    Yes that was the reason they chose it, the guards are also different as they are the racer guards that dad had on it, but otherwise the rest of the body was built to be as near as possible to the original and it included a rear seat between the 2 big fuel tanks for a second passenger.
    I won't go into details of the landcruiser steering box though...

    For interests sake here is a photo of what the car looked like on it's last rally with us, http://www.vccansw.org/photos/img228.jpg (you can just make out my little motorbike helmet on the passenger seat )

    Cheers

    Yeah they do, AFAIK the original guards doubled as sand tracks for the Gobi, but there were backup cars this time so they didn't need any of that.

    Was never black, that is Brooklyn Green, the Sherwood Range Rover colour, my RRC pedal car was painted with the same paint

    Thats alright

    Nah, not over his dead body lol, he's not real keen on gliders etc lol

    Lang Kidby has done a few crazy things like that, but i've never met him, Warren was our connection as well as Anthony the mechanic on the expedition.
