I'm from Guyana and believe it or not this is what the locals do there every day to get around in the jungle, taking in supplies and bringing out gold and diamond. The favourite is the old British military's Bedford Model M and the old/original Land Rover.
The old LR discovery was great for this kind of work, but I hardly believe the new one could start in such race.
My dream is to start in CT as part of Poland Team , but now it is imposible :/. Mayby some day I'll buy old LR Discovery and just go for my own 'trophy' :).
@gurnug The new discovery is so good as the old, just dont have the spirit of the old. see the G-$ Challenge videos, you could participate in that...=) Land Rover <3
@gurnug ive been wanting to do my own camel trophy for a while. soon im going to be trading in my wrangler for a defender and hope to go on an expedition from CT to south america
Couldnt agree more. Unfortuniatly as long as health and saftey and the greens are around i cant see it happening again :-(. I watched a clip of the G4 challenge and well....yea more like a triathlon.
That american driver at 2:24 looks like he is straight out of 'nam with that sweet moustache combined with the Ray Ban aviators! And his side kick with the mullet, priceless :-)

In the states I see few discoverys with manual transmissions, never a diesel engine, and always power windows.
Do they make a utilitarian version with manual roll-up windows?

Do u use 1st low anyothertime than rock crawling and decending steep slopes.

@mollyandtiger no, generally start off in 2nd gear low range, 1st has a tendency to just make the wheels skid and lose traction
