    We're happy to say that Muddy Boots has been fixed up and has since taken us on two mega journeys through Europe :-) Nothing like a landy!!

    @LittlepepeMYJAVA The song is "Bad water rising" by our dear friend Carl Reuter "Big ol' Bluesman" who unfortunately passed away a few months ago ... RIP

    Not sure if this was already mentioned in comments, but holy smokes there sure were a lot of people sitting/standing within the danger zone! If any of those winch cables would've snapped, people could've gotten badly injured. Other than that, I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing.

    I am with you on this one, i worked at garage that specializes in landrover. They built a competition landrover that competes against Toyota's and highly specialized vehicles. They win 9 out of 10 times, it has won an event with a broken gearbox casing, no gearbox oil. they just coverd the gearbox up with a garbage bag so that no sand can get in during the dune climbs.

    I returned from a visit to my mother last year to find my Series III up to its windscreen in water in an underground car park. I removed my shoes and trousers, waded in, started it up and drove home with no problem, other than a soggy arse and a nasty smell. It'd been there for two weeks. Bear in mind, it's a hydrophobic V8 petrol too, not even a diesel. They're solid beasts these Land Rovers.

    You guessed correctly. I've heard them called "limb risers". I've never really seen them in action, but I see them on Land Rovers in videos a lot.

    Marvelous! Fabulous! He's my hero forever! The most beautiful motor show I ever seen! I'm sure the entire world hafta be jaw-hanging in disbelief, with all this magic mesmerizing people! I'm getting mad about going early morning to buy some 4X4 and begin to learn some of all that incredible tech. OMG! Wow! Lmfao! What have I lost all my life?

  • @ASimplyFabLife
    @ASimplyFabLife  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Tim, the goal was to get a stamp/marker in a tree on the right side. What we didn't know is that the landowner had graded a v-gully and a top winch should have been used ;-) Invaluable lessons indeed! Feel free to read the full story (see in video description) ...

  • @1991Timmo

    only with the difference that a defender got a permanent four wheel drive system, no leaf springs at the back, much better angles all around and is so much better offroad. Yes apart from such tiny details you are completely right!

    Awesome.. how can ppl diss the Defender for what it got through before the deeper bomb hole and the role was more the drivers fault than the vehicle, nothing compares to a Land Rover and the fact the engine was running an hour later proves this.. Best 4x4 By Far!

    In reply to your post..I doubt anyone there new what they were doing..Those guys with the 4x4 looked like they had no idea! For starters it rolled because he didn't even correct the steering..he was turning in the wrong direction..it was inevitable that he was gonna roll..watch it again.cheers!

    • @ASimplyFabLife
      @ASimplyFabLife  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, we agree! So do a load of other people ... JLR have had to increase production of the Defender by 120 extra a week to keep up with demand. Surely, that would be a good enough reason to keep this model??

    • @ASimplyFabLife
      @ASimplyFabLife  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Quite right - but If the Def uses a Transit engine then the Transit should be killed off for the same reason? (along with every other van...?)
