Hi.
My background is 30 years of Infantry soldiering in the British
and other armies . I now work as a Battlefield Guide
(Ypres/Somme/Berlin/Dunkirk) ,as a means of financing my travels.
I own a 98 Colorado VX automatic with a rooftent which I have so far
taken to Morocco,Croatia and most of Europe.
I am preparing for a round the world trip in 2007 (draw system,60L water
tank,new shocks/springs/tyres ) and to shake things out I intend to
drive down to Mauretania this December for a few months.
I normally travel alone, prefer wild places and have driven 'Cruisers in
the Sahara, Namibian Desert (including Skeleton Coast), S Africa
,Colorado etc etc.
I know damn all about vehicle mechanics/electrics etc which is why I
opted for the most reliable vehicle I could buy. I'm open to any advice
that anyone can give me about keeping the vehicle going on a long
journey and any suggestions for improved comfort/ reliability and
general tricks of the trade.
Regards,Martin
