Geek :shock:
Okay it's true :lol:
That's exactly what I was thinking of.

However............. you'e showing geekness by naming the owner.

It was initially built in the mid-80's by a magazine called '4x4 Driver' (or was it just '4x4') & built for the then editor Colin Dawson - who then went onto 'International Off-Road & 4x4' (where Frank Elson started writing about LR's)
