I've met the fellow. Stopped and had a chat. He restores them as a hobby.

And you didn't stop in to the pub and have lunch with us!

I was up in the high country around Mt Buller, Craig's Hut, Lake Cobbler and the Howqua Valley over the weekend.

Plenty of Landies up at Buller, Series 1, 2, 3 & 4 Discos, P38 and Rangie Sports and also a Defender & County. Away from Buller there were less Landies about but saw a couple of Disco 2s getting around.

I ended up tearing the bottom off a rear shock so not so impressed with that.

Ah b*gger, I should have eaten at the pub, but I hate pub meals so ate at the usual cafe at the pedestrian crossing.
I don't even know what an AULRO sticker looks like to decifer if the discos are members??

Lots of Deefers, Disco's and Rangies around here.
Common as muck.

THIS however was pic worthy, sent the missus into the PO at Mirboo North and spotted something intersting on the other side of the road.
V8 powered too!

Nice find

Appears to be ex Brit - unless modified all 101s were V8s.

Garry

Sounded great when he took off, spotted again with a round baler heading to Leongatha a little later on.

101's kinda grow on you I suspect

One of the great advantages of the new club permit system in Vic is you get to see a lot of vehicles that would usually be hidden away stretching their legs on the highways and B roads.

No, he is in his 70's and has no time for computers, has a mobile but never turns it on coz it's too hard to use, still has a bank book and always pays cash. He loves his Land Rover because it's basic:)
