The air displays were awesome but the Vulcan really was the best!

Just read the article in LRO on your friend's work - serious attention to detail (due to his his previous profession, no doubt!).

Seriously well kitted out fleet of vehicles and so well planned out, from the ground up.

Well, I can´t I hide, can I? :D

I am not done yet with the work over of the LR-130CC-R(hino) as I still have to do the front axle and the electrics, but I am on my second Bowler Experience Tour now.

I introduced this last year when I did a 2.5 week tour of Europe, supported by Bowler, Land Rover and IFOR Williams Trailers.

Since then a few things have developed and now I am coin a full 6 week Tour (also see: https://www.facebook.com/BowlerExperienceTour)

I picked up my Boiwer EXR last month...

This year the Tour is a joint venture between Rallyewerk and Desert Foxx Racing and thus it gives me more time and also opens up some new opportunities.

The towing car for the Tour again is my 130CC-R and the trailer of choice...yeah, what else ;-)

More to come as I am also going to pick a few more pieces of kit for my Defender along the road.

Andreas,
do you refer to the MAN KAT 6x6 of Desert Foxx?
That would then be 6x Nordic Lights, though I don´t know the exact spec, but I can find out tomorrow, if you like.

Hey Robert

I guess I was not quite clear. I meant the white Defender from Desert Foxx on page 85. Which also has that nice roof tent in a box, which I would like to know.

danke und Gruss

Howdy! :rally_guys: I am back from the road :coffee: unbelievable….

The Rhino is up for a complete oil change on Monday and somewhere along the last 1500 miles I lost my 5th gear :-(

The IFOR Williams Trailer is back in the workshop and all cars are back with their owners (911 Safari) or currently being serviced (EXR).

My "Bowler Experience Tour 2013" has finally come to a successful end and it was rather eventful ;-)
