Another fun obstacle outing with the club yesterday. A good mix of Defenders, Discos, and two RRSs. Unfortunately I lost a side skirting on a steep drop, but loads of fun nonetheless 😂

Oh, one of the more interesting things we've seen on safari: there was a photographer and a model there, doing a naked photoshoot with cheetahs: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWbdjlvjq3k/ 😅 this is them doing the same with elephants: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWFx7-DlExj/

On our last evening, we got the chance to help the staff to offload two rescue cheetahs into their temporary boma. https://www.facebook.com/508639096/videos/pcb.10161318932524097/605727897368391 https://www.facebook.com/508639096/videos/pcb.10161318932524097/648089439958490

Hi, The Mrs & I spent a few days at Tiger Canyon (http://tigercanyon.com/), a reserve establised about 20 years ago to save the endangered Bengal tiger, and now they have wild tigers roaming free as the apex predator in the reserve. What an amazing experience: the one day we chilled not 2m from a pair of cheetahs eating a freshly-killed blesbok If you ever make it to ZA, I highly recommend a visit: it's a very small eco lodge, max 6 guests, so a very personalised service. We drove the 1900km round trip in the Rangie, with excellent fuel consumption even though on the return trip the ambient temps were 34-38C the whole day. Here are some photos, videos will be up in a few days. rest of the photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PKSdfFGrWgHaDxW37

Well, that didn't take long! https://shop.glohh.com/en_us/gf-1

Err, Saab had rear-wheel steering in the 90s. Never an issue on my 9-3 Aero, handling was impeccable.

Has anyone fitted one of these? https://www.raptor4x4.co.uk/landrover-tyrex-e-locker.html

Apparently they don't think it's that big of a deal when I told them that what they're doing is misleading:

This is warning to all to avoid buying from https://defenderupgrades.co.uk/ I ordered a double-din fascia from, but they sent the wrong side panel switch - the website shows the panel with the round cutout, but they sent the one with only buttons, which I can't use because I have a Madman EMS. this is what the website shows (https://defenderupgrades.co.uk/product/double-din-dashboard-matt-black-centre-fascia-console-movable-air-vents/): this is what arrived: My email went unanswered, but they eventually responded on Facebook: "Ours only come with new style side panel now" So nevermind that they didn't update the photos on their website, and are therefore wilfully misleading their customers, but they are basically telling me to p*** off. bunch of exercisers, last time I'm ordering from them 😡
