...There's been one problem with the "fate" of the original "Rover" -
there's been at least a dozen expeditions to try and find the damn
thing, and nobody's been able to find it. Footage of the Rover's
demise has finally been scrounged up, and last I hear the geeks at Six
of One managed to determine where it sank, but they still can't find
it.

Wonder what Curt's doing these days? There might be a new recovery
project for him here...:-)


How is he with wet sand? Port Meirion is on an estuary with a decent
tidal range, at low tide there's a lot of reasonably flat surface that's
firm enough to race your Mini Moke across, the rest of the time the
currents are moving things around a lot. Some tourist will probably get
the fright of their life when it pops up in front of them one day.
