it should be the dog that was sent by the soviets into space and
never returned back. i guess the land rover's faith will be
similar. i hope not for the time being :)

Great news about the buses - lets hope those old ones will
return, they were a highlight when we were in Malta on hols a
few years ago (OK 35 few years ago ;D ).

there are still some alive - properly rebuilt used for touristic
purposes but normal commute is in kinglong or old euorpean
buses. but you can still see some old ones trundling around.

I do not know if this is a good idea to unearth this thread. but
anyhow just a few photos from the things i went through this
summer.
after yet another topless spree.. (April 2016 down till
September 2016) i decided to go full length canvas (500ish euros
:loser:).. Though the thought of how cool it looks sends a
shiver down my legs and i feel an urge of picking up the keys
and setting out for a short trip around this insignificant
boulder i live on.
i also did carpets (britpart with major mods here), door cards
(homemade), bought a mismatching seat cover (dark grey instead
of black.. was very unsure of what to do so i don't know.. )
covered the bonnet and some areas around engine in sound
proofing material - it is not whisper quiet but it made a
difference. if only the DEESTONES were not that noisy 8)
anyhow pics :)

Loving the new canvas. 8)
Carpets and soundproofing? - You're getting too posh for this
place! ;D

hi Kev. yeah it looks a bit posh now really :D
The rubbers are still producing a loud humm! that compensates
for the few engine decibels lost due to the carpeting and foam.
:) but i guess it needs new wheel bearings or adjustment
(gearbox and OD are getting a bit noisy too)
take care you lot.

Hi Joseph,
My wife's mother paid for them both to have a holiday in Malta.
I think my wife had an altercation with a policeman ... she
though he was "coming on" to her.
Circa 1959, I read about Faith, Hope and Charity. I believe one
of them is a memorial somewhere ... any chance of a picture,
pretty please. If you are into such things, see if you can find
the film MALTA STORY, staring Alec Guiness, probably released in
the mid-1950s, on Google. Some older films can be viewed on your
PC, for free.
