LandyManLuke Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Having a bit of a clear-out, I've found a copy of All Wheel Driver from 1986. I was 1 back then, so whilst it's an interesting read, it's not all that relevant. I was wondering if anyone on here was around back then, and might even be in it.

Night Train Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I was a member in 1986 when I had my first Land Rover. You are making me feel old but it would be interesting to see it. I could pm my address if you wouldn't mind sending it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landmannnn Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 No, that was the publication with the catchy title of "4x4 and off road action" or something like that. It was mostly full of articles about TEW ...X, a hybrid still in one of the comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I was very much around then and took the mag but didn't have time to mess about attempting to get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9OSV Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I had just left school and used to drive 90's and 110's on the farm............... I was lucky enough lin later years to be given a great many publications from around this time all the way through the 90's and i always find it amusing that so many ideas that we call new, have been done before.............and had articles written about it The articles i found more amusing, in particular the ones about the heavy trials and was it the 'Milk float' that springs to mind???? Can't rememeber exactly, but by God it was funny. Thats when the magazines where written by enthusiats for enthusiats and it showed. I must be getting old, all this "Back in my day" stuff Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Train Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I remember that one! Around that time there was a Range Rover with a TR7 body shell doing comp safaris (Alvin Smith springs to mind, nope it was Keith Gott). I also remember a chap called Tony Parrott doing a lot of modified trials where the tyre of choice were from building site dumper trucks.

I also remember a chap called Tony Parrott doing a lot of modified trials where the tyre of choice were from building site dumper trucks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nope - you were right the first time Alvin Smith built this TR8 , he had a garage at Wallis wood - he also built the very first Bobtail rangie for the Chairman of the all wheel drive club , that i seem to remember was because the rangie was rear ended in a crash so it got chopped shorter. Then he built a all alloy safari car but it was banned until he put a steel cage round it. I trialed with Tony Parrott many times also his side kick was Ray Kempster 2 guys that pushed the sport forward - but its not moved much since.
