Born t o r y & P h o t o s b y L

Free o u i s e O r l a n d Redux o [15 years ago, Louise Orlando and Andrew Barbour, Cape Charles, VA, spent a year driving a 1960 Series II Land Rover from London to Cape Town. Their adventures formed the basis of Andrew’s writing the Fodor’s Guide to South Africa. In this article Louise recounts her love affair with one of Land Rover’s true classics –ed.] with little problem, but we are towing a heavy trailer. Each time we bog down, we have to pull out the sand mats, unhitch the trailer, dig ourselves out, then turn the Land Rover around and haul the trailer clear with our winch. We have a sneaking suspicion that we will die out here, either blown to bits by a mine or because we simply cannot force our way through the deep sand. I look over at my then- boyfriend, Andrew, as he unspools the winch cable for the 15th time. “Whose bright idea was it to drive a vehicle the length of Africa?” I ask, knowing full well that it was mine. It all started about 14 months earlier in San Francisco, where we were living. After a particularly bad day at work, we treated ourselves to dinner at an Italian restaurant, drank a lot of wine, and convinced ourselves that we should quit our jobs to travel overland through Africa. It made sense at the time. Wine does that to you. Of course, we didn’t get from the wine to the desert easily. In the days that followed, there was a lot of discussion about how we’d travel. Andrew wanted to backpack. I wanted motorcycles. But when we rented the movie Born Free, I instantly knew that we had to drive through Africa, for no other We’re stuck again, buried up to the axles in fine Sahara sand in reason than that I had fallen head-over-heels for the Land Rover the middle of a minefield. Our convoy of vehicles, 23 in all, has that Elsa slept on. Who cares that the movie was 30 years old? I been abandoned by our Moroccan military escorts at the needed that car. Andrew thought I was nuts. no-man’s land separating Western Sahara and Mauritania. No Thus began my search. Within three weeks I found our wonder. A 50-kilometer-wide minefield spreads before us, and Land Rover. The ad read: 1960 Series II Land Rover, mint the shifting sands obscure the tracks of any other vehicles. condition, 32,000 miles. I called. A man named Scotty (yes, he Blowing winds have uncovered some mines, but who knows was Scottish) answered. I drilled him: Is the car really in mint what others lie buried just beneath the surface? condition? Does it have any rust? How big is it? Could I drive it Our fear is compounded by the fact that we keep getting across Africa? Laughter filled the phone. My face glowed red. stuck. On its own, our SWB Series II can traverse the soft dunes This guy thinks I’m a fool, I thought, but instead he started

But something actually a benefit because it was so easy to fix, and that it would wasn’t quite right. Scotty addressed almost all his comments carry us the length of Africa and back. Before I realized it, we about mechanics to Andrew, leaving me as note-taker. I half had plans to meet over the weekend. Andrew thought that I had expected to be asked to make coffee. I know cars have long gone soft in the head. What did we know about cars? We were been the domain of men, but I was damned if I was going to be city folk. We were editors, for God’s sake! I rarely drove, had no passenger on this adventure. Put simply, Scotty was going to idea how to drive a stick shift, and had never put my head under shift gears, double clutch himself, so to speak, and teach me. To the hood of a car. his credit, he made the adjustment without grinding gears. Oh, but it was love at first sight. My eyes glazed over, my Soon enough, my nails were as black with grease as heart skipped a beat. She was beautiful—classic Land Rover Andrew’s. Over the ensuing weeks, Scotty gave me a crash green with a white tropical roof. Andrew was smitten, too. The course in Land Rover repair, including how to change the Land Rover cupid drilled us both through the heart with a exhaust-manifold gasket (how cool was that!), adjust the hypoid-filled arrow. We leaped at Scotty’s suggestion that we brakes, and replace the generator with a marine alternator. take it for a test drive, but we lost courage when he mentioned I skinned my knuckles removing stubborn bolts, covered myself the need to double-clutch into second gear. Double-clutch? in oil, and sported an array of unsightly bruises. Instead, Scotty did the honors, while we piled into the front seat Meanwhile, Scotty advised us on the tools, spares, and next to him. equipment we would need on our journey, everything from I sat in the middle, with my legs draped over Andrew. Scotty spanners and ratchet sets to rear axles (a potential field started her up. She purred. He put her in gear and we were off. weakness on Series Rovers, we discovered) and high-lift jacks. He demonstrated double clutching, low range, and high range. As the list of our equipment grew longer and longer, Andrew listened to Scotty intently, but it all flowed over me - I it became clear that we were facing a serious space problem. was simply trying to control my excitement. What the heck was The roof rack was off limits—we planned to pitch our tent up that smell? It was an aphrodisiac. You know exactly what I’m there as protection from both animals and people—leaving no talking about. It’s about as far from that new car smell as you room for our 10 jerrycans or second spare wheel. can get. It’s the lovely aroma of hypoid and lightly fried Lucas The inside of our 88” was already full. We had built two electrics. large, lockable wooden boxes to fit snugly inside the back of the Scotty operated his own Land Rover repair shop, so we Land Rover. The boxes held our food and medical supplies, made an offer for the Series II that included mechanic lessons, clothes, camera equipment, laptop, and key spare parts. We spare parts, and a roof rack. For the next three months, we had smaller plastic storage bins with tight-fitting lids stacked

21 inside each large box. For extra storage we clipped some old hard experience that the Land Rover was the best off-road German army rucksacks to the roof joints. Worried still about vehicle in the world, bar none. And these guys liked to test their expedition storage, we ended up buying a trailer from Scotty: vehicles. the back-end of an old Series II fitted with a metal top and a They led us into the high desert of western Nevada, where towing mechanism. It was a real brick. we didn’t see another soul for three days. Hardly surprising. To help us get some off-road experience, Scotty also Our little convoy sought out the roughest tracks and rocky introduced us to a Northern California Land Rover club. When trails en route to secluded hot springs, dry lakebeds, and the club members heard of our planned Africa adventure, they awe-inspiring grandeur. That weekend, the club members invited us to join them for a weekend camping trip in Nevada. taught us how to drive off road, when to use high and low range, We agreed nervously. For starters, it was only our second time and at what angle we could go without tipping. I learned how to camping. We still didn’t own any gear (we rented what we hang off the side of the car to provide extra ballast, clear trails needed). Secondly, the club’s members all seemed to have odd with a pick axe, and select the best angles of approach. When names like Bugman and Fire Guy. What were we getting into? one of the Land Rovers pitched sideways down a steep bank, Land Rover enthusiasts are a breed of their own, and this the guys were almost giddy to see how our PTO-driven club was no different. They were an incredibly diverse group, Koenig winch would work (like a champ). with one thing in common: They were passionate about Ours was the oldest Land Rover on the trip—the others Land Rovers. Suddenly, we found ourselves among people were Series IIIs—and the club members were divided over (all right, all guys) who took parental pride in the Land Rover’s our plan to drive it through Africa. Most felt that it was great propensity to leak oil, and who looked fondly upon the to see a Series II being used for its original purpose. In the eccentricities of Lucas. They were prepared to embrace eyes of a couple of guys, though, our car was a classic, these shortcomings because they had learned through something that should be babied and exhibited at car shows.

22 We had every intention of babying her, but we were going to use Africa to exhibit what she could do. The weekend with the Land Rover club filled us with confidence and knowledge. The guys kept telling us that we’d never encounter roads as bad or as treacherous as the ones we had just conquered. They repeated what Scotty had said during our first conversation: “This car will get you across Africa and back.” On our final evening, encamped on a dry lakebed at 9,000 feet, the club members built a huge bonfire. With a great deal of ceremony, they presented Andrew with a Land Rover cap that had been passed from one owner to another over the years. And to me they gave a pick axe, lauding me as one tough bird for planning such a trip. Now toughness is not something I have ever been accused of, but I suppose they weren’t used to having a woman along. Their wives and girlfriends wanted nothing to do with their smelly, noisy Land Rovers. Returning to San Francisco, we finalized our plans. Using giant Michelin maps of Africa, we traced a route that would take us on a giant S-curve through the continent, working our way from Morocco through the Sahara into West Africa. From there, we would head east, through the jungles of the Congo to Kenya and Tanzania, before turning south again toward Cape Town and South Africa. We had obtained all the necessary paperwork, bought all the supplies. All that remained was to put our Land Rover on a ship for London. For the last time, I checked our nine-page, single-spaced list of supplies and equipment. Then we drove our girl down to the docks. Waving goodbye, I felt almost sick (It’s a car, for God’s sake, not a child!). If I had known that we would be stuck in a minefield within a few short weeks, I would probably have never let her go.

There’s nothing like seeing a long line of trail-equipped Land Rovers approaching you. That is, of course, unless you are in a long line of Land Rovers heading directly towards them. That summed up the challenges presented by Mother Nature at this year’s Maine Winter Romp, held from February 15 – 17. Yes, it will snow in New England during the winter, but there’s such a thing as too much snow. Under sunny skies and chilly temperatures, the 60 Land Rovers attending – from as far away as Ohio and Pennsylvania – found themselves bogged down in deep snow and winching out constantly. The trail leaders worked quickly to change the convoy routes, but it meant that new turnarounds had to be created in the woods [waist deep snow in some areas] to permit vehicles to exit successfully. The sounds of winches turning, tow straps yanking and shovels shoveling rang through the woods. Despite the many hours of hard work [or waiting], spirits never flagged and everyone who could pitched in to help – even though we never did get to the lunch break clearing. Many of us spent a lot of time running winch cable and rope and making certain that safety never took a back step to expedience. While some heavily-kitted out vehicles found themselves stuck, some very stock vehicles [Discovery II, Range Rover Classic] proved themselves very capable. Novice drivers received a lot of hands-on instruction and learned a great deal about the extraordinary capability of their Rovers. Where Series Rovers used to predominate at this event, most enthusiasts now run their Range Rover Classics, Discovery I and IIs, and of course, their Defenders. Organizer Bruce Fowler drove 50% of the Series Is present; a few Series IIAs from Ohio [driven, not trailered] , New Brunswick and Maine stood out for their rarity. My ’66 IIA, largely stock, powered me through some fine icy sinkholes and even helped yank out others. This was great for my passengers, a toddler named Sophie and her father, Tomas. She only complained when we had to stop and seemed to enjoy the pummeling and rumbling down the trails. No wonder – her father and I spent our day grinning over another wonderful weekend in the snow. ______ ______34 Novice drivers received a lot of hands-on instruction and learned a great deal about the extraordinary capability of their Rovers.
