Having spent ages on the idea of a website but being sooooo slow in building the damn thing

I was suggested by my friend Michele to get a space here and create my blog.

Although the home pc is no longer connected (at the mo) I only have the chance to write/add images using the office pc in working time (does this mean I'll never get any job done?).

This space is intended to be rather a portfolio than a true blog, showing the pics I usually take when offroading/travelling across Italy in my Land Rover Defender, nicknamed the Cube II (the Ist was stolen in 2000 and then the nickname stuck),and my comics/illustrations...and various stuff I may come across on the way...

The Cube is a 1997 M.Y., 2.5 Tdi engined SW Defender 90, upgraded with ARBs lockable diffs, converted to Longfield Toyota style CVs and custom axles,and some other goodies*...as any other Land Rover,she's a work in progress (will it ever end...?).

*visitors who are not in the LR community will not have a clue of what I'm talking of,but...!

Get out,sell your saloon car,and buy one!Your 4WD money pit!

You'll never regret it.

Being registered as "commercial truck" the rear sits were deleted thanks to the Italian laws,so being a two seater the "crew" is composed by 2 people only...me (of course) and my friend Mauro,who usually holds the passenger/navigator/weapons officer (joke) seat.

We usually get lost.
