We did it! Thank you all for hitting that subscribe button. It's a meaningless figure really, but it still means a lot as a measure of support. To celebrate, I drove a proper dream vehicle of mine - a 1978 Land Rover Forward Control 101-inch V8, courtesy of Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works! I'd never driven one before - would it match up to my expectations? This is a design made for the military, with over 2600 built.
As an extra bonus, this video includes a look around one of the Judge Dredd film cars, which were based on the FC101! That film car is for sale with Hallam Bros in Hayfield, High Peak for £25,000 - www.hallambros.co.uk/
Huge thanks to Jaguar Land Rover. There are tours of the Classic Works, which cost £49 adult, £39 child. It is an astonishing place. www.jaguar.co.uk/experience-j...
Here's a previous look around this remarkable place. • Jaguar Land Rover Clas...
Finally, the HubNut store is still trading while I'm overseas, and can be found at hubnut.org - don't worry. The videos will keep on coming too! Albeit, not daily as has been the case recently. Thank you. It means a lot to be able to call this my job. It's hard work (believe it or not!) but I do not mind at all.

Really enjoyed the video as usual. I was the mechanic on a trans African trip in 90-91. We drove 2 of them from Oxfordshire to Uganda. Across the Sahara, through the Congo. Involved in a military coup. Lots of awesome adventures and the trucks are the best land rover ever made. We ran with around a tonne in the back which really soya them out.

Alan, the Pinzgauer replaced the 101. The RB44 was mostly used by Signals. I seen a few in Bosnia being used by SAS based at the school Vitez. Agreed it was a dreadful vehicle!

I drove one in MT Troop. I was told you were supposed to go on a course before you drove them, obviously I never got sent on that. The first thing I always had to find was an adjustable spanner. REME used to put a bolt under the accelerator to limit travel as a crude restrictor which I used to remove. Standout was when someone took one out and I said "do you think you can handle the power?" A couple of hours later he re-appeared looking slightly the worse foe wear, he'd put it in a ditch. Fortunaely he was completely unharmed. I was always slightly wary of them as their was a story going around, true or false, that the prop shaft would disconect at the front and turn it into a pole vaulter...

You've just reminded me how much fun I had in my 101 RHD GS back in the early 90s. Huge fun at traffic lights - would beat lots of hot hatches up to about 30 mph... Sadly at 12mpg I couldn't afford to keep it. Oh, by the way, the ride is much improved with half a ton of sand in the back. Off road it was just awesome. Now going to dig out the photos and relive some memories... Thanks Ian and enjoy NZ. Scenery in South Island superb.

“You’re in the army now, Son! Control that truck! Move it! Move it!” Hehe! ...What an heroic rising, long one (gear leaver) not withstanding, to mastery of the joyful obstreperousness! Reminiscent of a loco cab, those flirtatious little wipers with all the cheeky, making Sgt Hub Nut spatially aware of his knees! Not one to take around The Ring, perhaps, but if the Chinese invade, this martial machine has a driver!

When I was serving in the TA during the Cold War I got the chance to drive a couple of these - the Mortar Platoon had them, we (HQ Coy) had a 101 ambulance and we later got an FFR (fitted for radio) as a command vehicle, most were RHD. Even though they weren't fast (you really wouldn't want to go fast in one) they felt fast if only for the sound of the magnificent V8 - thanks Buick! I do recall the REME mechanics had a load of problems with broken gear linkages though. However they were absolutely rubbish in the snow (Otterburn in winter). I was following the FFR in a mere Defender and the 101 kept falling off the road - too much weight on the front wheels perhaps? The Defender had no such problem. But you felt like King of the Road when you drove one, with the commanding driving position and the sound of the V8 just begging you to put your foot down. You've brought back happy memories, thanks Ian

50k Big Congrats!! Driving the bouncy FC101 down the nice and bumpy Fosse Way seems appropriate. Despite living within 15 miles I've never actually been up Burton Dassett hills so bonus footage for me there. A year or so after Judge Dredd was released the Land Rover Dealer in Stratford on Avon (Yarnolds as it was then) had 3 or 4 of the Dredd Landies For Sale, from memory they were asking silly money for them.

Well done, 50K! You deserve to grow at an exponential rate with videos like this one. Absolutley brilliant. A good friend of mine was nearly killed by one of these in the early 80's. A soldier in Colchester, a big garrison town for those who don't know, forgot what a red traffic light meant. He jumped the lights and hit my friend who was riding his Suzuki TS250 across the junction. Friend spent several weeks in a coma. He survived but was never the same afterwards. He didn't blame the vehicle though so we can still revel in the glory that is the FC101.

Congratulations on your 50K subs and the perfect vehicle to celebrate with. A couple of weeks ago I asked you to do a vid on a Haflinger and you indicated you would if you could get a vehicle but what I nearly also asked you to test was the FC101 and you have done it. I have had a roadgoing 101 for over 10 years and in my view they are the greatest series style LR there is. Here in Australia I manage to get mine offroad a lot and have driven it great distances - far more relaxed than a series 3 or 2 or even a series 2. The 101 will get up to 120kph GPS speed on a long flat run and are a joy to drive after you get used to the steering, the gearchange, the ride, the noise and the numb bum. Thanks - enjoyed the vid immensely.
