Default ran into some pommies today.

so im underneath a freightliner replacing the output seal on the rear diff and i look out the door and see a landrover defender 130 right hand drive (obviously this wasnt their nieghborhood) and out jumps 4 17 yr old kids, and a tiny old englishman who looked like the guy from jurassic park in what appear to be pommie boy scouts uniforms. I was at this point curious to see this crew and of course see their d 130 as its probably the only one in texas, any way the are some type of private youth organization that trains young kids how to do water and off road rescue, and they shipped their 85 land rover to texas, to drive all the way to california hitting all the off road parks to do their off road training, and the first stop was hidden falls adventure park here in texas and they ripped out their rear drive-shaft, and came to us to build them one. You will notice the pile of tools on the ground in the pick, not exactly what i would bring on a round the world expedition, but after about 2 hours they got the drive line in.
