    Even a slap with a back issue of "land rover International" would have disabled it.
    In the mining industry they would have gone for an ex military vehicle or something practical l!
    Anyway the pictures are A1 and the post very interesting, so thanks amegio for the pictures......
    I think they were designed for bomb disposal teams to cross boggy ground, locate and destroy. There is a modern version out too for snowy areas.

    In the 1980's when Range Rover sponsored Skiing at Guthega JRA had a 4 door RRc out here fitted with a similar design.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    That sign is a classic, could easily be applied to the roads on the Mid North Coast, especially Taree.
    Series one is makes the scene authentic, not sure about the trailer though, needs to look older and less new.
    Great picture, thanks for sharing....
