G'day,
My name is John and I live in Canberra, Australia.
I was shown this site last Saturday night by a mate who has been following a Thornycroft build and was fascinated by the amount of data and information on the site.
My military interests - well, father was in the military his whole working life. I became familiar with some of the vehicles and developed an unhealthy interest in Land Rovers; an interest that led me to owning several of them over the years.
In the last few years my Land Rover club has had a few members join who own ex-military Landies. Some are older ex-Vietnam vehicles and the others are more recent varieties as the government here sells off its Land Rover fleet.
Even more recently I have been assisting my neighbour as he has been preparing his ex Vietnam shorty for the required roadworthy prior to registration.
