    Black Stump Member - Michael Leys

    Gday

    Back in the late 90's early 2000's we used to run a forum similar to aulro called the black stump. A member on there used to be mike leys from Blayney NSW. I am just wondering if anyone knows of his whereabouts and how he is going and whether or not he gets on this forum at all?

    Another couple of members I would like to touch base with is Allan from Canberra who had a collection of Series 1's and a fella in Mackay QLD who rebuild a Series 2a land rover with a 202 Holden.

    Hi to all the stumpers...

    Hi Dicky
    Micheals own website seems to have disapeared too,quite some time ago.
    There was also that real interesting member who had the shorty,did his own discs/coil conversion and was running an EFI 202.He was working on a sequential LPG injection for it(long before LPG injection was new).Cant recal his name,was really helpfull/knoweledgeable and had a great Landy.Are you now an AULROian???

    Gday all,

    yeah thats it. That early 80inch is Mikes LR003. The exarmy landy was Neils and the landy was called Major, he sold it for a DiscoII V8. The Series III I think was owned by a fella called either Peter or Murray. Max had the Series 3 caled Julia. Irek I can see the Turtle. I remember the guy with the other early Series 1 coming but dont remember his name.

    Irek do you have a whole set of the photos? What about from the first trip we did in Canberra?

    G'day Rich,

    I think you're right: the guy who ownes(d) the white-ish 88 was/is Murray. That was the 88 with all the interesting mods.

    The last pic was taken when we lined up the Landies in chronological order - mine was 3rd, the next one was David's "Wenty". I think he went to the dark side and got a Nissan...

    Caves2Caves.... here is the little ad we ran.

    Yes you are right Mick and the landy was called Grommit I think. Mike had all different names for his land rovers.
