In the aulro bookclub discussion, there's been a discussion about a book published in the 1950s about an expedition of two Series I Land Rovers from London to Singapore.

The expedition made a movie, which has now been digitally remastered (colour) and is available on DVD. JD (JDNSW) has found a link to the seller :D Thank you JD.

I'll be ordering a copy, but before I do - who's interested in having a quick show of interest on how many members are interested, and then seeing if we can get a discount for a bulk order (still to be indevidually shipped).

Another option would be for www.aulro (http://www.aulro) to enter an arrangement whereby the site becomes a reseller, we pay the retail price, but Dave gets a cut to continue funding the site.

Make up your minds soon, otherwise we'll just end up ordering indevidually.

I think this would be a good idea - I didn't think of that!

Count me in please, looks like a ripper DVD. Wouldn't mind a copy of the book as well!

I would vote for the margin being given to support Dave and this site. Best on the net.

Cheers,

Paul

Add me, for book and dvd (getting in contact with it could be a problem due to my holidays stuff hto)

and since we're on ^ that note.... couldnt we also set up some kind of deal along the same lines with four wheel drives or similar where once a month or so, they get a bulk email from the site for guys who need bits. Im not thinking critical repairs but stuff like

1. Servicing kits. Have all the normal parts used in a service bundled and shipped in the following kits;
minor, filters, sump plug seals
major, minor kit with plugs, leads sedimentor seals, gearbox tcase and Diff plug seals
Alternate Major Minor kit + Major kit with UJ's Belts and hoses
(these are based on my service kits that I used to have packed for Kermit back when he was an LPG 2.25 petrol IIa88)

Im thinking theres no reason why kits like the seal kits for siwvels and bush kits for the suspension shouldnt be considered as well there seems to be a few threads relating to them lately,

2. Expidition kits. Basically an alternate major service kit with some common spares in a sealed box, carry it with you and if you dont open it upon returning it to the provider you get say 90% of your money back.

It might be a little extra work load but since its my idea Im happy to run it if need be..
