| Alan Bowles - Treasurer & Membership Secretary.
Alan learned to drive
off road in the East African bush when he was only just old enough to see
through the steering wheel of his father’s Series II, with blocks fitted
on the pedals and a cushion under his backside. All highly irregular of
course, and not to be condoned, but that’s how things were done out
there. Years later back in England he turned up for his driving test in
the same Series II, much to the examiner’s disapproval! Alan acquired
his own first LR, a Freelander TD4, in 2002 and was green laning in it
just three weeks later. Since then it has had various modifications, and
gets out and muddy as often as possible. Alan has been with M.A.D
Freelanders since the start and is also a committee member of the
Freelander Club. |

Les Plant - Southern England West Area Rep Les has worked in the house-building industry all his life and is now working as a site manager for a major house-builder. Drove his first Land-Rover (series 2A) at the age of 14. But turned to motorbikes after leaving school and spent the next 14 years on 2 wheels. Has always wanted a Land Rover and when the opportunity arose he purchased a Freelander. Also collects model Land-Rovers and has a collection of over 150, and can claim to owning a centre steer!!!! (Albeit a model one!!). He enjoys getting out in the country-side so greenlaning fits the bill. |
