I’m a fan of Matthew Hampshire’s photography but also wanted to see how the Flickr embed code is working these days.

Land Rover Coffee Truck
Two of my favorite things: Land Rovers and coffee. Here’s the story and some more pictures.
Land Rover 101 Forward Control
A friend is the proud owner of a Land Rover 101 Forward Control and he and his son worked on it this weekend. I believe this was a Dutch military ambulance. (interior)
Badass Tricycle
Spotted this monster in the supermarket parking lot.

These are the guys that lit my Land Rover fuse. I agree with Ricardo. The Land Rover is “the most photogenic” of all cars.
The Land of Land Rovers
Last year was the 70th anniversary of the Land Rover marque. One of the commemorative events involved a visit to a remote community in West Bengal, deep in the Himalayas. Known as the “Land of Land Rovers,” they are reliant on a fleet of dozens of meticulously maintained Series Land Rovers dating back as far as 1957. The video shows the 31km journey made frequently by the residents of Maneybhanjang, which sits at an altitude of 3,636m.

1972 Jeepster Commando
From the shop of Paul Bandelier: “Essentially, every part had to be created or custom fit to work. Virtually no easy bolt-on equipment. The engine is a new crate motor from Cummins called the R2.8. It’s a pretty popular re-power option for a lot of vintage trucks.” Here’s a great video of the Commando on (and off) the road.
1972 Dodge W200
An ex-Forest Service truck. The entire drivetrain is from a 1992 Dodge Cummins donor truck. Thus there was no need to fabricate and engineer every single piece. With some work, all of the ’92 parts fit in the ’72 body and frame. The pride and joy of Paul Bandelier.
