Watching it now, top man that Ray, all ways loved his shows, only right he drives a landy!

He is.

Had the pleasure of spending some time with him this year, in the woods (oo' ear missus) and he is the real deal - genuine, down to earth and exactly as you'd hope he would be based on his programs. A true gent.

Another Defender owner, whom I respect greatly is Monty Don - drives his own Def 90 (TD5 - might be a 300?) in all of his TV work.

Hope it comes to Aus.
We used to live in Herefordshire, in a village called Vowchurch, where my Dad was The Vicar. A river flowed past the Church,..would that've been The Wye?

The Wye runs north of there west to East to Hereford.

Yep it's the River Dore through Vowchurch which then flows into the River Monnow on the England/Wales border then onto the River Wye at Monmouth, so Pickles, it does get to the Wye eventually

Thanks guys, "The River Dore", now I remember, it was a long time ago.
On one occasion Mum stopped outside the Church, and when she went to drive off she couldn't because the road had iced up & she didn't have enough momentum/traction to get over the bridge,...too much wheelspin,...very rare on an Austin 10!!
