**Thanks For Watching This Video**
Without Andrew I wouldn’t come this far with life! Your videos are the like the poetry and romance mentioned in dead poet society! The meaning of life.
Wow, Jimmy. It's comments like this that just make we want to do better.
With you on that, Old Bean!
These are the videos I like. The videos where you are a very learned man, with great stories to tell. Where the story is actually more important than you, and yet it would not be the same story with out you telling it. I wonder what videos and what experiences you would share if you did not have to treat it as a job, putting out videos to keep the subscribers happy and the Patreons, and the cash flowing in. Do you ever think that you would like to just go and have experiences you did not have to share? Nor spend hours editing? I hope that life treats you as kindly in the future as it has in the past. What a wonderful life you have had, the things you have seen, the roads taken. This in my opinion is why anyone follows you at all. To hear of a possible life that is not attainable to most of your viewers. an old golden time, that will never be quite like that again..If I didn't own a classic Range Rover I would never have heard of you. It is nice to see where the legendary vehicles may have gone, if only to imagine that we were there. Thanks to you I get to do just that. Traveling along with you listening to the stories and seeing the vehicle in it's proper environment, with all it's inherent issues and those that come along with it's age. Reality, Thanks again for that.
John. You are also learned, may I say. That is real insight into my world. I love what I do. And I do what I love. ut doing it as a job does change things, and as I get older, I'm appreciating being in the wild, and on the road even more. And I hope its coming through in the videos. In my early years it was 'pure' because there was no business attached to it, but for over 20 years now, I've managed a good balance of love for the job, and the income streams it must support. Thanks for your comment. I needed it after the battering I endured this week. I give my shows for free but that doesn't mean those who get the free stuff don't attack me when I try and pay for the free stuff I'm giving them. It's almost comical. But also unpleasant.
john Kemple, what a wonderfully presented and thoughtful reply, the likes of which are far and few between in these areas, an absolute pleasure to read. Thank you. Cheers, take care and stay safe.
@@4xoverland I was thinking before I saw these posts about how wonderful the stories are and what will we do when you get too old to travel. At least you will be doing these adventures after I stop mine in #Smoky60Series
As a fellow Rover owner ('95 Classic, and '99 Disco 1), I've really been enjoying this series so far! It's true that they require lots of upkeep, but there's really nothing quite like them.
Andrew your storytelling is simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing for all of theses years.
those photos of the Range Rover parked on the dirt road look really good
This is why I became a patreon supporter of this channel. The breadth of knowledge and cinematography is absolutely top notch, keep it up, just loving this.
I'm so grateful for your insightful clips, Andrew! I grew up in St.Lucia Estuary where my dad was Warden In Charge. We learnt how to drive very early on in soft sand and bush conditions. This clip has brought back so many treasured memories. Wonderful stuff!!
Your comment about hotel rooms in the morning is spot on! Glad I’m not alone in that thought. Great series!
These are amazing, I love the stories, especially the Lesotho storm story while a storm approached, fabulous, just fabulous.
Hi Andrew. Great work, from Land Rover channel to another. We can't wait to see how your adventure went. Great stuff. Cheers Geoff
Thank`s , from a morning coffedrinking LR Defender-man in Norway.
This video was a damn good start for the day .
Take care , drive safe and watch out :-)
PS! The coffee cup is on its way :-)
This was very enjoyable to listen to. my wife called to help with the dishes, just give me 15 minutes please...was so intrigued by you. She did it on her own off course. Thank you
My pleasure. Any time you need help with that kind of thing, here I am.
Railway enthusiast here. The train you passed was known as the "AK Cars" - and the locomotives are older than your Range Rover by about 10 years! The purpose of the carriages is to record the condition of the track so that any maintenance can be carried out (with some crew accomodation as well). Locomotives 42103 and GM22 entered service in 1966 and 1962 respectively! That style of locomotive with rounded noses is known as a "Bulldog". The carriages are ex-Southern Aurora (old Melbourne to Sydney train) stock dating back to the 1960s as well.
😂 Oh no he didn’t leave us hanging like that!!! 😂
Right? I managed to catch up on this series this week....now I have to wait like everyone else.
If you become a Patreon I believe you can watch two newer videos from this series
@@j3652 I was going to make a comment about that 😂
Thank you for sharing your stories they are truly amazing! You driving In the Range Rover in the rain brought me many happy childhood memories going on adventures with my parents in my dads 1992 3 door range rover
LOL we traversed Lesotho from the Sani pass to Maseru in a 1965 Series IIA Land Rover shorty. Even in summer conditions in the Underberg, it was still sleeting at the top of Sani Pass. What an epic time....
The analog clock inset is a nice touch
With an ending like that I hope the next ep is soon!
Doing research now is so easy compared to when you started, overlanding then had so much uncertainty.
That stare in the rear view mirror when that Troopie drove by had me giggle. That's me every time I see a 80 series drive by
Did I do that? I'll go back and watch!
Thank you for going to the effort of showing more action shots and footage of the Rangie driving and of the scenery, it really helps with being a part of the journey with you!
The pictures of your "new" Lodi are absolutely astonishing.
She is a pretty girl for sure!
Still absolutely loving this series of videos, to the point that I'm rather dreading you getting home because the journey will be over.
As a future series idea, it would be amazing to see more of the Rover interspersed with old photos and videos of your original one, perhaps recreating some of those early journeys.
Nice idea.
I’ve been so busy with life lately that I haven’t had time to tune in. I’m so glad I found a few minutes today to watch two episodes of your trek across Australia. I’m really enjoying this series of videos and I’ve fallen in love with your Range Rover. John the jeep guy from Oregon. I got a kick out of hearing Gregory Alan Isokov in the last video. I thought I was the only one who loved his music!
I do love these videos. So glad I found this channel.
Hello Andrew. I am really enjoying this series, and I am really happy for you that you found this Range Rover.
I was just watching Doug DeMuro, and he is reviewing the Suzuki Jimney. I remember that you really got a kick out of one that you rented, and that you were happy to see that a real 4x4, with a transfer case, and solid axles was still being made. Doug noted that this year, dealers in Mexico were allotted 2000 Jimneys. When they went on the market, they were sold out in 7 minutes!
Tell me that the world doesn't want a simple, cheap bare bones off-road capable vehicle.
Motel rooms… they just become mind numbing “beds in boxes”. A couple of colleagues and I have resorted to a game of working out how many times we walk into the same stock standard decor in motel rooms around the country. Somebody made an absolute fortune from selling hundreds of acres of only four different fabrics for motel bedspreads used in almost every regional Australia motel.
Thanks for this installment. Another winner as usual.
Just as in life, its all about the journey which will get you to your final destination...
How could you leave us hanging like that with the ending? Well, it keeps us interested of course but wildly curious and excited to find out. I'm tormented for a few minutes. Ok, fine now.
I hope you're loving driving your tractor across Australia. I think my old Toyota needs a long road trip after watch this.
Happy to be a Patreon supporter of yours again. Hopefully the cups of coffee will help you with your journey.
Ahh leaving us Hanging Andrew!
loving the series, good old rangy just marking territory with the odd drip of oil! 😉
Fantastic series. Thank you .
Love your stories. They bring your love of Range Rovers to the fore making it a great series.
Iv watched your Chanel for a while and then you bought this rig and I'm a radio controlled vehicle enthusiasts and there a person. Out of Asia who has a scale copy of your range rover and like seening old rig still in action
I love these series! Very inspirational! Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you like them!
Love your channel uncle Andrew. Cant wait for the next episode to drop. It is one of my highlights of the week.
Range Rover are charming cars. Nothing more Land Rover than breaking down when you need them the most.
Mine just blew it's head gaskets yesterday on the way home from buying new cats and a stainless exhaust for it! I try to do right by it, but it sure doesn't make it easy on me. 😅
Still love them in this imperfect way.
Hi Patrick Keep on trucking . I hope the oil leak does not increase .. Consider taking the short side trip just after Panong near Ceduna to Cactus Surf Camp it’s been a Surfers Desert Destination as it may have some basic amenities since the 60s and a famous Australian Architect Conservationist and Journalist named Paul Witzig lived there for many years to preserve its . I hope it’s being looked after today . It’s about 25 or maybe 30 minutes to the Coast .. Of course it’s more popular during spring through to mid autumn . Weather here in Perth is looking clear and with cold early mornings for your home stretch .. Good luck . John Perth
I learned recently from Uncle Mike over at Britannica Restoration that it is perfectly fine to use ATF or power steering fluid to operate a clutch.
A useful thing to remember for remote travellers.
My wife asked me “what are you doing this wee?” I said, “going on a road trip with Andrew”. She said, “ok, have fun”…….
Hi Andrew,just found your Chanel,and I am enjoying your adventures,especially your stories..
I must confess that your videos and story telling are a big part of what got me to leave the USA and pursue a career in safari guiding and travel. Your stories certainly kindled in me a desire to go and do the adventures I have always dreamed of doing, rather than let those "impractical" dreams grow dusty like an old adventure novel sitting on a shelf. Perhaps the ultimate sign of your beautiful story telling is that it has inspired at least of few of us to change our lives. So while I cannot speak for anyone else, I do want to say thank you Andrew, for helping me to get out the door and on the road to what has become the best adventure of my life. Keep up the good work. --Josh J.
listening to you and trying to be on your adventures is something super wonderful ... only those of us who have had a Range Rover Classic make us create that strange feeling, create that supernatural bond with the vehicle ... I am like you on every trip I have made I miss my old Range Rover, how you long to have another one and live those memories again ... you have no idea how my mind brought back memories just by listening to the v8 and the noise of the LT95, thanks
Cut my teeth with sand driving at Kosibay as well. Was an amazing trip. Took a wrong turn, ended up on the beach which is illegal now. Spent 2 hours digging out 2 vehicles to avoid being fined or getting our vehicles confiscated.
Another beautifully made video!! Thanks so much for charing your knowledge, experience and trips with us!!! Love the Rangie, had a -76 myself. Just hate to love them 😁
(And that cliffhanger was rude….😉)
Godspeed Mr SPW, best video series so far, seen them all.
You get such beautiful shots
I think with age comes reflection and brightness and maybe coming beacon for enlightenment.
Enjoying this ride-along series indeed. Another great one in the can, Mr. White.
I've always held a bias against old British off roaders. And while this series doesn't change my position on the matter, it's strangely satisfying to notice that our faces carry the same expression at times.
"Will it start?"
"Will it break?"
"What was that?"
Shamefully too I admit that we may - at times - be hoping for opposing answers to those questions. Just want the ol'e Rangie to represent itself. lol
Great work and generous sharing as always.
You're one of the best in the biz without question.
Happy trails from CO, US
Yes. It's one of its many 'charms.' But remember. It' is 45 years old!
thank you for detail video
Hello, Andrew. Awesome videos and stories. It is also interesting to hear how Africa and South Africa has shaped your "career" like it did with the Kosi Bay and Lesotho adventures.
I feel like you're the david attenborough of the 4x4 world. Love your content keep it up 😁
You're not the first person to make that analogy. And you're not wrong either.
Would love to see a video responding to the Land Cruiser 300
I don't know enough about it yet. Ugly, isn't it?
@@4xoverland Yes indeed!
The landcruiser prices here in the USA has gone up by 100% due to toyota not selling any more cruisers starting 2022.
@@4xoverland No, it's not ugly in my eyes. Improved on the 200.
@@4xoverland Indeed it is. The front of it reminds me of the front of some of the F-250's - very tall and boxy.
cliffhanger ending, cool.
14L/100KM is pretty good actually
Very good for this old duck!
My worse fuel consumption was very recently in the Richtersveld.
I did the Eco trail with a 1,7T offroad and with being in Low Range day after day, I blew through 200L of diesel as my D4D was only getting 4,5km/l(23L/100km)
Every place we heard was suppose to have fuel did not…
After 5 days and crawling at 40km/h we pulled in (on fumes) next to an above ground diesel tank
ASP So glad I followed your advise to have a normal range of over 1000km as we dd not get anywhere near that, that week
4.5 km/l is baie goeie verbruik wag tot jy n patrol ry dan gesels ons weer.
Ow...
That's a serious Cliffhanger!
Enjoyed the video/story/tips.
Bet you’re glad to have those new tyres in all that rain.
Paul Witzig was also a famous surf film makers Paul Witzig's triology of surfing films - Volume 1 includes The Hot Generation (1967), Evolution (1969) and Sea of Joy (1970). They have been restored, re-mixed and reborn on widescreen DVDs. The three classic movies all look better than ever and remain a true reflection of the era in which they were made.
What an amazing story this episode. I am really enjoying your content, thank you Andrew.
Saw another RUclipsr, Duncan Udawatta … another great channel.
Brilliant, thank you.
Jeez look at that sky back drop at the beginning.
Great video and stories as usual , Andrew. We were interested in where you stopped for fuel or coffee. Did you see the Land Rover up on a pole in Keith in SA? I think it celebrated the land development and involvement of the AMP in rural investment...
That wasn’t a very mechanically sympathetic selection of reverse, out the front of a freezing cold motel, at sparrows fart in the morning. Love the videos 😁
This is pure madness at level 11! Love it but my 1983 Suzuki SJ410 will never see more than 100 km a day and never will be more than 50 km from my workshop. Driving them back roads during hunting season 🦊
Awesome adventure. I keep wondering if the familiar smell of gear is that range rover thing you spoke about or something catastrophic has happened to gearbox.
Great Stories Andrew
I think you really miss Southern Africa!
Cool episode. Nice to see a familiar face in @DuncanUdawatta (OverlandJournals) His content is pretty good too.
Yep I'm taking my patrol next awesome video
Andrew, you are the man...
What’s up road warrior great video
Shout out to Keith, my hometown! Did you visit the Land Rover Series on a pole?
Does anyone know what model of headlamp those are? They look like plain sealed beams, but seem to have a much nicer glow as though they have been upgraded. Also this series is bringing back some of my fondest memories in my old Range Rover Classic. The birthday ride that started this madness was so perfect and true to the experience, it brought happy tears to my eyes.
Love the stories.
Of course well past that point in time now. However I wish you the best luck with that hub seal.
Hey I see @Duncan Udawatta in the background!
You stopped in Keith and missed getting a photo with the land rover on a pole? :((
You sure can tell a story.
What things happened? Great cliff hanger !!
Put a cable tie on the seat belt at the top to stop it retracting in tightly...
Not sure how that works in Australia, but in the UK that would be an MOT fail. Inertia reel seatbelts (invented by Nils Bohlin whilst he was working for Volvo, iirc) are designed to tighten in the case of a collision, keeping you attached to the seat (and therefore safer). This is also why a lot of people in some European countries carry a seatbelt cutting knife in their cars, so they can help remove people from a vehicle that's been in an accident before a worse accident occurs (such as fire, or subsequent impact from someone driving to fast to stop in time).
A better solution is one of those pads you can buy to go on the seatbelt that are designed to spread out the pressure caused by a retracting seatbelt in the vunerable collarbone area. While not perfect they will reduce the discomfort.
My fingers going to hurt from hanging on that cliff...
Greetings from West TX! A follower of your 4Xoverland channel and a patreon for years. Our Hilux LN 106 also notorious for front axle oil seal leaks. I ended up installing an oil seal made by Marlin Crawler and now the issue is no more. Hope you get to see my comment!
This hit a bit different as I'm in Southern Africa and its cold and raining...
Road tripping across Australia. Telling stories. Fanstastic. Music and filming quality is 2nd to none. Im a new subscriber so bare with me. But i do understand the issues with youtube..personally i have premium account so veiwng for me is seamless. But have you thought about doing a sponsorship reads inside the video? See allot of youtubers controlling their content / advertising revenue by doing this. Must be allot of related brands that you support willing to be involved in your adventures. I would personally have no issues listening to sponsored read knowing its supporting your next adventure
I've been offered them. I means I must bore you with a minimum of 40 seconds of every video, promoting a product. It's a bad as advertising!
@@4xoverland yep fare enough that is allot of time to disrupt your video. Personally if I was watching one of your feature length videos I would have no issues with 3 or so of those reads at start knowing it all went to you and not youtube. But I am by no means speaking for anyone else. Thanks for response. I'm glad I found your channel
@@4xoverland Speaking for myself I would watch ads for stuff you like/recommend and I hate ads, it's the reason I stopped watching commercial television.
I actually like the products that are promoted by the smaller local manufacturers on some channels but the shotgun approach of others, not so much.
If you could bring some personal flair to it as well it could be good.
This won't pay much towards your costs but I have to say that this series with the storytelling and anecdotes/history has been excellent imo.
I am getting a bit over all the channels who trash their equipment at all the same places or have become product placement services.
I'm not sure how you balance all of this tbh but if just watching isn't financially beneficial then I will unsub. as I don't like to take advantage of anyone's time.
Erik Satie 👍
What's your opinion of the falkens mate? Have done 50k in mine now with a fair bit of off roading and alot of highway ks and love them!!! Still got well over half tread left too. I have done the Melbourne to Perth trip alot in trucks and it never stresses me however in a vehicle of this age I think it would be a far more entertaining adventure I just find it boring these days.
Really enjoying you back on the road videos. Guess it’s time to fire up Patreon again. Not seen anything political recently so guess it’s safe to jump back in 😜
Was that Duncan Udawatta at your meet up with the Patreons?
It was.
How about going over the top with the next overlander, like an f truck or a ram.
I did that with the Dream Tourer, and it wasn't my 'thing'. Its back to basics.
I've been wondering how this vehicle drives compared to the white one you drove on your birthday?
6.2mpg imperial 😮
nice stories but how is the old beast doing is it like all things in the past they were good at the time and thats where they should stay
Have you thought of selling merchandise to help with funding your projects/ trips. Big fan . Cheers
I do. Its on the RUclips watch page
My mistake thankyou sir 👍
Hi Andrew. Is that the Bugaboo red jacket you are wearing and how warm is it?
On a different note, what do you do for cup holders? my 1984 4 door Rangie doesn't have them and it's a constant frustration!
go thirsty ;-)
@@4xoverland yep, that's what I do! Thirsty and coffee deprived!
When did you install the Flux Capacitor Andrew ? I didn't think it was a Rover option....
