That is incredible ... I want to do that with my wagon.

That shot of the mud puddle looks scary.

Hey Rolf, is that pic flipped backwards or was your wagon a RH drive?

That guy with the Sahara Yellow 300TD posted here I believe, his name is Jurgen and has a very well documented photostream on Flickr. His username there is 300td.org and has logged more W123 expeditions than I could ever imagine.

How does he do it? I got stuck in the sand just parking at the beach... Do TDs have a LSD?

My favorite pic: http://flickr.com/photos/300tdorg/2241546864/in/set-72157605174982165/
This photo album is phenomenal.
That pic of my wagon was taken during my cellphones last days. I believe it is upside down and flipped or somethig

ASD in the late '80s or early 90s, but not in the USA on the TD.

Is the TD towing the Land Cruiser?



One of the most unique W123 images I've ever seen



Amazing...
