Considering these guys were such a big part of aussie 4wd and Land rover history, would it be possible to start a forum on them?

We must all know different versions....
Traveled all over the countryside, ask the Leyland Brothers, buggered it up with a 4 wheel drive, ask the Leyland Brothers"

Oh god.... I remeber all of that stuff... Im not even thirty, stop making me feel my age already......

"The dawdled all over the counrty side, breaking down in Landrover four wheel drives. Tow, Tow Tow the Layland brothers."


Although my personal favorite was Rolf harris's effort on the kenedy track up the east coast.

the jingle out of the ad breaks will always be in my mind...

"we'll make our own way back, along old kenedys track"

and the quote on the track itself...

"some of the pot holes were so big, they themselves had potholes inside them."

Being a pom i did not know who the Leyland brothers were. It was my wife that told me who they were after seeing that an advert on TV .She was ****ed that they were in Toyotas and not Land Rovers. They were the people that got her into like land rovers.
When she first mentioned the leyland brothers i thought she meant the Wilks Brothers:D

BTW if you are a Landy nut, a really good read is the Len Beadall books. Had great fun reading them as i went around Aus. Some of the things they got up to were mad

Who remembers this EARLY SEVENTIES.

Hi i have a book on their expeditions in that era (Off the Beaten Track)

What amazes me is the size of the mud tyres they had on those landys way back then,:D
