      Great story telling Andrew and wonderful that you’re both settled here and enjoying the beauty of our country - most of my list is a bit unconventional but here it it. Now a Toyota convert after many issues with Subarus.
      Feb 2020 pre-covid - Toyoto Hilux Auto 2010 4wD Dual Cab stock at the moment but researching aluminium slide-on tyres, dual battery systems etc. already fantastic off-road (no surprise) and comfortable daily driver.
      Apr 2015 - Toyota Hilux Manual 2002 Turbo Diesel Dual Cab - extremely capable off-road but very uncomfortable as a daily driver
      Subaru Forester 1997 - first model of the series and went places conventional 4WDs feared to go - ground clearance limitations
      Jul 2005 to Nov 2019
      Subaru Forester 2001, 1999, 2009 XT Turbo - head gasket issues with 2.5 engines
      Sept 2004 - Subaru Outback 1996 - ironically useless in the ‘outback
      Oct 1999 - Subaru Liberty Wagon 1991 - major issues with air suspension
      Dec 1988 Subaru Leone Wagon 1981 - converted to automatic - could climb walls but lack of ground clearance
      Kind regards John in SA

    Andrew is actually a storyteller. There are 50 minutes of a retrospective of life and the cars that accompanied and helped make it. Stories! Magnificent stories that are listened to with attention as if the screen had a glue that does not allow us to take off. Fantastic.
    I would also like to see the trip that is opening this fantastic Land Cruiser. By the way Andrew, this color seems designed to be in the bush.
    Have a nice trip and greetings to you and your wife.

    I just bought my first G-Wagen (1998 G320 V6 Puch) after 20 years of nothing but Land Rover. Sold the Defender 110 300Tdi, and I do miss it. But I still have a Series IIa, and another Rover or two. But the G-Wagen engineering is hard to ignore. It is exceptional off road. Quieter than my wife's X5 at 70mph. Your videos are what helped me branch out. And although I'll always at least have the Series Rover, I'm glad I broke away a bit for my daily driver and long trip vehicle.

      Got to say 5 things:
      1- in the 1993 Range Rover classic with coils Springs the traction control did work in front and rear wheels (owned one)
      2-Cant belive you didn't liked the discovery 1 v8 specially with the r380 manual transmission. What a beast and a excellent balance between off and on road performance (owned one)
      3- York missed one of the best of 4x4 ever made, the Nissan Patrol Y60 or Y61. Those have a very well mix between the Toyota reliability and the land Rover off/on road performance (owned both )
      4- The best 4x4 by far is the G class (owned a G 500 463 cabriolet )
      5- Forget about land cruisers (owned a 80 series, a 01 Prado and a 05 hilux) and get you a 2019 G class 300 professional edition

    Really great stories, so, I have had a 94 RRC, with air susp., converted it to OME coils when it failed in Colorado, luckily outside my hotel door, ordered the coil kit, drove it 300 km on the bump stops (fun crossing railways) and converted it in my friend’s garage. I have an LR3 - first air suspension problem I put coils and lift on it. That is essential for anything air suspension used in any remote location. I have a 95 Discovery, 5 speed, the default fail safe (too old and too useful to sell). Your Lesotho Babboon’s pass LR4 trip shows the hidden secret, they are spectacular performers off road. New Defender, for me would be steel wheels, coils - basic as it can be... You are a rock star...

    Hi Andrew, I have just watched your story above and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being an expat South African now living in Queensland, it was good to hear some of the names associated to off roading in South Africa. I love the outdoors and travelled to many places you mentioned in your story which are very happy memories for me. While watching your shoots of your various trips I recognised one item you used on nearly all of your trips across Southern Africa which you don't have here anymore. I do have a few of them and would like to send you one if possible. It will not take up any of your space or add extra weight. Please could you let me know how I could post one to you in Perth, possibly a PO Box etc. If you don't want to use it for whatever reason after seeing it, I won't be offended, but it would put a smile on many of your followers faces. Kind regards and keep up the good work
