expedition truck
Had a look at your truck, you did a grand job! I`ve just started to convert a Bedford MJ with an office body fitted to it. The plan is to take an overland trip in a few years (when the kids are just a bit older) and at the rate i work three years might not be enough ! Any way hope you get the truck sold, cheers....marty.
ps. did you travel any of the desert pistes of Morocco ? if so tell me more as thats our first destination.

Be Nice to Rob Day
Hey Rob, you should keep that up on the WWW as a reference for all the self builders out there! (me included)
You really did a marvellous job, it must be strange to have to part with it.
My Iveco will be going onto the market next year because of a growing family and I'm already upset about it. (Over the moon with the reason, but still..)
What's your next project? (I know you have one, we all do)
Cheers
Luke

Hi Marty
I only got to go down some of the more normal roads in Morocco as i was in convoy with some German lads until i had to rush back to the UK, Dad spent two weeks in intensive care. but did do a bit in the deep sand and would highly recommend and old Bedford as it had no probs.
If you want to go in convoy there is always a few big trucks parked up Dec Jan time, 5 kms north west of Tarifa at the beach. and they always know the cheapest places to get ferry tickets.
Hi Luke
at the moment i have no more plans for building another as i have had to come home to look after my folks, there old and seen determined to get value for money from the health service. so stuck in the UK for a bit
