    I actually make a cameo appearance in the book they wrote about this "Wheels across the wilderness". I was working in the Simpson at the time, and they used our tracks and carried out major repairs in our camp.

    Wasn't it the book "Where Dead Men lie" you are referring to, John?

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    Bought the DVD a few months ago, although I've yet to watch the second re-enactment.

    Yup! You're right - I think wheels across the wilderness might have been a film name. My faulty memory again.

    What rims are they on the 88? The tyres look like slicks.

    Where do you get the DVD?
