    Expedition 130 - driven all the way from UK to Aust

    We have just had the pleasure of these guys staying for a few days here in Adelaide. They are Simon & Megan from London, and we caught up with them after they'd just driven from Perth to Adelaide via the Flinders Ranges. They've come down through Iran & Asia - so lots of fabulous stories of border crossings and Land Rover repairs in 3rd world countries.

    Nicely fitted out 130, which even has a shower fitted and a wardrobe (which impressed my missus no end). They're having a small issue with their diesel injector pump, which is leaking a bit, and their AirCon was taken out by a locust swarm up in the Flinders (hole in the condenser I think).

    If you see them out and about go and say g'day to them. They are heading east then north (Robe, Mt Gambier, Melb, NSW Alps, Sydney then Brisbane). Extremely good company and excellent guests. They do a mean home-made Pizza too.

    Here's a few pictures of their 130.

    Cheers
    David

    Hey Ranga - I've passed your PM details on to them, so I reckon they'll get in touch when they get access to the internet. Am sure they will appreciate a free bed for a night in Brisbane.

    Cheers
    David

    Interesting name Mr Nervous. it will be interesting to see what your name morphs into over time.

    As long as it doesn't end up being 'Frustrated Broke Ex Owner'

    Funny thing is I saw a left hand drive defender in Newman today so I went over for a chat and the couple is from Sweden and they are driving around Oz before shipping it to Africa. Pat

    They are more than welcome to stay here. Give them a guided tour of the Tank Museum.
