Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time - YouTube.... if its a jeep i apologise... film clips still worth a look though... and if its already been mentioned i apologise for that as well! Around the 1:30 mark for those not wanting to waste too much of their lives...

I can't find a mention of it on this thread,and I agree - well spotted!

Great movie.

Saw the movie today, and I agree. Date specified as 1971, the Series 3 should have looked almost new (underneath the dust), especially when they first arrived in Dampier, and it did not. A 2a would have been more convincing. I did not notice the door locks, unfortunately. Also worth noting that in 1971, a new Series 3 probably would have had seat belts.

Worth seeing, as much for the depiction of the area and times as for the story.

The Bowler Wildcat (Defender heritage somewhere in there?) was shown in the final episode of season 17 of Top Gear this week. Have a look on Youtube as someone may have uploaded just this section.

It was a story about a few former British soldiers who happen to be amputees and the challenge they are embarking upon to do the 2012 Dakar Rally. It's worth watching IMO.

I watched Fast Five the other night (Vin Diesel, The Rock) and there is a an absoulte beast of truck at the beginning of the movie which I think use to be a 101 FC albiet highly modified including coil overs...

Will have to watch it again to confirm.

Sorry if this is a re post...
