hate to disagree but leyland brothers were boring crap the monologue of mal this and mal that bored me to tears and then they tried spicing it up filming the wives in bikinies.
there cape york in the wet season another example of why would filming techniques showing mud on tyres
their dvd would be best left on the shelf in my opinion

They were lying pr!cks Mike & Mal. A lot of stuff they did wasn't FULLY covered......Originally Posted by DeeJay
I was just leafing through a Big W DVD catalogue that arrived today and they have the above DVD @ $26.87.
This film was my "inspiration" to buy a Landie way back in 1969. Maybe its been out on DVD for some time, but I have been looking now and again and never found it.
Whoopeee off to Big W tomorrow.
But if it made ya buy a Landy then it was worth it!!!

Well, I bought it... Its a double DVD. It looks like they also have the LROCV trip on it as the cover says "along with the recent retracing of the epic journey by Mike Leyland and his entourage"
I thought the LROC organised the trip and asked him along
Now I need to find time to collar the TV . Not enough hours in the day lately.
I will probably cringe watching it now, but hey, it was 1966 and I was 14 then. As Dinty says, anybody done anything bigger or better?
I think it hit the little screens when I was 16 or 17, but I had been driving landies a fair bit by then.

MEEEOOW!!!!!!!!!
Was simply pointing out that EVEN though they never covered some trips COMPLETELY, it was a good thing that got him into Landies.
By the way, Major Les Hiddens ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame Malcolm Douglas changed to the dark side.
Major Les disappointed me a few years back when I took the time to go to one of his book signs at Carindale shopping centre. I bought his book and while he signed it I commented that I enjoyed his shows. He would not even look at me over his half rimmed glasses and did not even grunt or acknowledge my being there.
I still watch the re-runs and enjoy every one (sad I know).
