    Andrew has a huge following in South Africa and the UK’s 4×4 and overlanding community, who know him for his ‘say-it-like-it-is’ manner, unbiased and honest appraisals of vehicles and equipment and for causing a bit of a stir when he expresses his opinion. Since his first book in 1993, he has become the world’s most prolific 4×4 author with 14, 4×4 titles and over 100 000 books in print. His TV exploits began well before that however, and he has worked with television, behind and in front of the camera, for over 30 years. The series is mostly in a how-to style and includes many of the ‘skills’ videos also available on 4xforum.com, but with more vehicles, equipment and stunning locations.

    This is a documentary of my 4x4 career between 1972 and 2004. Made in 2005.

    In 1987 I took an ill-fated expedition into Botswana during which I had an accident which smashed the front of my vehicle. Shot on early VHS video tape, the quality is poor, but the trip entertaining.

    My record for getting stuck in one day is seven. This expedition to explore the Magkadikgadi Pans in Botswana involves a Range Rover and my own Defender One-Ten. Really enjoyable video.

    My first visit to the desert mountains known as the Richtersveld was in 1993, while I was researching my second 4x4 book. A convoy of three Land Rover Defenders brave the terrain. A memorable trip.

    A short family visit to the Namib desert in 1994.
