Chaps & Chappesses
I'm not sure if anyone's seen this, I think I posted it to AULRO sometime ago but there's a chap called Julian Seal, a member of the G4 Owners Club from the UK and he's currently en-route to Oz, driving from the UK via Mongolia in one of the 2009 Challenge D3's that was actually used on the Mongolian recce. I've been a little poor at keeping up with his blog, but he posted to the G4 club forum last week with an update on his location and estimated arrival here in Oz. Last time I spoke to him he wasn't certain on where he'd end up having the D3 shipped to, but it looks like Melbourne now. I have no doubt he'll end up staying here for a couple of weeks whilst the car clears customs etc, but his ETA is early November. From reading the blog, it seems he may have a few good tales to tell. Once in Oz, he's planning on travelling around for a few months before heading back to the UK, I'm not sure which direction but I'm fairly sure he'll be looking for friendly LR owners & possibly repairers along the way, which is why I've posted it here in the General Chat forum rather than the D3 forum.

That's in the public part of the forum, so anyone can see it, I don't think you need to register.
