It is hot and dusty on the jungle road...
...and you have 10 kids in the back of your 1976 Seies III Land Rover pickup. No radio, no worries, just sing. You are Bob Marley!
It is now in need of a little work and is getting a complete work-over.
Marley was regularly seen driving his Land Rover around the streets of Kingston, the city that inspired such hits as No Woman, No Cry, Three Little Birds and I Shot the Sheriff using it to transport his famous band, The Wailers, and their equipment to gigs throughout Jamaica.

Skyfall: James Bond film review
I went to see the new James Bond film last night and I feel that a full film review is in order.
I was surprised that the director decided to give us the best right away and not hold anything back. Money Penny drove a Land Rover 110 Double Cab Pick Up in the first chase scene and there were many things about this scene which made it the best in the movie. First it was long. It gave the viewer plenty of time to admire and lust over the Rover. The Double Cab Pick Up is a great vehicle that we do not get to see on the streets in the States (this is a travesty). Of course the chase was dangerous with all of the tight urban streets of Istanbul, but Money Penny had no problem behind the wheel of her Rover and all of the bullets hitting the Rover did not stop it. We then had to endure a break in the action while the bad guy and Bond played around on some motorcycles. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against motorcycles, but let's face it, they were not made by Land Rover and isn't this just a bit of a waste of film? Back to the real action, the guys get rid of the moto chase thing and jump on a train. A train you say. Not made by Rover? Waste of film? No. The Rover is driving along with the train and having to dodge VW cars as they fall off the train. At the end of the long chase Money Penny finally makes her big blunder and stops the Rover and gets out and well there is nothing left to say except for she is no longer driving a Rover.
