Well kudos for beautiful pictures. But really? The shotgun scenes? Really? Could of used a nice Beretta Over and Under for those to complete the "look". Nice rover though...wonder if it has one of those hot press sandwich makers too...hmm.

... everyone becomes vicious and attacks the seller as being a scammer ...

I think you are making a little more of people's comments than intended. I see nothing more than a few harmless comments. Maybe I missed the part where someone claimed the seller was a scammer.

I can certainly appreciate & respect the amount of work that goes into a detailed vehicle like that. But, what's up with the axle bump stops mounted on the rear crossmember? Sorry, couldn't help myself.

It may be over the top but there are certain things about it I think are really cool, i.e. the roof hatch & wood trim.

Agreed, glamour shots and the 'J Peterman catalog' (lol) images aside... I do love the pride in ownership someone had here, and can certainly appreciate the
work.

PS: is the color truly Land Rover Grey # S 92578 ? I am thinking of giving my bugeye a facelift soon, and always liked this color, and wondering where to best source this paint also.

cheers, mike

As usual, I'm with Terrys 100%. Man is that thing cheesy. Love the binocs and "gun wot fires shot" Great Safari Joe outfit too.

[Terrys]

Geezzz guys. You have already ridiculed the future owner as a poser because the truck is currently really clean.

No darlin, you've missed the point. It's a nice truck and hopefully will end up in the hands of someone who will put it to "good" use.
It's the seller we're having fun with here. I didn't think that was so complicated to figure out.

Safari Journal

DAY ONE: Today I engaged the so-called "Low-Range" lever. To my utter surprise, the vehicle remained at a constant height. I immediately pulled out my Motorola Iridium Sat phone and although surrounded by hostiles (Gridlock traffic on the 405 outside Los Angeles) I was able to complete the call to the local safari expert - South Hollywood Land Rover.



DAY TWO: Egads! today whilst using my ATV winch to recover my purchases at Costco, I realized that the dashboard wood was not the walnut zebra birch pattern I had instructed my mechanic to install. Rather it was a common pine, this will no doubt affect the vehicle's entry into the Paris/Dakar pan-sahara/artic challenge.



DAY SEVEN: Today I spotted the elusive "bird of clay" at approximately 1000 yards. After emptying approximately 20 cases of .12 gauge ammunition with no effect, I realized my weapon must have a malfunction. I logged an entry into my Safari Journal (with a quill tipped pen, of course) to have the weapon immediately disassembled and mounted with a proper long range scope. I have also ordered a light beige linen Safari suit in hopes of blending in with my surroundings more effectively. NOTE TO SELF: Be sure to deploy the camo net around the vehicle at all times whilst parked. Last week, I nearly had my bumper blemished by some savage in the Starbucks parking lot.

^^LOL...^^

Day ten

It's raining, noticed what I believe is moisture inside my expedition vehicle, might be related, I'll have my mechanic check it out.


Honestly, maybe I am a bit jealous as I've been so busy trying to keep mine running that I've never had the time or money to do "fun" things to it...although I wouldn't have gone this far, but to each his own.

[TeriAnn]

..although I wouldn't have gone this far, but to each his own.

Gee and I was thinking his truck was a bit primitive for a full on expedition rig.

At least mine has a separate cabinet just to store tea which can hold up to seven tea boxes. And I don't recall seeing a knife rack. Mine has a custom hand made oak knife rack.

And his stove doesn't even have a broiler!



HOW
can one go on a long rage expedition
with such a primitive minimal feature rig like that??

Here wa my first expedition vehicle. Now I pack significantly less.

[leafsprung]

pshaw - I packed a metal lunchbox with a change of underwear a toothbrush a rain slicker and a pistol and took off on my unicycle . . ..

[o2batsea]

Love the roll cage screwed to the aluminum panels...

Terrie Ann, Darlin, who says you can't take the Kitchen with you? Priorities..... you got them in spades! ALL kitchen! Nothing else! You rock! Go Girl!

Day One: Drive to Trader Joe's, stock up on cookies, butter, candy, Ho-Ho's, Orange Soda, hot dogs, and organic nuts.

Day Two: I've eaten all the supplies, need to re-supply at Whole Foods, Ye Gods, they don't have candy, cookies, spam, nuts, or butter filled sugar bombs, make that Kroger.



Day Three: Explore options, Wegmans, Stew Lenoards, or Dollar Store, hmmmmmmm, provisioning is always a challenge.
