad, somehow. :angel:Bob

Could be because we're not all related. We don't know everyone here.

Passed a gold coloured Discovery today. Had the numberplate "SLEEPY".
Anybody on this forum?

(No, I'm not that silly. I know it was Sleepy's dad's Discovery.)

OI YOU, don't you know north from south?

Saw this nice D2a in Yarraville this morning. He politely waited for me to turn around and gave me a wave to boot.

Think hes a builder doing a reno around the corner.

Anyone know the vehicle

This morning spotted a fellow AULRO member on Dandenong Rd at Hallam around 1130.

Red D1 Tdi 5Dr with roof rack, muddies and flares with an aftermarket rear bar. I couldn't make out the forum name on the sticker though.

I'm guessing it's a very sad man that couldn't make it to Melrose :wasntme:

A worthy inclusion by the looks of it. Any idea of the issue it was in?

Did you get the number for the workshop?
Maybe it's for a once over prior to selling.
Can't hurt to ring and ask.

[SlowlyDoesIt]

Spotted this morning on the Eastern Freeway just before the Toll tunnel... obviously heading outbound towards Ringwood... :ohyes:

Want me to pass on an offer?
How many body parts are you willing to part with?

I looked at one for sale on the weekend but someone beat me to it.

[Homestar]

Haha. We're not all snobs, but I'm not sure how to convey that to a passing motorist in less than a second...

Bugger - you have a real nose for finding these... Really hope one day to find one that has my name on it. How much do you think that one at the mechanics would go for - maybe I need to start saving some shiny pennies.

'Excellent Zutroy! Work hard, and each day you'll get a shiny penny!'

I have it on good authority the fellow is a collector and will probably be buried with it.
Having said that, everything has it's price. I'm sure an offer of $20,000,000 might spark a bit of interest.

If you really want, I'll let you chalk your name on one of mine for $50. I'll wash it off when you leave.

[Homestar]

A bit more than I had in mind. I'll have to put a poster on the garage wall - will be about the closest I get to one...

Isn't that rear side window like a G4 rear side window?

Looks like an LROCV members from the sticker on the LHS back window, but I don't recognise it.

There are a few manufacturers of the Deefer gullwing windows, but not sure who's those ones are.

[Judo]

I've seen the yellow one around once or twice recently too, but never in the right situation for a wave! So not sure if they're friendly! ;)

This rangie has been parked around the corner from my place for months. This week I noticed a new sticker on it... "unregistered or abandoned vehicle". :( If anyone on here owns it - it's time to move it!! :p (Alternatively if anyone wants a Rangie... *points* :angel: )

On my recent trip to Adelaide waved to every LR & RR I saw. Not one returned ####

[Chops]

Spotted in Dandenong this arvo,, A very well kitted Puma(?),, {was busy looking at it whilst trying to wave and dodging stupid rice burners},, It was expedition rated well and truly with jerry cans on the side roof rack etc,, Looked awesome in the quick look I got.
But most important, I got a wave back :D

Also spotted in Narre Warren a rather well kitted white Rangie. I waved,, he waved,, :D (although he looked a little surprised when he saw me wave)

[1976_michelle]

saw a lovely... deefer of some description (sorry nfi) in a gorgeous colour i9n Bendigo; it was a kind of.. red but ice, like coconut ice or something, not an original colour surely?

[Judo]

Saw this in my local coles carpark on the weekend! I believe the next thing I said to my girlfriend was, "WANT!".
