Good luck. There are some people(don't know them, but Bruce comments on the lovely condition of it every time we take the dog to the canal for a walk) who have the green Land Rover ambulance who live round the corner and down the road from me are in it too. Article in Leicester Mercury last night.

I was just reading about this elsewhere, too late for me to be involved (and muffin is in need of work before any long drives).

Best wishes to you all.

stuck all over his car.

I've suddenly realised that I've buggered up the idea of 'spread betting' and accidentally got into 'spread sponsoring'. Give my hugs to Sarah in the ex-RAF ambi if she bumps into you, and also give my regards to the two others - erm, who I've forgotten, if you bump into them.

Have fun and... sigh... let me know where to send you the Tenner... (I paid the others in advance) :-)

By the way, I hate you (don't think I've mentioned that recently).

Kin eck - small world - that's Sarah. When (if) she gets back - mention me and give her my, Charlotte and Max's love would you?

She's a smashing bod and I have a great deal of time for her. I took her, Clafton and a few others out for a 'learning day' offroading a couple of years ago, some pics are still available at

- (this was one of the lastgroups I took to this lane as too many sad f*ckwits started using itand rutting it up very, very badly. I go quite often, but only forreparation work these days). Oddly, it was while looking for Neil at the Indoor 4x4 Show that Sarah grabbed my collar and - erm, asked me to sponsor her...

I'll put a note through the door on the way back from taking the kids to school.

Make it a Ten Pound note - it is a good cause, after all :-)

I know. They visited my Dad every day, including Christmas Day and Boxing Day. He died the next morning. Will put one in envelope with note.

Nikki - Go knock on the door - she loves to chat about landrovers, like we all do, you can give her some suggestions on the colour scheme for painting the ambi (or B'ambi as its now known - probabily cos it was very dear to buy !) , her 110 is called B'Lue)

Left to Bruce he'd probably retain the original colour. He's partial to green.

As its gonna hang out with a tiger striped 101 and potentially a zebra striped dodge 50 4x4 it really needs something a little more interesting, we were thinking of gieraffe type colouring

Also for africa its just a tad military looking - morocco border guards would probabily get a bit excited and may say no to entry

Rich

OK, so it's essentially military, but how about the dazzle-pattern that was used at one point in the Western Desert -- overall yellow with tapered stripes of blue and grey?

On the other hand, for anything like a desert expedition, you really want your vehicle to be easy to see.

These are some of the vehicles my brother has applied vinyl graphics to.

?pageimages/Response-Mini_large.jpg The Mini is his, and its real colour is charcoal. He lives in Perth, but my other brother Tom(lives in Kent) does the same thing. When we were down there for my Grandparents 70th wedding anniversary the other week he was showing us some photo's of Patricks car half done.
