It comes to the end of the show on sunday and we pack up all the kit and most of the team head home. I decided to stay on camp for another night to avoid the traffic. I pop along to a local pub tat we had been to most nights, park up in the front car park and get chatting to some friendly Land Rover fans. They loved our G4 and was impressed with the mods we had made for our bike kit. Just as we were chatting about the rarity of the vehicles this pulls in- I was 100% gobsmacked! This very new Defender is from the Nederlands and that chap (on the bonnet) is Mathijs who is the Product manager for LRN. He and a couple of mates had come over to Goodwood to enjoy the event. They had popped out looking for somewhere to eat and spotted me. We all had a great night thanks to their boot load of Grolsh!

I guess they had a slightly lighter payload when they pulled out of the carpark in the morning then - thanks to your patented alcohol filtering system heh! Catch up with you again soon Giles! Brian. P.S. How was Land Rover's presence at Goodwood this year? Last year they had the Special Stage set-up from our 06 event, but i tried to offer my help this year and they said they weren't doing anything 'special' at goodwood - whatdidyousee?

They took loads of pics of the FFRR as they don't have any there as 40% car and 60% tax so very expensive. Other than the land rover statue on the lawn i didn't think they did enough as the event was celebrating 60 years of land rover and porsche.

Here's the sculpture that Goodwood had made and Land Rover paid for outside Goodwood house. I know how much its cost, any guesses??? I did a bit of photo editing cause I thought the RR deserved it!

a Group: G4 Member Posts: 1.2K, Visits: 6.8K	As TJ101 says looks like XS spec. Appears to be very close to the recce vehicles appearance but is fitted with 2006 rack and snorkle but has the new Hella lights. Recce ones have the new Mantec plastic snorkle. G4 plaque looks bigger than the old one too. Adrian Adrian Technical Officer G4 Owners Club D110 - Mongolia 2008 - 1925YbA - Recce D2 - Australia 2003 - 1BIJ-664 - Australia/ Russia Media car.
