70s on African Safari (BBC TV)

[Farmer_Fred]

Hello all,
There's a series showing on TV at the moment called "Big Cat Live", which follows the story of some incredibe creatures in Kenya's Masai Mara. The preferred mode of transport out there is of course Landcruiser 70's so take a look if you have time. Episode 4 was on last night and well worth watching.
BBC iPlayer - Search results for big cat
Enjoy!

Says you have to be in the UK to view the TV Programs. I'm sure there is a work around but I don't know it.

Hello,

In a recent visit to my mother, I found her watching a documentary on the National Geographic Channel about Africa. The host was somewhere in Namibia aboard a Land Cruiser.

"All these hosts/narrators in NatGeo... They all ride in Land Cruisers," she said, pointing at my Cruiser. She spent her early years with my grandfather in his Land Rover, and after that in his FJ40 (with me in the back seat, but that is another story.)

"Yes, they do," I replied. "And we both know how reliable a Land Cruiser is." She nodded.

It is always good to see Cruisers in action, whether on TV or in everyday's life.
