I have an idea for a new thread...

Thats like a LandRover owner saying that part of the fun is cleaning up oil. No man, just no.

 

I think LandRover owners tend to make more camp fires than other people as they tend to make camp fires while waiting for tow-in services to find them.

This is one of those times you want the fire to burn through the night while you sleep to keep you warm.

 

There is a similar method used in the Siberian regions, except they use longer logs and then these logs also act as a heat shield to project the radiant energy in your direction where you are camping/sleeping.

 

Will see if I can find a clip of it quickly.

Yup. Precisely.

Part of the fun is leaking oil on other peoples driveways

Roof top tent - like a tortoise - slow, and wherever you stop (intentionally or otherwise) you have your home with you.

 

Like lock-down, but you can still go places and stick to the rules by staying at home.

Remember, Landys don't leak oil... they're just marking their territory

[Grebel]

At least if it leaks oil you know it has oil.

Friends of ours here in Spain have an old Landy. They bought it second hand when they got here because they needed something to pull a trailer and "do work". I hate to think how much they've spent on it so far, thousands .  . . . and Euros, not Rands, 

 

The last big job was after something went wrong and one (possibly more) of the pistons melted and fused with the engine block. I saw the engine when it was opened up and the middle of it was just a blob.

 

They're currently in the "we've spent so much on it so far, we can't stop now or it will all have been a waste" stage of life . . .

Since this is the "Awesome" thread........

 

The Landy people are awesome, a bit crazy, definitely a little fanatic, very passionate. The picture is my rear view mirror once when we were part of the longest convoy of any car make and set a new Guinness World record. We met Kingsley Holgate at Cape Point when he departed for his round the outside of Africa expedition to wish him well and drove in convoy along the Atlantic (Argus 2nd half) to Cape Town. I don't recall how many Landies were involved, but when we crested Chapmans Peak, I could still see the tail end of the convoy come through Kommetjie.

The "crazy" man and some fans before cutting the ribbon to officially start his expedition. True to form, he used a Leatherman tool, not a pair of scissors like a city slicker!

You know what they call a group of Landies?
