JC's Camel Trophy Experience... - Land Rovers Only

01001010 · 05-01-2006, 09:36 PM

LOL..not really but I was looking for the video. I went to my dealer (Land Rover South Dade...which SUCKS) on Friday. I walk up to the receptionist - Parts & Accs Dept. was closed for some reason - who is flirting with one of the techs and ask...

JC: Would you guys happen to know if you have any of the Camel Trophy Movies in stock?

Receptionist & Tech:

Tech: Camel what??

JC: The Camel Trophy movies man...ONLY the most famous Land Rover expeditions!!!

Receptionist:

Tech: I don't know man, you would have to talk to _____ (forgot his name, the head hancho of the dealer)

Hancho JUST so happens to show up at that moment and he explains that they havent had them for a few years and that Land Rovers North Dade didnt have them either.

I simply COULD NOT believe that a TECH!!!! was CLUELESS as to what the Camel Trophy was! Before I responded to his "Camel what???" my jaw dropped! I did a "is-this-really-happening" type of face.

I've read a few other experiences on here similar to mine, but if you've had a recent one please do post!..lol

well, i would never infringe on a copyrighted film by making an illegal copy but...

i've heard (from other people) that a program called handbrake works well. it is supposedly able to decrypt and encode into .mp4, .avi, etc. search the interweb for it.

LOL.....this would be for personal use only since it is not my DVD and I have to give it back.

Rovers North has a lot of the CT videos, but they are all available in the LR mags like Land Rover Enthusiast and Land Rover Owners Int'l.
