Mid 70s and the band's obsession with Range Rovers.
I'm fairly sure the video was shown at gigs around that time before the band came on stage.

Hi All, Thanks for that DTIM...
I knew John was (Still is) into his military and 4X4 but not Rick (RIP) apart from him being a bit of a lover of fast cars, as for Alan and Francis I take it may have just been for the advert ? I don't know if either were or are into motors ? All I saw it as was a massive advert for Leyland/Rover - Range Rover and what better way to give it a plug than to shove a band as big as Quo were at that particular time in four Range Rovers and let them tear around in them ? I love it!!!!!!............
Geoff.

Geoff. Think they all dabbled with Range Rovers at one time. Though Francis is not a car freak in the same way that Rick had been, if he liked something then he used to get a few! Francis had a couple of Porsches and Range Rovers which doesn't seem like Francis really, but he's more into BMWs these days. Roy Lynes liked cars but more in terms of the engineering side.

Good sound track to it as well ! but it looks like Rick might have got a kiddie car out of the deal

I actually bought the video in the early eighties. Heard an ad on the radio for some music videos and they mentioned Quo. I thought I'll have to get one of those new-fangled VCR machines. Ended up having to ring a few mail-order companies from a video mag until I found one who had it in stock. Was about £20, which at the time was pretty expensive. Especially for such a short title. I lent it to someone and never got it back. But got a bootleg video at a record fair in the 90s which included it.

Ive heard of that before but never seen it, thanks!
A weekend of winching not wenching love it ...
Never mind off road, on the way home from points south today we stopped to help some young persons who had driven through a puddle and killed the engine, then flattened the battery by trying to restart it again. And then found they were in a mobile phone signal black hole and couldn't call their breakdown people. Survival hint: having a really old fashioned phone with a Vodafone pay as you go sim on it reaches the parts most other phones don't seem to be able to reach ...
Then not half an hour later I had to pull up on a roundabout approach because some T---- overtaking too fast in oen of those big puddles swamped my windscreen for enough seconds that I had to pull up ... and watch the t---- behind us not quite climb in through the back windscreen.
Taking floats next time it rains.
