Hi all, Been a while since i was here - been busy with the day job, not much time recently for thinking about off-roading, expeditions, etc. Anyway - I'd like to ask you all for your opinions on the following.... What are you thoughts on being able to hire an off-road trailer to take on an...

Hi Booger Thanks - A few short trips in the Pyrenees. Worked out great, no bother to tow, weighs 940kg dry, about 1,300kg with all my gear. Alas, I had to sell it, so now in other hands (up in Scotland now) but planning on making another, although will take a slightly different...

I was accusing RR of backing tracking but you are gwetting the quotes mixed up, your quoting me replying to Griffdawg!!! RR made a direct reference to me, he did atempt backtrack, and you don´t like what I say about your website link or obvois inexperience so naturally you choose this stance.

that´s not the quote i was refering to and you know it,

And While we are on the subject of opinions Griffdawg, stange that you chose not to reply to my comment on your post in another thread - Griffdawg wrote "a note on Morocco, a friend we met at Portsmouth dock prior to departure stopped overnight in Algerciras and had the rear quater window...

Yes, that´s the point right, its a forum where people can express an opinion. This ttread was started by someone asking for opinions on landrover vs landcruisers. If they are going to read the replies, which I suppose they will, I see it as only valuable that they are able to gauge the level of...

So...what exactly has been said that is "ignorant" Infering that because I choose a reliable vehicle i want to make my jourmey as easy as possibbe. Its an ignorant comment because you are enitrely ignorant of all the other motivation I may have for my journey. Ignorant - ´lack of...

OH, sure, all that considerable effort on your website, extended articles, carefully chosen photos, comprehensive evaluations of your kit, and the only link you provide to an alternative is a link to the Azalia website.

And while I´m having to correct ignorant statements or opinions, here´s another. Cassie , what on earth are you doing recommeding the Azalai? And are you qualified? Do you think you should recommend anything, seeing as you didn´t even appear to have spare wheel for your caravan? The...

I find there are plently of rewarding challenges to be had when overlanding that don´t involve tedious mechanical failer. I don´t see how that suggests I try to make my expeditions as éasy as possible´. If you rely on vehicle failer for your challenges then you must tbe doing somehting...

goodwoodweirdo You´ve just got to read Cassie´s web page, go to ´Vehicle & Caravan Mechanical fault issues´ I rest my case. Poor Cassie, thinks they were unfortunate! Truth is this is the norm for many landrovers. Lets see how they feel next year when they have had another set of...

Hi Matt From what I can see you are planning some long trips. Your right that the landrover wins hands down when it comes to options, layouts, looks etc. However, with long, solo, trips in mind I think you have to consider the reliability factor. Boring I know, and it´s easy to imagine...

nice rig - very nice

a note on Morocco, a friend we met at Portsmouth dock prior to departure stopped overnight in Algerciras and had the rear quater window smashed and they got in and stole his clothes, camping stove, pots, chair etc etc etc. he riveted the seatbox cover plate over it for the duration in Morocco...
