New to forum from Lincolnshire

Hi there

New to this forum - joined mainly to get the contact details from someone but figured I may as well stick about for a bit and see what it's all about :). I am not an expert in off-roading (done quite a few thousand miles on sand though!) or mechanics by any stretch of the imagination - thought perhaps I could pick up on a few tips on this forum 

I have a 1963 Land Rover 2a SWB Petrol. Previously had an SJ 410 which we took to Mongolia.

I have taken the landie to Algeria and back, next trip is probably Morocco. Few pics of the landie:

Looked like this at one point!











I have 2 other 4X4 cars - a Celica GT4 ST205 and a Mazda 323 GTX Turbo but don't get those muddy so you wouldn't be interested :)


And the other family vehicles:





(don't have pics of the other Range Rover or the other Series 2)

Hello and welcome.

It's nice to see someone local to me for a change.

Love the pictures! Hope you enjoy yourself here.

Mark.

hello and welcome, great pics. i love the jerry can storage on the landy

[rustyrhinos]

Thanks jay :)

It was pretty much the only place we could think of putting them. Lots of people put them on the roof I know but I would find taking them down to fill and re-fuel quite annoying! Even with 3 jerry cans we needed more fuel for one of the crossings due to rubbish fuel economy - so had to carry an extra 60 litres in the back!
