All this talk of registration & waivers reminded me of a thought I had during the rally. When we sign the Durhamtown registration/waiver we protect Durhamtown from any action that might be taken against them as the result of an incident or accident while we're on their property. However, there...

The ever-present Bedford 4 tonner, a proper classic!

Yeh there were a few still around the fire when we showed up, offering around spirited refreshments in plastic bottles and such. If I made a false accusation of you staying up drinking I apologize, either way it was a guy in camo with a funny accent, do you know him? :lol: So on that note...

Once again, thanks to all that put forward the effort for us all to have a great weekend. Having been a past president of the Southern Land Rover Society and having organized and been involved in our annual rally I fully agree with poppops comments; there will always be a core group that can...

Thanks to all involved in organizing, it is an outstanding event and can't wait for next year!! Cheers to all of you :beer: Jon

Arrived home around 1330, only incident a slight clutch fluid leak found while creeping along I20 balancing the clutch. Just recently woke up on the couch :mrgreen: Had a great weekend with lots of very friendly people, thanks for making us welcome (not something that's happened at every MV...

Thanks Rec. So, if memory serves, that would be along the tree line past the MKT and behind the vendors? Was only there for a short while last year and don't recall seeing any tents. It would be awfully impolite of me to find a spot in a deuces wheel tread after pitching in the wrong place :razz:

I won't be arriving until some time between 10pm & midnight, is there anywhere in particular I should go for tent camping? I wouldn't want to be driving around in the dark waking everyone up Cheers Jon

Was a good time, nice meeting some of you, and really put me in the mood for SSGR11!

Thanks alot Joe, I'm glad I asked 'cause I thought it would run longer. Hope to see some of you tomorrow Jon

I'm planning on going up for the day on Saturday, what's a good time to show up (not too early, not too late, just right [thumbzup]) also, what time does this shindig usually run until? Cheers

We may have got a bit off topic, but ah well... (sorry admins) There's a Top Gear where Jeremy puts the Range Rover Sport up against a British Challenger II youtube :D

REG No & Serial No confirm date as 1979 RHD GS (General Service 12v) But definitely has had some civie mods - obviously diesel conversion - headlights aren't original (no chrome on a mil truck) - eye-bolts on front bumper aren't original (lifting points are on top of the chassis, just behind...

Mine's a Petrol engine. What are the details of the diesel in NC? (PM me a link if you don't want it public ~ I'm not in the market for another just interested) There were only 1909 diesel Lightweights factory prepared, all of which were LHD (plus a couple of petrols converted to diesel for...

Thanks Jime. Anything on LRX always seems a higher than normal price (or maybe I'm just a cheap arse), I didn't pay that much, but I would hope that you'd get a nicer example if you payed that kind of a price. The Lwt is a RHD, here's the link for a bit more info & pics...
