The romance of that Range Rover is what I love about cars. It doesn’t matter how fast it goes or how reliable it is. It’s how it makes you feel to be behind the wheel
@@fathomtheundertaker4356 ,, I second your comment. We used to have a phrase from years ago.. " Chrome don't get you home,, but you sure look good broke down on the side of the road "... End of story!!!
@@FPVsean Agreed. Why do Toyota owners always feel the need to troll on those who drive Land Rovers or Jeeps. We get it, your vehicles have a reputation. I've still towed a couple of Toyota Tundra owners with engine electrical failure with my Ram 1500.
I love that you haven't gone to either of the extremes a lot of Range Rovers tend to go: your Rangie isn't a pristine example meant to never do any real work, but it also isn't getting smashed to pieces being rock crawled and having the arse cut off to make a bobtail. This is exactly how a Range Rover was meant to be. (The troopy is looking great too)
I grew up in them. When he whacked it in reverse to get moving in the dunes i was back in them. Nearly called my brother over to listen. The gearbox whine in reverse is unmistakably RR
Bloody boguns! Tearing up the beach in their 50 year old Range Rovers! Nice to see how well optimised the old RRCs approach/departure angles are, without the need to fit aftermarket bumpers to improve things. Also strange to see how small the RRC looks compared to a more modern 4x4.
Great piece of filming. The RR steels the show. Still fits in the scenery. Still belongs there. Timeless piece of human ingenuity. Did I say it was a beautiful 20 minutes of video? It was!
Loving that Range Rover Classic. Brings back alot of memories. Great filming in those dunes. If I can find a good one here in Bolivia I might have to buy one.
There is nothing more beautiful than a Range Rover classic on asphalt, dirt, sand, or any type of terrain. What I wouldn’t give to have any of the ones that I left when I move back to the United States, back with me right now
That Rangie is such a beautiful car. Despite it’s quirks, i would have that over any new 4x4 any day, just to have it. Just to be able to look at it whenever i want. Love it. Thanx Andrew.
It's great to see you go out and have some fun. That FJ looks really nice but the Troopy is just brilliant. I have a modified Jimny JB74 and these larger vehicles are quite intimidating but also so beautiful. Nice video, sir!
What a lovely RR, stirring up many memories of the few trips I did with one in the late 80's! But Andrew. You've built some good-looking rigs in the past, but this Troopy, oh boy, it just takes the cake!! Well done. Can't wait to see more of it.
greetings from kenya 🇰🇪 .. smh oh boy ooh boy this is amazing content .. congratulations on bringing this whole video together .. I really enjoyed it and it was worth the wait .. I saw it recently but elected to wait until I had the perfect environment and conditions to watch it .. no regrets it was quite the treat .. the music .. the drone shots .. the beach .. the camaraderie between you guys and the RRC and the troopy .. mein oh mein ! they look absolutely fantastic I wouldn't know which one to pick smh it is insane ! anyway .. hand on heart your doing a great job .. again the troopy looks epic and the RRC ( ooh my goodness ! ) words fail me .. really though this is fantastic content
Coolest looking troopy ive seen. The wrap turned out amazing, the bull bar looks so good, it all ties in so well. Cant wait to see the inside reveal. Soo good seeing how happy the RR makes you to
please reconsider pressing in new wheel studs to go tubeless. You got stuck a lot compared to your usual. More tire pressure control + no tube rubbing = much better safety and easier travel on your long journey. Just my 2¢, best of luck regardless!
The Range Rover still looks good I've always liked the older four-wheel drives the real beauty of old four-wheel drives is you can fix them without a computer degree and £10000 worth of equipment keep up the great content
Something we noticed while running lower pressures over extended distances was the inner tube has a tendency to slip/rotate inside the tire. The remedy was to swap the tires left side to right side so the tubes would rotate back the other way again. I think you’re fighting an uphill battle with those steelies Andrew… I appreciate you’re doing a shake down but fitting the right length wheel studs is the correct remedy. Having watched a bit more of the video… those tire pressures still looked high and the RR was struggling in the soft stuff.
Brilliant video Andrew amazing footage at the dunes and the drone shots were great to, i really liked the music choice, i think you brought the 2 best off roaders , I love the Troopy , the old Range Rover just makes me think of an uncle and teacher of mine, each of them had that same sort of smile you had on your face, just utter enjoyment, I still think putting in longer studs and the other wheels would be the most reliable thing to do for the CSR trip, just my opinion , it is your adventure not mine, i look for ward to the CSR series in the future , is Paul Marsh going with you on this one, thx again 👍
That Rangie is plain gorgeous. You can tell you enjoy driving her, you have a big grin in your face when you drive. Only complain, the music was a bit too loud in some segments.
Hey Andrew, watching around the 7:00 mark, I think I identified a new piece of kit for the Rover: Make a set of four tethers, 4-5 meters long with a 'beaner clip on each end. Attach one end to a Maxx Trak and the other end to your recovery point on the rear of the truck. loop the tether wide around the outside of the truck to keep it out of your tires. The idea is that when you're running solo you can set up the recovery boards and drive out to where it's safe to stop, and your tracks will follow along behind you - no need to possibly hike back half a mile to dig them out of the sand. Granted, they won't be usable in every situation - I suspect that it wouldn't work well for clay-mud and such, but I think they could save you a bit of walking and digging...
That Rangie is something else! In a way it's sad that today's Range Rovers will likely never be used like this... Well done for preserving a piece of history!
Excellent and very enjoyable publication Andrew. The contemporary music also freshened it up! Thank you for making my morning coffee just that much more special. Also nice to see you having some fun, always nice to get out with the boys and have a break. Cheers and God bless your friends Mike and Carolyn in Canada. 🙏🍻
It is always good to see someone enjoying the fruits of their labor and indulging in their passion. That's what makes life enjoyable. I hope to hit the UAE dunes when my truck is up and ready and has got its lift kit installed. Seeing Andrew hit the dunes in the Range Rover is like watching someone return home after a long journey.
You know what Andrew? Toyota might be a more reliable off roader, but ever since I watch your vieos I've never seen you so happy as in the RRC. I think this is what LR are all about. There might be better 4x4 but not a single one, that is more fun! Way 2 go! 🙂
You’ve nailed it. Way too much over thinking about getting off the bitumen. Over engineering the experiences. It’s about having fun. Nice to see you have fun again.
My friend had a used 88 range rover classic back in the day. And it was awesome cruising around in that thing. It just felt special. And we were just out of high school. Good times.
Nice trip video. Good to see how well the Range Rover did, especially given that British Leyland forced Rover to put it into series production one year earlier than planned. Looks like you guys had some fun.
Love this content! I've not had the time to watch alot lately, but loved this video! And I see you brought back the old intro song, +++. Guess I'm here for the "action", so seing you guys driving with multiple, whole different rigs was just great
Andrew! I could see your throttle control by watching what the wheels were doing in one of the scenes of you in the dunes. Spot on and incredible what years of bush travel will teach you.
Note regarding those rims; I'd think that you could use these original rims with tubeless tyres. As I understood the two things holding you back are a bead and their sealing properties? Both could be solved with some creativity, epoxy, and maybe some glass fiber. Maybe a large lathe could be useful there, though not strictly necessary.
Please correct me if I'm wrong you 4x4 guys. Serious auxiliary lamps were developed for rally cars, e.g. a long throw pencil beam & secondary broad wash for high speed at night. Examples Cibie Oscar, Lucas 20-20 etc. Offroading at night you need an even flood of light to illuminate the track ahead.
great video like old Range Rover on way have put together each time there the videos like set discovery wheels fit on your Range Rover a lot better as steel wheels?
Andrew, love the old Rangie at work. Doing what it should. Love the gear whine and the meaty bellow of the glorious V8. Please do more vids like this. I have extremely fond memories of the old Rangie's sounds. The reverse gear whine.....oh wow... Hope to see you around on the street one day....we've got the t-shirts but love to see the old girl in the flesh....great work...
The romance of that Range Rover is what I love about cars. It doesn’t matter how fast it goes or how reliable it is. It’s how it makes you feel to be behind the wheel
I feel the same way with my 95 defender 110, minus the reliability part because it has wildly been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned!
The "romance" flys out the window when you are stuck in a very isolated spot without a reliable vehical...should of bought a Landcruiser

it sure sounds good

This is exactly how a Range Rover was meant to be.
(The troopy is looking great too)
The original Range Rover is still one of the best sounding 4WD's. I used to love the sound of mine.

But it's close enough. 😉
They worked.....so far ahead of their time! The others tried to copy it but n
The best part of the video is just seeing you smile. Right there, that’s what it’s all about.
Thanks for the experience, might take the classic to the white sandy dunes later in the year
just watching that took me back to my 76 classic i had in the 80s . awesome
The Rangie was the coolest by far!
Beautiful landscapes, great 4WDs, and some "local talent". It's all here, thanks for sharing Andrew.
Great piece of filming. The RR steels the show. Still fits in the scenery. Still belongs there. Timeless piece of human ingenuity. Did I say it was a beautiful 20 minutes of video? It was!
One of the most enjoyable episodes from you Andrew.
Enjoyed the music and drone shots.
Inspiring video to get your 4wd out
I appreciated the extra smiles in this upload, looks good on you, congratulations on getting to this point, absolutely terrific!
Loving that Range Rover Classic. Brings back alot of memories. Great filming in those dunes. If I can find a good one here in Bolivia I might have to buy one.
I know the feeling - when you park your car, walk away, turn around just to have a look at it & smile.
There is nothing more beautiful than a Range Rover classic on asphalt, dirt, sand, or any type of terrain. What I wouldn’t give to have any of the ones that I left when I move back to the United States, back with me right now
Perhaps your most beautiful short film. Fantastic cinematography in this one, Andrew!
4:33 Andrew is a man of culture
Just loving this car - mine is a bit younger, but still such a lovely and capable car from 1982. They are astonishingly beautiful.
The best video EVER…first time I backed up the video a number of times, specifically around the 4:35 mark!
That Rangie is such a beautiful car. Despite it’s quirks, i would have that over any new 4x4 any day, just to have it. Just to be able to look at it whenever i want. Love it. Thanx Andrew.
Wonderful to see the old girl still going strong.
No words can explain your smile when driving the Land Rover on the dunes.Thanks for a great content as always
It's great to see you go out and have some fun. That FJ looks really nice but the Troopy is just brilliant. I have a modified Jimny JB74 and these larger vehicles are quite intimidating but also so beautiful. Nice video, sir!
Man becoming boys again.
Nice filming, and I saw your smile ear to ear throughout the video.
Like it, like it a lot
I think. Of aaaaaaaaaall your videos. I’ve never never never seen you smiling that much. Really satisfying to see you enjoying.
What a lovely RR, stirring up many memories of the few trips I did with one in the late 80's!
But Andrew. You've built some good-looking rigs in the past, but this Troopy, oh boy, it just takes the cake!!
Well done. Can't wait to see more of it.
Great video Andrew. That's what I've been waiting for. Time to get out and about. Love the Range Rover. Such clean lines. Elegant.
Amazing video! Long live the Range Rover Classic! There is no other vehicle that will give that feeling! 👌🏻

+1 on this, just makes sense and is an easy job
How do you repair a puncture with a tube? You have to take the tire off?
@@mark2073 like a push bike
I agree, it will be a much more pleasant trip tubeless and with the lower pressure much less stressful for the old girl (& Andrew 😂)

Great filming, Great Soundtrack, Great Vehicles...What more can the viewer want!
It is awesome to see you smile and laugh
Excellent video. Great music too.
There’s just something about the 2 door classic..the sound..looks great in the dunes
Man the Troopy looks nice and so does the Land Rover there both beautiful looking 4wd's
Something we noticed while running lower pressures over extended distances was the inner tube has a tendency to slip/rotate inside the tire.

This videos, showing how much calculated are you as a person and also wanting to have fun, are very enjoyable
Love the colour you've chosen for the troopy, and those Classic's are just amazing.
The Range-rover certainly is lovely looking car, Classic good looks
The smiles say it all.
Hey Andrew, watching around the 7:00 mark, I think I identified a new piece of kit for the Rover: Make a set of four tethers, 4-5 meters long with a 'beaner clip on each end. Attach one end to a Maxx Trak and the other end to your recovery point on the rear of the truck. loop the tether wide around the outside of the truck to keep it out of your tires. The idea is that when you're running solo you can set up the recovery boards and drive out to where it's safe to stop, and your tracks will follow along behind you - no need to possibly hike back half a mile to dig them out of the sand.
Granted, they won't be usable in every situation - I suspect that it wouldn't work well for clay-mud and such, but I think they could save you a bit of walking and digging...

I'm not at all surprised that when you were in the Rangie, you were allways smilling, even when stuck on the sand.

Good on you Andrew, nice to see you having fun mate.
Great to see the classic back in its true element, (not the urban environment).
Loved seeing both of your beauties together.
One of your best videos ever!! Simply fantastic!!
Great video, cool looking trip. All the best to you from the far North!
That beach is incredible. Really good to see all the different trucks and how they all perform side by side
Stunning scenery and camera work. That rangey is something very special. Love the Troopy too. You’re a lucky man ASPW.
You’ve nailed it. Way too much over thinking about getting off the bitumen. Over engineering the experiences. It’s about having fun. Nice to see you have fun again.

LOL....."give it a good welly full". Never heard that one before!
Oh Andrew, the Rangie is just stunning. Beautiful. Well done.
Nice trip video. Good to see how well the Range Rover did, especially given that British Leyland forced Rover to put it into series production one year earlier than planned. Looks like you guys had some fun.
awesome seeing the range rover did not overheat
Ah great video. Really made me want to head out camping in the bush with some friends and their 4x4's.
14-18 psi in deep sand?no wonder you got stuck.
I put 5-8 psi and float on the dunes,never had any issues with the tyers.
Having the Falken tyres with cooling tech built in probably helps with the temps a bit.
Love this content! I've not had the time to watch alot lately, but loved this video! And I see you brought back the old intro song, +++. Guess I'm here for the "action", so seing you guys driving with multiple, whole different rigs was just great
There is an old green 3 door Range Rover that i see in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain. When it parks up I have a nosey. They are beautiful!
Great to see some off road driving for a change 👍
So nice to hear music on this vid.. nice touch. All the very best for the canning stock
Its about time you went 4wing! :D
Great group, looks like a lot of fun. Awesome video!

The Range Rover has style in a way a modern never can
The smile on your dial says it all Andrew 😎👍
It was soooo nice to watch! Well Andrew and thank you sir!
4:33 best view ever.
😂😂 I agree
“Time to find a campsite” the timing of that comment in editing was comedy gold. Thanks for another great video mate.
Would love to see more/know more about the FJ Cruiser in this Vid. :)

You did it again Andrew!
2 beautiful rigs. Really enjoyed this one.
Can't wait to see their journeys unfold
The music was so appropriate. Was smiling all through thevideo. Lucky Humans! Good Stuff.
I totally love this! The joy the fun! Andrew you have excelled
Thoroughly enjoyed it Andrew. Loved the music as well. Wished it was longer. ThankYou for sharing.
great video like old Range Rover on way have put together each time there the videos
like set discovery wheels fit on your Range Rover a lot better as steel wheels?
Outstanding! Thank you. Troopy looks incredible!
What a kids smile this car has put on you. Keep enjoying it
Just love old machines doing what they were made for, and doing it well.
Once you upload videos of classic Range Rover you rating goes crazzy .. love it more of classic Range
That troopy is so gorgeous that once I saw it, I took a screenshot! Really beautiful, Andrew. Good job!
Same here
So good, looks like incredible fun!
Great video. The RR Classic looks great, and performs even better.
