Hi Frank, What year is your 100? Do you have any pics please? And what price would you be looking for? Thanks Shayne

Hi All, I have a Garmin 276c, which you cannot get maps for anymore from Garmin. Does anyone out there know or have any maps for the UK that they are willing to share? Kind Regards Shayne

Hi Paul, Hows it going? When are you planning your trip? Im looking at doing the same thing in a few years. Would be good to swap stories. Regards Shayne

Spent the afternoon watching the many upgrades done to this 200, Great knowledge for anyone looking to make some mods and the amount of work involved. Looks like a very capable vehicle to me.

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say "Happy Birthday", and possibly have a present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone, "Happy Birthday". I...

What gets easier to pick up the heavier it gets?

Anybody going to the bushcraft show this year? http://www.thebushcraftshow.co.uk/

Hi There, Sorry for the late reply, thought I had flu, turned out to be Lymes disease (Tick Bit for us Saffers). Down and out at the moment. Will only be able to do a day visit on Sunday if its possible and Ive recovered enough. Regards Shayne

Hi All, I would be keen to join for the Saturday evening. 1 Adult (Questionable) and 1 dog.If possible.

Bump, any developments on this? I have a skottle here too and need to get a bottle. was thinking of making a stand then connecting it with a flexi hose as long as i can get an adjustable regulator.

That was hilarious........

Just wanted to see if anyone has ever overlanded multiple borders with a dog, and if its hard with border crossings, especially in Africa. I'm not sure if I would risk it anyway but was wondering if anyone had and how they found it. Regards Shayne

Does anyone have any experience and advise on taking a Vehicle back to SA as a returning resident in order to avoid the import and customs duties? Regards Shayne

Great Thx Chris, I think that may be the way forward, ill try it out. Do you have the name of that Ram Mount with the built in GPS?

Ah Great Patrik, That looks like a way better option, To use an IPad with an external GPS. Has anyone got this setup and if so how accurate and reliable is it? Will definitely look at tracks for Africa website for info.

Hi Dave, Definitely the west cost, would like to spend up to 6 months doing it.

Thx Guys, Will have a look at those.

Hi Mark, That is exactly why i was looking for something different, something with possibly a bigger colour screen.

Hi All, Was wondering if there is a replacement or any equivalent or better GPS to use for overlanding across Europe and Africa than the Garmin 276C? I am planning to drive from the UK to SA in a couple of years and am starting to do some research, Ill be posting a few threads looking for info...

Yeah very keen on going to this, Will drive to MK then catch the train from there. its about 35 pound and 7 for parking.

Thanks All.

Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a way to possibly lower the drivers seat by 3 inches with a modification? I have put the seat down to the lowest and im still in the roof looking at the visor. Thanks for any advise. Shayne
