nickwilliams Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It appears that the Daily Telegraph's idea of what constitutes a 'bizarre' Landrover would not stretch the imagination of many people here! Methinks they need to get out more. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Barrett Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Blimey, there were wierder things in the car park at Billing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Some of those are just standard Land Rovers with a bolt on accessory or a paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Next they'll do 'Top 10 bizarre Transit Vans' and each one will have completely different sign writing (But they will all of course still be white) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I think that's 10 nice trucks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Bizarre??? Really? I think that the only reason they think they are bizarre is because they are only used to the shiny school run/chelsea tractor brigade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Agree with Zim, they are all nice Landy's though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdulas Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I agree with the above, apart from the forestry one and the tracked one they're all pretty standard, albeit rare. Bizarre should include the centaur half track and the amphibious ones surely? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy'd Gentry Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Next they'll do 'Top 10 bizarre Transit Vans' and each one will have completely different sign writing (But they will all of course still be white) They may have left the factory painted white, but will no doubt, be in various colours as door / bonnet panels are replaced to create a multi-coloured contraption that defies logic.

Guest Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Agree with Zim, they are all nice Landy's though The Series 2 Fire Engine is a bit weird thought, I mean who would have one of those!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Some perfectly normal trucks I thought!! Some lovely examples they've found to photograph....the tracked 109 looks like the one from gaydon...could be others though The Series 2 Fire Engine is a bit weird thought, I mean who would have one of those!! A friend volunteers at the Weedon fire museum (yet to open)...they have a prototype 6-wheel fire-engine (cant remember if its 6x6 or 6x4)..now thats weird...it failed its brake test when laden so never went to production...it would have passed if disks were around...

missingsid Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Don't get it, pic 1. This 'snow blade' attachment on a 1954 Series 1 could come in handy during the winter Isn't that the whole point????????? Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 This 'snow blade' attachment on a 1954 Series 1 could come in handy during the winter Hidden meaning The snow blade could have come in handy during the winter, but as anybody who has ever tried driving on ice with 6.00x16 Avon crossplies will remember quite clearly, it would in reality be completely useless due to being upside down in the ditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James NZ Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi guys I see the press over there is as bad as they are here, sombody was desperate for a "story" to fill space. Loved the forward control. Went to buy a 2b many years ago but what with the girlfriend moaning, the series landies eating me out of house and home and the sad state the 2b was in I had to forgo the pleasure. Gee, now I'm feeling all nostalgic. Where's the rum Cheers, James NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Picture 7 was taken at the Ford across the River Darent at Eynsford, which is not too far from me wonder if it was good planning on the pr front that made them use a fiesta.....
