    Close call

    So i'm driving home from a mate's house this afternoon on a typical country road which, like most roads in Hampshire at the moment, pretty well flooded. I'm not kicking the arse out of it, cruising along at around 55mph. Suddenly from the hedge row on my left not 30 yards ahead an old guy in a...

    I think i messed up!

    So, feeling brave this evening i decided to investigate the squealing noise emanating from my front starboard side brake. Turns out there was very little left on the pad so i thought as i already had the spares in the garage 'how hard can it be?' The removal of the old ones and fitting of the...

    A Great Quote..

    Received this from a mate, no idea where he got it, but it sums up my LandCruiser obsession... ...every time you trek to some inaccessible part of the world using helicopters and specialist equipment, you will arrive to find a family having a picnic on the tailgate of their 1980s Land Cruiser...
