I've looked at a lot of adapted Land Rovers, all trying to make the best use of limited space. This is the most ingenious I've ever seen. And a great intimate piece of video too:

Had a VERY brief encounter with a Swiss couple in my home town in Scotland. I was rushing through a carpark with two small children running late for a pizza-making birthday party in the local pizza shop when I saw their splendid home-made camper. It was based on a Toyota 4x4 pickup and had a...

Been having some electrical problems with my Land Rover 110 which has a pair of batteries connected with an IBS Split Charge Battery Monitor system. My Eberspacher has been flashing up low-voltage cut-out warnings and shutting down, even when the battery is supposedly fully charged. Charge seems...

Yes, the MILD west. Of Scotland! Anyone who followed my Land Rover 110 home-made lifting roof adventure will know what I've got. Last week I took my son William (7) for a run over to the west coast, to my home district of Lochaber, to show him some of the places I used to work and play in...
