Hi all,
There is an exclusive interview with legendary Land Rover engineer Arthur Goddard broadcast live on Periscope this Thursday evening. Arthur is better know as the man behind Vehicle Components.
http://www.lro.com/news/land-rover/1509 ... -periscope!/
When we dropped in at Vehcile Components for a factory tour last year we were told we had just missed Arthur as he had gone to the airport & that he was one of the engineers that designed the Land Rover.
I said that's a copy of the Jeep isn't it. Lucky he is not here was the reply.
happy camping

Rob, don't get me started....LOL
Jeep perfomed well in European conditons in WWII, but Land Rover opened up the world.......
Land Rover's gearing is legendary...
Jeep = the original 4X4 = had 4 wheels, 4 corners and went 4 miles..........
Of course. you know I am just kidding.
I am saddened to see the Defender going the way of the VW bug......safety issues......(but that is just driver error....)
