    Addictive Land Rovers

    Hi All,
    Here's a photo of my daughter's birthday present she got yesterday for her 3rd birthday. Handmade by her godfather!
    Ain't that totally great?!!? That's what I always wanted as a child ... well, never got it, so had to buy a real one (Puma MY 2011) ;-)
    Cheers, Mike

    Mike,

    It is beautifully well made.

    They hand make them like this, here in Mozambique:




    Probably won't last as long as the one your youngun now has.
    Be known for what you did. Not, for what you bought.

    Thumbs up

    Wow, both of those just look so cool. I'd love one of each.

    Grandad could go into bussiness
    And Mozambique could start exporting

    Here's a few more from Zanzibar



    Not as much care put into the making of these as was given by the godfather in the OP's timber model.

    Hi Mike,

    That looks fantastic.I bet theres a few hours work gone into that.
    Will last a lot longer than all the plastic toys around these days.

    Cheers Mick.
