There may also be a safety reason for using that color: The lions will want to throw up rather than eat the tourists.

Lotsa luck with the mug.........will look good in your new kitchen!

There is a 110 in the new outback steakhouse commercial in Canada. You just get a glance of it in the first few seconds and again at the end of the commercial. too have never gotten the covetted mug either

They have been doing a white kitted out 110 in their commercials for a long time. I checked and they do not give a discount for a kitted out Series truck sitting in front of the front door.

There is a recent hard alcohol (sorry forgot the type) commercial that has a glance of a SIII front that has been showing recently.

If you watch the movie Taking Woodstock you will see the same Series rig in a good half dozen scenes. Though if memory serves the first shot shows its nose sticking out of a garage with the bonnet up.

That sucks...we should all show up at the same restraunt and demand a discount...hahaha. My wife thinks I am crazy just because I get excited everytime I see a Defender or Series on tv or a movie. Just noticed in national treasure II they have an 109, she said I tell her that every time we watch the movie.

Check the sightings section, there are links to the video. It was for Absolute Vodka.

Stick with it... there'll come a day when she'll point them out for you after some good conditioning...it's a good day when that occurs.

Mine wife is always stopping movies and rewinding them spotting LRs. I'm not sure how many mugs she has now.

About movies,

Long ago I remember seeing a black and white movie that took place in I think South Africa. Maybe having something to do with diamond mines. Anyway there were a lot of scenes with Land Rovers and I vaguely remember a chase scene involving multiple Land Rovers. It has been decades since I have seen this movie but the Land Rover chase scene stands out in my mind.

Anyone know what the movie was?

I have a copy of it, looked for a long time after I saw the movie years ago.

OJ Simpson gets killed in it.

[rwollschlager]

that has to be one of the coolest car chases I have ever seen! I wonder how many half shafts they broke filming doing all those burnouts and drifts. I thought I was the only one who drove their rover like that

Just watched both the vidio clips on utube pretty good chase and a bunch of Rovers doing their thing

For a couple of years, until somewhat recently (I first noticed the switch last fall - and sent in a sighting), at least here in the Midwest, Outback had been using a white Toyota in their TV ads.
