Hey Axle, if you like this stuff you should wander down to Busselton sometime and visit a very good friend of mine. He started his private museum just gathering interesting mechanical stuff he finds travelling around the world. He has some really cool stuff there, old trucks, cranes, machines etc.

If you like I will PM you the exact address Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

The same fire station used to have a classic RR with 6 wheels! I think you guys cal it a 6x4. I used to go past as a kid and see it always thinking it looked super cool and would be quite at home on tracy island. I will ask the chap what happened to it

Yes! Just like that one.

Wow what is the other contraption? Looks kind of like a Unimog but isn't.

Err, Whistle I know that this is a Range Rover sight, but that is a poor excuse for getting the vehicle model wrong......I think you will find that it is a Series 3 LWB Land Rover, not a short wheel base Defender. The split screen and set back grill sort of give it away Wink

But I will say that it looks to be in very good shape Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Just wondering if it's a std 2 1/4 lt, or has it been breathed on by the factory, could be a 2.6 6 pot...... Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
