Thread: Land Rovers in Action

I say old Chap!

It looks very British.
The chaps with the berets are wearing "Para Regiment" badges.

Stayed with 3 Para, Aldershot, way back in 1972.
Nice spot, tough lads , dreadfully cold in January
Especially if you went there from Singapore!

Pip pip,

I spent years dreaming of owning a Defender like those. Driving through Sydney with no roof or windscreen, motorbike & dog in the back.

Was it on this site that I read the Australian army is looking to replace their Defenders with Merc G wagons?

That'd be a real shame.

Read a magazine article the other day about some Aus Army guys in the NT on coastal patrol. Apparently it's not unusal to drive through rivers so deep the driver has to stand and only his head is above water.

Doesn't matter really - still great to watch .....

If you dont mind im going to use this in another forum where the question is as follows If Defenders are meant to be so unreliable why do 3rd world countries use them?

Love that article
Nothing like the replies from ignorant people

This guy sumed it up, perfectly
"I have a Disco and would challenge a patol or landcruiser any day, but keep bagging the crap outa them, it makes them a cheap buy for the newbie to get into the market with a very capable truck to give the best of them a run for their money.
Go the Landy. "

Well done Cobber

allways makes me laugh when people knock landrovers

they're slow
they're gutless
they're cramped
they're ugly
thier on-road driveability is poor

but......

they'll go anywhere off-road
