....a quick update as I am overwhelmed by the feedback and positive reactions of the past few days. The reach my initial post of this campaign on my "Rallyewerk" page on Facebook (last Sunday) has had is totally mind-blowing to me and the stream of messages and phone calls of support are beyond...

Good morning guys and sorry for the long silence. It´s been very tough 15 months for me and I am only slowly getting back onto my feet, but sadly not fast enough to safe my Defender which requires rather immediate funds to safe and have it rebuild by the show that I commissioned to do the work...

...early summer 2016.... After a wonderful surprise with this birthday cake... ...we hit the road to discover Sardinia. A first shattering sound, just 60mls after leaving home, almost ended our trip, but miraculously, after a brief stop, the Rhino went on....until about 600 yards before the...

After swapping twin-motor winches I got back on my tray setup. I was´t happy with the old Frontrunner Tray and had been sourcing for an alternative the first 6 months of 2016. I did find find a great solution, but being custom made, it proved rather pricy :-( My friend Daniel luckily declined...

Having just returned from Levi, Finland, where I was working for the Porsche Driving Experience 2017, I am back home (still with a tiny makeshift office), but I found my login to this forum again...YEAH ;-) If you don´t mind, here´s a little look back to what happened in 2016.... June 2nd...

Love that and thanks ;-) I am off for a weekend camping close to the Alps and will commence work next week!
