Joining the queue

[Logsplitter]

I’ve been the but of many Land Rover jokes especially from all the Toyota drivers in Southern Africa. Three years ago whilst going up the Sani Pass into Lesotho after a big storm , the Landcruiser in front of me damaged his rear differential caused by reckless driving, I had the last laugh that day, I drove up slow and steady then sat in the highest pub in Africa to watch the Toyota below me get taken back down the mountain pass
In all honesty I never had a problem with my Defender other than the normal on any vehicle such as brake pads and shock absorbers.
But I do like jokes about other peoples vehicles all the same. My Grandfather on my mums side was as Irish as they come but loved jokes about Irish men

It’s most important to be able to laugh at yourself!

It should be TRIALmaster not TRAILmaster although I like more the mistake you made as the right name for our car!

Trail conjures up images of grassy lanes and butterflies. And convoys.
Trial is where the excitement starts
When you wish you'd ordered the winch

Ok, I like trails, I ordered the winch for my "trailmaster" or is it "trialmaster" and I like some excitement too.

Did you add the butterfly net?

 

[Tazzieman]

This Tasmanian mountain is called Frenchman's Cap. I chase butterflies (with a camera) in remote places; they exhibit "hilltopping" behaviour when showing off to females.
Same thing with 4x4 guys, but usually it's men they are trying to impress

I specced the safari roof and hope to track down a genuine pith helmet. Should be enough head clearance
(Great book btw)

You’re probably right on the money there.

But I bet if you arrived at the Grenadier pub asking for your vehicle wearing one you’d get bumped up the queue. (Especially if it was shot at on the blue Nile) it would be in very bad taste if you weren’t.

Quite like that song

Means 100.000 times welcome in Irish Gaelic. Gaeilge an hEireann .. in Ireland in particular in the West / Dingle Island rather common... I can read it here and there, know a few terms to orient myself.. Most important Slán .. You will guess once you visit a pub there. Seans in Athlone.. always worth a visit. But do not take your IG to ride home..
Better grab a tacsai

Learned something new.

I'll put it in the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch box.

Even though it's not welsh.

Good try @Tazzieman , but it is "trial and error", therefore TrialMaster, not TrailMaster

And as I know how to set a lure , I deliberately added the "boy with his hand up" emoticon after the "wink" emoticon.

The author of that "colonial" book (Blashers) ringed his camps in Africa with a string of tin cans containing small stones.
I'm as canny as a Scotsman ; it must be the English , Welsh and Irish blood in me
