    The Ultimate LandRover

    we are moving out after 30 years and have spent a week infront of the shredder.
    found this article I typed out for the LROCV magazine (my typeing hasnt improved) following one of the early Field days. mid 1980's

    You know 30 years on - I still think Bills 6x6 is one of the worlds best modified LandRovers, nothing comes close in my mind.

    (excuse my poetic licence - I was a mere whippersnapper then)
    not sure what the scribbling in blue pertains to, but not Bills 6x6





    I just wish I could find my photos of it, heres a youtube clip

    Thanks - I used to have a copy of that video, but lost it due to a failed hard drive.

    No I doubt he would have it,
    I'll make a point of going to say hello & goodbye to Bill & take the original with me. Heading out in 2 weeks for a year or so on the road, doubt we will end up back in Vic.

    yes Damien,

    note the home made portals , will dig up a few more pics






    Bill is a dead set Legend, seems someone on here has ****ed him off, or else he is too busy in the shed.

    I think Bill has a fairly limited internet access as well
