Well, needing some advice and direction on how to Properly install my newly made headliners in my station wagon series. Has anyone done this before and can provide some useful information, pics and videos? I used the original material to get the template and my metal pieces are useable.

Non Technical Discussion / The Last Overland (Full Docume...

"In 1955, six young men set out to make history by being the first to drive 19,000 miles overland from London to Singapore. Many had tried, all had failed. But after six months of hard slog this team finally made it, and a bedazzled young BBC producer, David Attenborough, commissioned a TV series to share their incredible adventure with a post-war-weary British public. The book written about the journey – The First Overland – has never been out of print, and has inspired generations of adventurers since." (from https://www.lastoverland.com/)

Undertaken in 2019, The Last Overland is the reverse of that trip, using one of the original Land Rovers from the First Overland, and featuring Tim Slessor, one of the original adventurers. Being 2019, the journey was well documented in print and video, with (of course) a dedicated website - https://www.lastoverland.com/.

The documentary created out of the journey was originally only available via select paid services, but that has changed and all four episodes of the Last Overland are totally FREE to watch on YouTube via the Free Documentary Channel.

Here is the link to the YouTube playlist of all four episodes.

Events / Sean Green Memorial Trial (SGM...
Last post by binch - September 01, 2025, 06:44 PM
Greetings all,

I am pleased to announce the 2025 Sean Green memorial trials. This year they will be held on Saturday October the 4th at Lees place (formally the alberta safari park) last year's winner has been busy chasing down prizes and it is looking like there will be some great ones.

Earlier in the year a few club members were able to get out to lee's to open up a little more of the trail and I am hoping that with some assistance we may be able to open up a little more before the event.
       
If anyone is interested in lending a hand to open up the trail or helping out with set up could contact me directly we can work out a date before the event that works for everyone.and as usually if your planning on coming to the event please let me know what you will be driving and how many will be in your party so i can work on the food.

thanks everyone and hopefully i will see some of you at the september club meet
Dave L (PM to Lovejugs)

Quote from: binch on August 13, 2025, 01:15 PMI heard something about area above 1900m (?) being off limits now.  Is that going to be the new norm for all areas, or specific areas?
That was discussed at one point in Alberta.
