  1. Well, an extinguisher would not have helped here then... Full set of piccies
  2. Being that stupid and doing it with a full set of passengers... Dumb @ss...
  3. My best bet is to call the Evening Standard and ask... They seem to know more about the trucks that we drive than we do. They are journalists after all, and have to report in an honest and unbiased way... (Or is that only in my dreams?)
  4. So how can they check that dics while your are moving?
  5. Mine are mainly brown with a slightly brown tracer... Sorry, no help there then I guess... Door... Coat... Thanks...
  6. Just be careful in Belgium. Going off road or greenlaning is not allowed unless it is organised and the organisation has a licence. If they get you doing off road in forested areas, or rural areas, they have the right to impound your car. And the 'I am British, I did not know' does not work. Very strict. Just over the border to France and the rules are a complete reverse...
  7. Brrrrrr... That got me shivering...
  8. I recall that I have seen pictures of a soft top Defender 110 or Series 109 being crash tested in the spirit of a British Forces safety instructional video. In the picture you could clearly see the driver dummy being launched, the rear axle coming loose (hence my thinking it would rather be a 110) with a subscript saying something like 'always wear your helmet and a seatbelt' Does anyone know of these pictures?
  9. So you are not worried about condensation? Or did you add 'ventilation' openings?
  10. I see that the scrap iron one is fairly similar to the Australian ones... Go figure... Maybe Ali Read could start sending them over?
  11. Could even be condensation that forms between the room and the upholstery... It saves parking the 90 on a face-up angle... Little front elevation would do!
  12. Couple of weeks ago whilst turing onto the motorway I drove behind one of these just when it started aquaplaning up a hill. It flipped over, ripped open and 30000 liters of petrol and diesel spilt onto the motorway and partly over my car. Switched the engine off, called the fire brigade (Based right at the onramp of the motorway) and waited 5 minutes before they laid a carpet of foam on and under the car. Then they opened the hood and sprayed foam there as well. Took me out of the vehicle and brought me to safety... Fire brigade said I was lucky that the petrol did not reach the exhaust, and that the exhaust was not really hot. (Drove about a minute and stopped before the liquids went over the vehicle) By turning off the engine and stopping the vehicle immediately I saved myself from being burnt alive... Had to change my underwear when I got home three hours later...
  13. "...Dodgy bits will be removed..." Well, I guess that does not leave much then... Oooooohhh... it is dodgy biDs...
  14. Just posted your warning on the Camel Owners club sites... Sorry for your loss. We'll be keeping our eyes and ears open!
  15. These Icelandic vehicles drive so fast with these huge wheels that they skim over the water... Big V8, Nitro, Mmmmmm... Funny that I do not see any Series there...
  16. I am sure that he could not find the correct setting on his Terrain Response button for: - Incoming tide - Brown slippery underpants - Slimey telephone call to insurance Co. - Rocky ride through work place and pubs full of people laughing at my utter and complete stupidity! I am sure that this will end up on www.WreckedExotics.com
  17. And can anyone tell him where the CAPSLOCK key is on his keyboard? As for the workshop manual or pics, there is a link (Quite a few actually) for which you can search where you can download the workshop manual... Ohhhhhh... look here http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=1442&hl=Download
  18. If so, you'd expect a higher number than 9, due to the immediate shinkage because of the cold...
  19. Can a Land Rover handle more? ...just do not hit the brakes that quickly...
  20. Just check it out... Plenty of opportunity! MaxiDrive
