Bogi.
I couldn't be more jealous, it's a dream of mine that one day I'll get to do a trip like that on a glacier.
I'd love to convert my Shogun to look like the Silver or White ones, but think it would be a bit over the top for the UK.
As bedajim says the van looks cool.
Didn't notice a single green oval product.

Brilliant pics Bogi. I'll have to join Nasher in the "I'd like to do that" stakes. Make me want to hop on a plane and join you right now.

A couple of us NW ribsters are planning a (4th for me) visit in summer 2010 for a spot of cross country hiking. Not taking the Defender this time, or the rib 
I couldn't recommend the place more, and there's never been a better time to visit. It's not a destination for indoors types, or shoppers...
Mrs willk will be taking a rain check again!

You are all welcome across and Willks would love to meet up again.
The Sprinter van was modified and is owned by my wife´s uncle, it is a piece of a vehicle.
The white Montero with all the antennas is also a good friend of mine.

You are being silly (again) Mollers. It wasn't a Montenegro, or a Vectra, as it happens. You have such a literal thought process  . The car of my youth was in fact a Fiat SuperMirafiori.
It was a heap of scrap, but I did nail the odd fox

It must've looked good with foxes plugging the rust holes. Very 'de rigueur' with the hunting set.
