Tweed out: Scramble the Land Rover!

Monday 8th

Hello, I'm Rob a life-long obsessed car tragic.  I'll be driving my 1982 Land Rover Series 3 on the DGD; a British institution and a total liability given it was dragged out of a poly-tunnel where it was laid up for over 5 years. I've given it  thick-gloss-coat of new parts to get it in running condition over only a couple of weeks and it's been put straight into active service.  It's slow, agricultural, stinks  and remains always about 10% broken, but it's been an invaluable tool and garners the same sort of love as a old family hound.

DGD covers both the brain and the prostate both of which, being about as mechanically sound as my Land Rover, I've had trouble with, so I'm keen to give some back to charity.  The bonus is I don't have to do any running, swimming or get in a bath of beans to do so.  I will however probably end up broken down in the rain soaking my tweed, so there is still a risk and endurance element, which I hope in some small way justifies my bucket rattling.

See you at Gaydon and thank you in advance.

Getting behind the wheel for The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive

Thursday 3rd On Sunday, September 28th 2025, I'll be taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive. Together with thousands of classic car enthusiasts around the world, I will be raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health for the charity, Movember.

Before the dapper day, I'll be looking to raise as much as possible for the cause, to help men around the world live happier and healthier lives. With men's chances of developing prostate cancer later in life increasing, and one man dying every minute by suicide, we must do all we can to prevent more men from suffering.

This is something that affects us all and together, we can make a change. Please give what you can.
