Come On Eileen

THE SIMPSON? SERIOUSLY?

- Dean Mellor

I HAVE owned my little Series IIA Landy for 18 months now and in that time the only thing that’s needed attention was a loose wire on the ignition coil, which was promptly detected, tightened and sorted. Admittedly, I only get the Landy out once a week or so and usually only for short stints, so it only covers about 1000km a year.

If you recall the last In The Shed update (Dec, 2018), I mentioned that one day I’d like to drive the Landy across the Simpson Desert, “while wearing a big bloody hat with the roof down” – after all, what better way to immerse myself in the complete desert experience than driving it at a slow pace with the wind in my hair (in my case, that’d be facial hair, because there’s nothing left up top).
