Basically couldn't stop here because of all the semi trucks, and no pullover -- daring drive by shooting on my part! Reminds me of Anson Mount in the Hell on Wheels western series--- I could get lost in his captivating eyes.
Breezy, short for "The Flying Breezeblock", was our second outing into Land-Rover ownership, a decision taken based on the success of Froggie (which, of course, we still have).
What a disaster. This was, without doubt, the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. By a long way. And that's really saying something.
In the eighteen months we had her, we had to
- replace the gearbox
- replace the rear differential
- replace a rear half-shaft
- rebuild the braking system completely
- rebuild the carburettor
- fit three replacement fuel pumps
- replace all exhaust valves (a swine of a job, as she had the 6 cylinder IOE lump)
- go out to rescue the garage bloke when he got stuck in her
When we finally saw the back of her, we cheered all the way down the road.
This pic was taken 12 July 1994, as we travelled to Sussex for my father's 80th birthday. It was one of the very few long journeys we ever did where she didn't break down.
To give her full description, this is a Series 2a long wheel-base 12-seater station wagon, with tropical roof (the double skin) and Alpine lights (the little windows in the side of the roof). Power was from a 2638 cc straight six petrol engine, with standard four speed main gearbox (synchromesh only on 3rd and 4th; 1st and 2nd being unsynchronised or crash changes), standard two speed transfer box, and retrofitted Fairey overdrive. The whole thing gave fuel consumption of about 16 miles per UK gallon (call that 17.6 litres/100 km), and would cruise - when she went at all - at about 60 mph at 3000 rpm.
UPDATE: 16 JULY 2011
To my great surprise, I see that she's still on the road. A quick look on the DVLA website tells me that she was taxed (although, of course, she's be free of charge as an historic vehicle) last month. All praise and credit then, for the bod who's keeping her running - a real achievement!
UPDATE: 13 JANUARY 2015
It now appears that she's been exported. Somebody said that he thinks he's seen pics of her, still on the original registration plate, in USA. More news if I get it.
A few more from the recent archives and the "Santa Special" at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in Havenstreet.

If there ever were a case of atherosclerosis in BNSF’s vast cardiovascular rail system, the famed infamous “Funnel,” so famously coined by my friend Bruce Kelly so many Kodachrome boxes past, may well be the epitome thereof. The amount of non-stop (figuratively speaking), bidirectional-traffic pumped through this constricted chemin de fer construct at its most acute less than three-mile-short, 21-foot tie-end to concrete tie-end narrows – between Napa & Lee Street Junction and Sunset Junction – is a feat worthy of a standalone Discovery series, if not a Modern Marvels feature, or a modern-day History Channel “Hell on Wheels.” Here, just East of the geographic center of Spokane, the epicenter of The Funnel, it’s 21:35 of any given night or day, and Main Two has very little exposed rail as one eastbound after the other in “Train Ahead” formation follows on the DPU’s dim of the previous in a more stop than go precession. Meanwhile Main One is the antithesis as Boyer West shoots WB-after-WB out of Hauser 23 east-miles as rapidly as safe, making room for the in-frame and following eastbounds. In what may seem as arbitrary minutes, this grain empty will ease ahead keeping measured distance as the train behind it inches its way forward and so on an so forth ad infinitum. (© 24Jul18)

What happens when things don't work out the way you expect them to?
When, after all the might and struggle, you still end up flat-busted broke?
You wake up each day, walk through those gates to your job, and put in your time.
Bust some knuckles, and your back, along the way.
And still you can't break even.
More lint in your pockets, cobwebs in your wallet.
Paycheck to paycheck doesn't even cut it.
The kitchen table becomes the judge and jury every night.
Canned crap for the kids.
Again.
Your wife doesn't even look at you much anymore.
You didn't expect this.
THIS wasn't the dream you had.
Then something, an opportunity, presents itself.
Something to make the road a little smoother...
If...if you take a chance.
Sure it could swing the other way.
But if it doesn't...
The street gets a little more easy.
Do you take the chance?
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true?

Taken at the Newport Motorcycle Rally at Newport on the Levee, Newport, Kentucky.
This is an emblem I noticed on one of the bikes.
"I seen a girl on a one way corridor
Stealing down a wrong way street.
For all the world like an urban toreador,
she had wheels on, on her feet.
Well the cars do the usual dances.
Same old cruise and the curbside crawl.
But the roller girl she's taking chances.
They just love to see her take them all."
"No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud."
"Hallelujah. Here she comes queen roller ball
Enchante, what can I say? Don't care at all.
You know she used to have to wait around
She used to be the lonely one."
"But now that she can skate around town,
she's the only only one!"
"No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd.
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud.
She gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream.
She's making movies on location.
She don't know what it means.
But the music make her want to be the story.
And the story was whatever was the song what it was.
Roller girl don't worry.
D.j. play the movies, all night long!"
"She tortures taxi drivers just for fun.
She like to read their lips.
Says, toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son.
I swear she let a big truck grease her hip.
She got her own world in the city.
You can't intrude on her...no no no.
She got her own world in the city,
'cause the city's been so rude to her."
"No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd.
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud.
She gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream.
She's making movies on location.
She don't know what it means.
But the music make her want to be the story.
And the story was whatever was the song what it was.
Roller girl don't worry
D.j. play the movies, all night long!"
"Come slipping and sliding.
Life's roller ball.
Slipping and a sliding.
Skateaway that's all. Skateaway.
Shala shalay hey hey, skateaway.
She's going singing shala shalay, hey hey
Skateaway."
