Yes, and in fairness to the Sport, it was running particularly hopeless-offroad road tyres at high pressure as it was about to be driven to Mitta Mitta and back. I was thinking no worries it'll cruise no drama round even at 40psi....probably would have done without messing about for photos!Quote:

Yes, I'll post a few. I've been flat out since I returned finishing articles. The story will be in next month's -- May -- Overlander 4WD magazine. Also LRM at some point too.Quote:

There were 1374 attendees driving 767 Land Rovers, with 560 in the Parade.
Interesting... I asked the question on another Land Rover forum and was told that the Guiness world record for the longest Land Rover convoy was only about 300 vehicles!Quote:

I don't know. I know it was more than the 50th here, and more than the 50th in the UK. It is more 4WDs in one convoy/parade than any other event I have heard of.Quote:

ps "Land Rover" not "Landrover"
I ran open centre diff around all the courses to get a better turning circle. They were quite easy but still fun.
Only spilt 8ml on the water event so no wet pants in my car.
Our club (LROCV) runs quite a lot of trials events throughout the year so that could of helped too.
WOHOO! THE EDIT BUTTON IS BACK!!!:):):):)Quote:

as it was there was no Parade Through Town as such,, just an orderly legal group of cars all of the same make.
The Lineup at the Airport was something SPECIAL though---
