Hi John,

Welcome to the forum.

Being in Canberra, you are well placed to visit the largest gathering of ex-military vehicles in your country, over at Corowa in March. I am involved with the organising group, here is their website, www.corowaswim-in.org There are a lot of Land Rover owners who participate, anything from a Series 1 to the Perentie 6x6 models. If you friends is a Vietnam veteran Landie, then get him to bring it to the show.

 

best regards, Richard

Thanks Richard. Yes, we are well aware of the Corowa swim-in here. I know several people on the REMLR Forum (including the original webmaster and originator) who participate.

Welcome in John.

Thanks Tony

Welcome John.

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.
