    Members of the LROCV have just completed a re-enactment of the West -East Crossing (Wheels Across a Wilderness) and Mal Leyland accompanied them for the trip.

    Is my memory playing cruel tricks on me or was Malcolm Douglas always a big Toyota fan?

    Meanwhile I happened to be watching ABC-TV yesterday arvo (channel surfing after theMotoGP) and ended up watching a doco on the Burma raliroad. Note to self: When they finally kill off Land Rover, get a Jeep, or a Hummer or give up 4WDs altogether.

    I appear in the book they wrote about that trip - just as they were about to start across I drove out of the desert and stopped to give them advice (mainly to dump half the junk they were carrying - this is why they broke bits) and offer them the hospitality of our camp.

    Who thinks the Leyland Brothers did any favours to landrovers????

    I bought my first Landie around the time the 16mm doco found its way to TV -(1969)--- all of a sudden everyone was a landie "expert"and the number of people who were convinced that they were unreliable was pretty obvious, particularly as mine was painted red too .

    From memory, on the film, the Bros cursed the vehicles, never once admitting they were the ones to blame for the breakages.

    Sadly, I reckon the Leyland bros did a great disservice to the name that continues to this day...

    I remember them as a young impressionable kid. Probably why I wanted to get into travelling to remote Aussie.

    One of the brothers, as far as I know, has the entire collection which was aired on tv - and sells them to whoever is interested.

    Do a google Leyland Bros. and see what happens.

    I recall the Cape and EW crossing trips and the boys repairing huge paddle type tyres with rubber goo. And carrying far too much gear.

    My parents took me to a hall to see a movie made by Malcolm Douglas, it may have been 'across the top', which he did in a big yankee motor, (a '48 Buick?) but didn't take an axe. Pretty interesting stuff, tho..

    Cheers, GQ
