Tractor World Show is returning and will be bigger and better than ever! It will be staged over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd March 2014 at the now familiar venue of the Three Counties Showground in Malvern. The 2014 event should see even more clubs, more traders and new features – details for which will be announced soon. The hugely popular auction will return on the Saturday, hosted by specialist HJ Pugh & Sons. In addition, there will be a model tractor area, practical demonstrations, a road run and a vintage sort-out and spares day on the Sunday. Tractor World at Three Counties Showground is easily accessible, not far off the M5 in Worcestershire. Advance ticket prices are £10.00 per day for adults. Under 15s go free and there’s a great value weekend camping pass, for two adults for the advanced price of just £50.

Louise Limb has been drawing Land Rovers in her unique style for more years than she probably wants to admit. Not only is she a talented artist, she knows – and loves – her subject and that always comes out in her work, which has a very subtle touch, unusual in the grit and grease world of old Land Rovers, and which makes a refreshing change. Her work is regularly published in our sister magazine, Land Rover World, and you can get a great selection of her drawings in her new 2014 Calendar. Let’s face it, this could be a great Christmas gift for any 4×4 enthusiast. The calendar is very reasonably priced at only £16 (including UK P&P) via www.louiselimb.com. Overseas postage charges are on the web site or contact Louise direct at [email protected] for more information. You’ll also find a great selection of Christmas cards on the site as well.

With all the dire warnings coming about a seriously ‘bad’ winter ahead, we have found the ideal piece of kit for all 4×4 owners! This is the Rampage Snow Plough from Warrior Winches. It has an 82 inch blade and can be fitted to the front of most light trucks and SUVs. It can be shipped in a single package that would fit a standard sized pallet and weighs only 276kg. The plough can be fitted, or removed in minutes. Be honest, you’d love one! For more details, go to www.warriorwinch.co.uk

WE have have been following Les Carvel and his team’s exploits driving a couple of Suzuki Jimnys around the top of the world over the last few months. Well, it’s great to confirm that Les, and the Jimnys, have made it safely back home. We are hoping to have the full details of this adventure in the next issue of the magazine. The trip was a fund raising tour for the charity www.heavencanwaitimbusy.com and the money raised is going to Save The Children and the Oakhaven Hospice at Lymington, Hampshire. Well done, Les.
