It seems that running threads are the norm here, so I guess I'll start my own. Heading down Africa now with my Defender, Attenborough. I'll likely post photos mainly, but maybe the occasional story as I try to write more. At the moment I'm in The Gambia, and if one more guy tells me that my...

Bananas, I love it

Part of me feels that way, but I really don't want to encourage the behaviour or the expectation that foreigner=gift.

My introduction to off-road trails, or pistes as they're called in Morocco got off to, shall we say a rocky start. I chose the High Atlas Mountain piste MH1 as it fit nicely into my proposed route through the country and Morocco Overland promised that it was a "meaty crossing", which sounded...

Funny to watch all the people show up and play a part. You don't keep any sand tracks with you?

Here ya go :)

Yeah, I have been thinking that maybe it's an omen to stay away from the puma engine.. The thing is that my salesman was perfect in the beginning, and even for a month after the order as I made some changes, but it seems he wasn't actually doing anything with my emails. Oh well. I left a...

So, I'll start with the fact that I'm pretty well beyond angry right now, but I need to sort out a solution more than I need to be angry, so let's proceed. Background info (quick version), I'm from New York, left my life there behind to travel full time, been in Europe for 6 months, decided to...

Very cool replacement, but I think that the first picture requires a little bit of explanation.. I know the Montero is capable, but that's like an 87 degree decline..

I'm starting to agree with you. I may just go with my website along the sides. I am doing a big map on the utility section though, but there is no doubt in my mind about that one..

What do you guys think about: "I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time."

Appreciate the comments. It's interesting to hear all of this. I have been a sports car guy for the last six or so years in New York, so I didn't see "One Life. Live It." until I started noticing Land Rovers around the UK a few months ago. So for me it's completely new and I've only maybe seen...

So I've seen the phrase on a ton of Defenders, I really like it and I'm planning on putting it on mine as well. But I'm curious if anyone knows where/when it started? Also, is it a Land Rover thing, or an all around overland thing? Just trying to understand the origins and current usage a bit...

The giraffe picture with your kids is priceless. They're very fortunate to have such a cool experience at that age.
