I'm in the wrong job!

My old mode of transport (the red one) was not as fast but a much better posing wagon.

Indeed it was @mid life crisis mid seventees a load went through over the years. All 6x4 with a rear trailing axle due to the weight (909 litres of foam/water mix). 3.5 litre up to the last edition of 4.2 litre I think. Green ones for the Harrier Force UK and Germany with wintered ones for Norway. Great piece of kit. Shocker to drive though with massive body roll

In the early 60s the 'proper' big red fire engines suffered from suspension seizing. So those in charge produced a piece of road with huge undulation and gave the order that all fire engines were to be driven over this road every day to exercise the suspension to it's fullest extent. MT drivers didn't fancy it because it loosened their fillings! But, they had to do what they were told. Those red land rovers were fire engines were they not? They didn't make it. At this time the mark vi (?) came out and the drivers found that they could take off the steering wheel and pass it around the cab whilst driving. This was O.K. if the last man was quick. Some were not.

@One Spanner Frank tad before my time but DP1, 2 & 3. MK6 & 7? Yeah, the 6x4 was indeed a "one shot" rescue vehicle extended Range Rover with its predecessor being a 4x4 Land rover.

Sorry @S54addict
