Just another demonstration on why the T3 Syncro is miles better than a land rover :lol:

Or the syncro was just better prepared of course.

Old engines break down, whatever the make, especially if they are not maintained correctly.

Nice trip though, and made me think of Ewan and thingys mick take videos of the long way around.

I would rather be in the syncro though, all that space and comfort and leg room!!!

Nice one Jed

I've passed it on to the LR forum we've just had to rejoin; what with us being Gaylander owners too now...

The syncro parked near me in our crew area at Glastonbury had a small sticker above the towbar:

"Attach Landrover Here". :D

Its actually a compliment to Land Rovers that they found a head in the middle of Sudan! Love the video though - might have to watch their whole series..

Love that Ewan and Thingy...

We saw you a few times around the site rescuing stuff. :)

If you saw a yellow high top nearby, in Folly Ground, that was me.
