  1. I haven't updated this for ages now. The news is that after buying a S2A FC in June 2014 and running it for 4 years as a family wagon, going on adventures in Austria and in the Czech Republic, I decided to sell it last year and finally found a buyer this year. Yesterday, the FC was loaded into a shipping container and is on its way to the USA. Here's a photo of the FC being loaded into a 20' container: Let's see what comes next - I already mentioned elsewhere on this forum that I've long got an ambition to buy an ex-mil LR in Norway, but it might take some time before I find the right one. Don't want a shiny one, I like my Landies to be a bit scruffy on the outside, but fully functional and mechanically sound on the inside :-) Let us see what the future brings, in the meantime there's a vacant space in the parking lot that needs filling in!
  2. Anyone willing to make it a road trip and see an exmil for sale at Engeloya? Always wanted an exmil and this one almost looks too good to be true :-) https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=120247351 Many thanks! Jan
  3. Thanks for the positive comments, glad you like the designs I do
  4. Hvis du kan holde på girkassen for litt, kanskje jeg trenger mer - Jeg var veldig ivrig etter å få det her, tilbudet var så interessant. Men transport prisene er rett og slett astronomiske. Jeg håper virkelig noen fra Norge kommer til Birmabright Weekend :-)
  5. Takk igjen for tilbudet, lafterolf, men jeg til slutt måtte jeg kjøpe bare de delene (brukt, så ganske billig) i Storbritannia, som kostnaden ved å bringe den frie girkassen til Tsjekkia var for høy (nesten 450 eur ...).
  6. Hello to all friends of leaf-sprung Land-Rovers in Norway, Would like to post an invite to an annual event here in the Czech Republic. Since 2009 it has grown to become an international meeting of Series LR owners from Poland, Germany, Austria, UK and the Netherlands, so I hope some day people from Scandinavia could also join our ranks. Feel like going on an adventure? See our FB page at www.facebook.com/BirmabrightWeekend and the Event section there, the 2016 event is listed there. I wanted to post the programme here, but for some reason the paste/copy function did not work, so I had to improvise a bit The event programme and the invitation are posted on UK forums such as the LRSOC, S2C and SeriouslySeries.com, as well as the German BlackLandy forum and the French Le Temps des Series one. Looking forward to see you in Kutná Hora! Kind regards, Jan
  7. I have a little business of my own - it's a "brand" called Born (to be) Wild - www.facebook.com/born.wild.cz In fact it's just me and my wife, a little hobby that I have.
  8. Takk - men det er fra en exmil kjøretøy, ikke sant? Jeg sjekker de budtjenester priser, vil jeg gi deg beskjed så snart som mulig. Takk igjen!
  9. Takk for tilbudet, vil jeg sjekke kurer kostnadene for overføringen. Var den i god stand da den ble fjernet fra bilen?
  10. Many things have happened in the meantime. Instead of buying an ex-military Norwegian S3, I bought an S2A Forward Control in Austria. I also started selling my drawings on t-shirts, mugs and stickers, but it's still more a hobby than real business. The two trucks at the centre are ours:
  11. Google kan snakke norsk :-) Hva er prisen på girkassen? Send meg en privat melding hvis du vil;-)
  12. Hello, Looking for these parts for a One Ton/FC gearbox - I believe these gearboxes were also fitted to the Norwegian military SIII's? Could anyone help? Would be happy to get a complete gearbox if we can work out the price and a way how I could get it here (I live in the Czech Republic, so would have to sort out a courier). Many thanks! Jan
  13. BBW 2013 was definitely the wettest, if not the best, installment there ever was! We've had all kinds of rain, thunder and lightning, but people somehow were not intimidated and 22 leafers turned up, which was great! The greenlaning was a bit muddy, but I think people appreciated the added value of muddy lanes Sunday's National Agricultural Museum's event was rainy as well, still we had 12 trucks participating, which was also quite a success, provided everyone had everything soaked with water by then!

  14. Hello, could you please also send the pics to janhyrman@gmail.com? Thanks.
  15. Birmabright Weekend 2013, Kutna Hora, Czech Republic, 31st May – 2nd June 2013 Would like to invite again all leaf-sprung Land-Rover owners to the the annual Birmabright Weekend in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. As always all kinds of leaf-sprung Land-Rovers are welcome and the greenlaning trip will include only these. We will stay at the same campsite we used in 2012, i.e. the Santa Barbara camp site with nice eating/washing/toilet facilities, adress as follows: Santa Barbara Camping, Tyrsova 988, Kutna Hora (49.954157, 15.260267 / +49° 57' 14.97", +15° 15' 36.96" or Google Maps). The event’s programme Friday, 31st May 2013: - Arrival of participants during the day, the campsite is open so early or late evening/night arrival is no problem. - We will then proceed to taste whichever beer will be available at the local pub/bar establishment, continuing until late hours in anticipation of late arrivals. Saturday, 1st June 2013 - During the morning hours we will stand, sit, lie around the campsite, shout at each other, moan/brag/cry/chuckle about what we did last night, chat together and stare under open bonnets. In general, we usually wait for those who can't force themselves to wake up in time for the announced time of departure for the laning trip... - Breakfast can be had in the local "pub", in 2012 this was in a very homely manner. - Departure for the laning trip is usually not before 11:00 – on the contrary, usually we depart with at least 20-30 minutes delay. - The trip includes lanes and tarmac roads totalling some 70-100 kilometres in length, depending on how much time I can spare during April weekends to prepare the route. Fuel tank at least half-full (or half-empty) is advisable, I can help people with directions (or guide a little low-on-fuel convoy) to the nearest petrol station. The 2013 route is planned to include a stop at the small medieval fortress/stronghold at Malesov, with some hearty meal prepared for us at one of the local pubs. Another stop is included for the traditional group photo at the Vysoka hill. - Another beer-drinking spree will follow in the evening. Sunday, 2nd June 2013: - Most participants usually bid farewell to others already during breakfast (some already leave on Saturday), but the programme will continue with a 9:00 departure for the National Agricultural Museum in Caslav, where the event called Grand Granddad’s Tractor is taking place (2012 participants will know what it's like), with most of the museum’s exhibit’s (plus a lot of those from visitors) are shown running. In 2013, it is likely that we will have already two PTO's shown in action, although one is still missing the belt pulley and the protective shield. - There will be an exhibition of our vehicles at the museum grounds, the plan is for our part of the programme to end about noon. From there we can continue on for some more laning or we can end the meeting there in the same manner like this year, depends on each participants’ itinerary. Additional info: Facilities: The meeting will take place at a public campsite, with space for tents and one small challet, which can accommodate 4-6 people. There are shared showers and toilets, built about 3 years ago, nice and clean. There's a small pub behind the reception desk which serves (except beer) some basic food, like sausages, bread and some cold meals. It's not exactly a luxury standard but people used to drive Land-Rovers should find the facilities sufficient. Beer usually costs between 70p and one pound per 0.5 litre glass, about the same costs a loaf of bread, for 5 or 6 pounds you can get a hearty meal here. Driving regulations: The most apparent difference (apart from driving on the right) is the daylight lights-on rule, i.e. your lights need to be switched all the time. You should have an internationally valid proof of liability insurance (which is locally called the green card, showing that your vehicle is insured and the validity of the document), the speed limit for cities/towns/villages is 50 kph. Other than that it’s 90 kph outside cities/towns/villages and 130 kph on motorways. Motorways are toll-roads, you need to have a motorway sticker/vignette attached to the lower right part of your windscreen, proving you have paid the toll. The toll sticker for 10 days costs CZK 310 in 2013. To put this into context, the maximum fine for not having that sticker is CZK 5000. Currency: CZK (approx. CZK 31-32 = 1 GBP) / if you need to change on week days, you can do so at banks or exchange counters (there should be a few in Kutna Hora as well, not sure about the weekend office hours, better to stock up for the weekend on Friday). VISA/MasterCard credit cards will be accepted in 90% of the shops incl. most supermarkets, but not at the campsite. Petrol prices: About CZK 37-39 per litre (unleaded = called Natural 95 here) / some stations here still sell the so called Special 91 (with the lead-substituting additive included), which is usually slightly cheaper. There are two fuel stations in Kutna Hora, availability elsewhere is no problem, both on motorways and main roads (most or all of them nowadays accept VISA/MasterCard credit cards). Other expected costs at CZ: Campsite: see http://www.santabarbara.cz/cenik_en.php Breakfast: about CZK 75 / GBP 2.50 / EUR 3 Certificate + sticker: CZK 100 / GBP 3 / EUR 4 T-Shirt: CZK 300 / GBP 9.50 / EUR 12 Roasted pork dinner on Saturday: CZK 150 / GBP 5 / EUR 6 Have now established a Facebook page under http://www.facebook.com/BirmabrightWeekend - there are photos from all past 6 installments of the event.
  16. Ah, thanks, this morning it looked like it was still available, but OK, I have enough time - still need to fix everything on my other two LR's
  17. Hello, Does anyone know the seller of this vehicle? http://www.finn.no/finn/car/used/object?finnkode=35016562 He does not seem to be happy to respond in English (or perhaps he thinks I'm that strange Nigerian lawyer with $100,000,000 in the bank who emails everyone around the world), so I thought someone here might know him and help a bit with the communication?
  18. So, it's over. Despite some rain showers on Thursday/Friday and a few hiccups on the way, the whole foreign contingent arrived safely to Drozdov by 10:00 PM on Thursday to enjoy a late night beer and barbeque. Friday saw us move over to Kutna Hora, with me running out of fuel at the most inconvenient spot available and then having to have Jekyll's ignition switch replaced following a short towing exercise. We settled for the night at the campsite and drank some beer on Friday evening. The Saturday greenlaning trip was simply brilliant, I think I won't ever forget the view of the leafer column in the rear mirror. The weather was kind to us throughout the trip and within 8 hours we did some 85 kilometres of laning and local roads, with only a handful of small problems. On Sunday we did a display at the National Agricultural Museum in Caslav, including a PTO put into action by Martin Tuma and his 1951 SI 80", running an even more ancient piece of agricultural machinery (used to blow hay into storage in barn attics). The museum staff (and I hope some of the participants) were very enthusiastic about us being a part of their event, they even offered to bring some of their exhibits to some of our shows! A million thanks to those who helped us make the event as good as it was! Our little garden traffic jam: The most heroic of all participants, a hedge find who made it under its own steam: The campsite on Saturday morning: The greenlaning trip in full swing: The oldest leafer at the event: Second part of the trip after the group photos were taken: Sunday's display at the National Agricultural Museum in Caslav - 12 SI's is a local record (plus Minerva TT which arrived later): The other side of the parking lot which was allocated to us: A Minerva: And our LR's showing:
  19. A few pictures of Bernie, our 1960 SII 88" - nothing beats the view from behind a Series LR wheel, the world seems to spin slower!
  20. Spent the weekend preparing the greenlaning trip route for the event - a few photos:
  21. A few photos from a local Series Land-Rover event - the weather was glorious (end of April) and we had lots of fun And a few more:
  22. Bump. Still looking for a good one - preferrably
  23. It seems the new owner bought a good vehicle with lots of work done - just what I am looking for, very envious!
