letters to the editor Dear Rovers North,

Dear Rovers North,

I really wanted to extend my thanks to Rovers North for sending Matt Martin and Taylor Congleton to the 2010 SCARR event. I have driven 4-wheel drives for the last 23 years, but only purchased my first Land Rover a little over 14 months ago. Even though I served 8 years in the USMC and have participated in joint exercises with foreign branches of service where their Land Rover was our Hummer, I still did not believe they were that capable of a vehicle due to my own ignorance of their off-road prowess.

Over the last 12 months I have gained more confidence in my Discovery Series II, but it really wasn't until Taylor and Matt urged me on SCARR to tackle some obstacles I normally would not have, due to my inexperience with the vehicle, that I realized how strong, sturdy, and sure-footed these vehicles are.

Taylor, by far the best spotter I have ever had guide me (I also heard this from several other members).

Over the last 20 years I have been a Staff NCO in the Marine Corps, a VP in a technology firm, a small business owner and the GM/COO for a small business. During this time I have had the opportunity to experience a multitude of employee personalities and have learned what traits to look for in them. I can tell you with full confidence after having witnessed their professionalism I would not hesitate for an instance to have both Taylor and Matt on my team.

In short and in my personal opinion, both Matt and Taylor did an outstanding job representing Rovers North at SCARR and I for one sincerely appreciate the fact that they were on hand to help guide, teach, and share their knowledge with all of us.

The Carolina Rover Owners Club Ninth Annual Uwharrie Safari was a great success. The event had over 200 participants with 84 Land Rovers. The rally would not have been so successful without the wonderful, generous support from you as a sponsor. We would like to thank you for donating the gift certificates, equipment bag, hats, shirts and of course, the beverage holders (people expect these every year now).

On behalf of all the officers at CROC, we thank you and look forward to building a stronger relationship and working with you next year.

Regards, Peter Kallodaychsak Spicewood, TX [Yes, Matt and Taylor are knowledgeable and skilled enthusiasts, but hey, why not suggest Rovers North send the Editor, too? -ed.]

Scot Haberman, President Carolina Rover Owners Club Concord, NC [The Uwharrie Safari has become recognized nationally as an outstanding event, and we wish you every success in your tenth year –ed.]

Dear Rovers North, I would like to thank you for your generous support of our Women’s Day Run of the Pacific Coast Rover Club. Once again, we enjoyed a terrific day, even though the weather differed dramatically from the 60 degree, clear skies of the scouting run day. I have to tell you that everyone got stuck at some point and after an hour long session of extrication and turning around, we declared it time to head to the winery.

Pamela Petroff Portland, OR [The PCRC has a long history of entertaining and challenging off-road events, and Rovers North is happy to support your efforts to get more enthusiasts interested in them. Keep up the great work –ed].

Dear Rovers North, Dear Rovers North, I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the new Exmoor Canvas Hood I just received. I have been driving Land Rovers for 30 years and have purchased many hoods, some Genuine, some not, but this is the best one in fit and quality that I have seen. Thanks for providing these Exmoor products for a very reasonable price.

Ian Halm Campton, NH [I have an Exmoor hood for summer use on both the QE I and the QM I, and also find them excellent products. Thanks for sharing your experience with us –ed.] rovers magazine / 4

The new cover on the Rovers Magazine was very striking. Rover is certainly the vehicle for all seasons.

My thanks to you for staying true to your mission. Land Rover is in a class of its own; it stays there, in part, because of folks like you all. Thanks, Mark, as all of us depend on our Rovers. Thanks for your help in keeping them rolling down the road.

Leighton Ogg Houston, TX [Thanks for your support of the Land Rover community, Leighton –ed.]

Dear Rovers North, During the planning of my wedding to my wife Kerry Johnson on September 12, 2009, in Temecula, CA, I wanted to somehow figure out a way to get my Defender 90 in.

I was able to convince Kerry to be driven into the reception party in the back of the Defender! Everyone thought it was a great way to make our big entrance and my wife was so happy that we ended up doing it! It will always be a great memory to have, as well as the pictures to remember it. I wanted to send this picture along to share with you and was hopeful that you would be able to include it in one of your upcoming magazine publications.

Thanks so much!

Ryan Johnson, 1997 Defender 90 Owner - #715 Hermosa Beach, CA

[Congratulations, Ryan and Kerry, on your wise decision to include your Defender 90 in the wedding party. Feel free to invite the Editor to future anniversary parties in sunny California –ed.]

Steffen and Alexandra Sailer, Metzingen, Germany, took their Land Rover around the world as nature photographers. They shared the second leg of their travels in this article –ed. rovers magazine / 6

International travelers fill the internet with advice on shipping Land Rovers between continents, but even those online warnings did not prepare us for the delays upon arriving in Australia from New Zealand. We landed in Melbourne, promptly bought a GPS to help us navigate around the city and find our custom agent’s office, and waited, waited and waited for the Landy. rovers magazine / 7

ur beloved Defender 110 arrived three weeks later than promised, and sat for nearly another week on a wharf waiting to get into the quarantine area.

Depressed and angry, we almost decided to have the Rover’s container loaded on a ship straight to Los Angeles, when the express agent finally called. On May 16, we finally could meet customs and quarantine officers at the quarantine depot to have the Landy cleared—if there weren't a bunch of flies coming out, that is....

As we arrived, we couldn't believe our eyes. This was a quarantine depot? It looked like a totally open area. The Landy sat out of its container coated in a thick layer of dust! It turned out the very nice customs officer paid far more attention to the Landy itself than the dirt (once again). Happy not to find foreign soil in any of the critical places, the agent released our Land Rover. Still, yet another missing piece of paper delayed us; our express agent hemmed and hawed, and finally, we drove off with the Rover. Cross this “custom service” off our recommendation list!

We set our sights on our first destination in Victoria, the famous Great Ocean Road with the 12 Apostles as its main attraction. A fine temperate rainforest cheered us along the Great Ocean Road, as did waterfalls and lush vegetation with lots of ferns along the trails in Great Otway National Park. Confronting rainy, cold weather, we moved onto the Red Center via Adelaide, Port Augusta, Cooper Peedy and Erludna. Despite their tacky, expensive amenities, Ayer’s Rock, Australia's most famous landmark, and The Olgas, were something special. On our way to rovers magazine / 8

Kings Canyon we then saw our first wild-roaming camel, former beasts of burden introduced generations ago, allowed to live undomesticated. Our next destination was Rainbow Valley, a very colourful cliff with a dried-up clay pan and sand dunes at its base. We chose a very nice campsite right there and settled in, enjoying the quiet and solitude.

In early June we reached Alice Springs, the biggest and only city in the Red Center. After almost a month’s travel, we could enjoy the luxury of a supermarket and a Land Rover garage; our radiator had sprung a leak. The garage couldn’t repair the aluminum radiator, so they ordered it by air transport from Melbourne. It took a week for us to purchase the only Defender radiator in Australia!

While waiting for the radiator, we ventured west out of Alice Springs into West MacDonnell National Park. There, we visited several beautiful gorges and permanent waterholes which provide a precious habitat for lots of parrots and other birds. Two days out there, something very unusal happened: it rained for a whole day! The natives seemed thrilled, but we wondered, why all this rain on the earth’s driest continent? A day later, it became sunny again and we ventured into Serpentine Gorge. We locked the Land Rover (so we thought) and hiked off. On the way, we remembered that we forgot our little pack with all the important documents and money. Nobody would steal our pack in the outback, right? Well, no—someone had stolen all of our cash.

With a lot more caution we took off to Palm Valley in Finke Gorge National Park. Caution made sense because the strictly off-road track combined very bad washboard with deep sand. The Landy had to climb over outcrops, high steps and wide gaps, but it mastered them without problems. We were happy to have suspension modifications installed which provided us with extra ground clearance.

Palm Valley merits fame due to its stand of Livingstonia Palms amidst spectacular sandstone formations in the middle of the dried-out desert. They are a relic from former times when the area was wetter and richer in vegetation.

Now, the palms get their water out of a big water basin deep down in the earth.

After one week in the West MacDonnell Range, we made our way back to Alice Springs to inquire about our radiator. The radiator had arrived, but looked damaged from shipping in an inadequate cardboard box. The mechanic generously offered to install and check it for us, and after paying a handsome fee, we took off again in the direction of Darwin. We were anxious to reach the warmer, northern part of Australia, because nights were pretty cold in the desert and we were literally sick of the cold.

Heading north on paved Stuart Highway, we stopped at the famous Devils Marbles, spectacular round shaped rock formations of red granite scattered over a wide valley.

We enjoyed a peaceful time at a nearby campground. We saw flocks of Galahs, a kind of pink coloured cockatoo, socializing happily. When we finally arrived in Katherine, the Northern Territories third-largest city, we stocked up on provisions; with full storage boxes and fuel tank we ventured out 30 km to Katherine Gorge National Park.

We explored the impressive gorge the Katherine River had cut into the red rock and saw lots of wildlife, like agile wallabies, flying foxes, bowerbirds and different kinds of parrots.

We looked most forward to visiting Kakadu National Park in the north end of the Northern Territories, the locale for the “Crocodile Dundee” films. Yellow Water, a swampy region, has an unbelievable abundance of birds. Here was the place where Crocodile Dundee showed Sue the

journalist his home in the first film. We stayed a few days and saw lots of wading birds, parrots, kingfishers and salt water crocodiles. Since the crocodiles are really very dangerous, signs everywhere warned us away from the water's edge. Apparently, they are very aggressive and love to have a sustaining meal of human flesh.

After Yellow Water, we also wanted to visit the famous Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls, both situated in narrow gorges with abundant vegetation. Both waterfalls are accessible only by 4x4 tracks and include a rather deep water crossing. Though the ford should be smooth, the rangers told us it's about three feet deep and we didn't know how deep we could go without getting water into critical areas of the car. After all, in the Defender, the battery is located under the seat and our storage boxes with food are even lower. Our fears proved unfounded; even with some quite tricky and unstable areas the ford did not challenge the Land Rover.

After visiting another area in Kadadu National Park, Ubirr Rock, with a nice view over wetlands, we left after a week or so and headed towards Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. Here, we hoped to replace our solar panel on the roof tent, which we found out was broken in New Zealand. After searching in New Zealand and other Aussie cities, we finally found one we could use in Darwin.

It was rated at only 40 watts instead of 55–60 watts, but it would be better than nothing. In Darwin we enjoyed the mild climate, internet cafes, a McDonald’s, and the news that the German Soccer National Team had lost the final match against the Spaniards in the European Cup (not so great!)

We finally left Darwin to visit Litchfield National Park, located just a short distance south. Litchfield National Park is often praised as the Jewel of the Northern Territories, but we found it too crowded. Instead, we sought a secluded spot where we could use our newly-mounted solar panel. We headed towards Western Australia. On the way, we couldn’t resist stopping at a roadhouse with a sign reading, “Victoria River Roadhouse. Now Open Under New Wife”. After two days drive and over 500 miles, we finally reached the border of Western Australia. There we camped at Keep River National Park with its astounding beehive shaped rock formations. As fresh meat, fruit and vegetables cannot be carried into Western Australia (fruit fly quarantines) we enjoyed a large barbeque before our border crossing.

Having sucessfully crossed into Western Australia, we headed further west and admired the typical Kimberley scenery, dominated by the bizarre looking boab trees. Near the famed 300 mile Gibb River Road, we headed south towards Bungle Bungle National Park with its famous beehive-shaped rock formations. The 30 mile track to the Bungle Bungles requires four-wheel drive, with lots of river crossings, rocky paths and washboard. After we found a rovers magazine / 11

campsite, first thing we peered under the Rover to see if we still had an engine, all four wheels and all equipment attached to the vehicle. We checked our teeth and bones, too, and found them all in place. The next few days we explored the gorges and canyons of this breathtaking, remote area and before heading further west, we stopped briefly at Windjana Gorge to see freshwater crocodiles.

Then we headed into the city of Broome, which was made famous by Malcolm Douglas of television survial show fame. Having arrived in Broome we visited Cable Beach, famous for its guided camel caravans along the beach at sunset. We spent a nice evening at the beach photographing the camels and just enjoying being there—along with a huge crowd of other people.

From Broome we headed further south inland to visit Karinjini National Park with its deep, spectacular gorges, spring-fed waterholes and unbelievably lush vegetation, all in the middle of the dry desert. For days we explored the narrow gorges with its clear pools, sometimes having to climb and chimney or spider walk to avoid getting wet feet. Spectacular sights awaited us deep down in the earth, and in hindsight we have to say that this is the most amazing place we visited in Australia.

Since the Landy urgently needed an oil change of the motor, the transfer case box, the gear box and the axles, we went to see a Land Rover garage in Karratha, a midsized coastal city in the Pilbara region. After a lot of driving around, we finally asked at the tourist information for directions, only to find out the shop had closed half a year ago. Now we had to drive to the next Land Rover garage in Darwin, about 2000 miles away! Since we wanted to have the original fluids, such as the brake fluid, replaced as recommended by Land Rover, we didn't dare bring the car to just any garage.

Having no other options, we took on the long drive and two days later headed into Broome again. Right on time as it turned out, because Steffen became very ill with tremendous back pain. After a worrisome few hours at the local hospital, it became clear that Steffen suffered from a kidney stone. We left the hospital with painkillers and instructions to drink large quanities of liquids. We were very lucky that this emergency hadn't happened in the middle of nowhere with no doctors in the vicinity.

After resting for two days, we headed out east to cross the remaining 1100 miles through the remote outback to Darwin.

Three days later we arrived in Darwin and found the local Land Rover garage. Happily, they could accomodate our service needs right away; unhappily, our suspicions

about the low bill were confirmed when we discovered that we’d been shortchanged on the service list. Yes, oil and some fluids had been changed out, but axles remained ungreased, our preferred lubricant request had been ignored, and we still had our same old brake fluid. We felt angry, but could do nothing but trust the Land Rover and remain on the lookout for another garage.

By late August, our around-the-world schedule required that we move on quickly. After months traveling in the dusty, arid and semi-arid outback, we looked forward to Queensland's lush and tropical east coast. To get there, we began a 1500 mile trek that took us across a huge stretch of outback. We saw vast swatches of dried-up pastures where cattle foraged for something to eat; what, we couldn't imagine, because we saw nothing but cracked earth and dried-up grass. Towards the end, the drive got a little bit more interesting as we drove through some major mining areas with hills and fields of termite mounds.

Only shortly before Townsville, the scenery changed and got gradually greener and wetter.

We embraced the lush scenery and are now eager to explore the tropical rainforests of Australia's east coast. To be continued...

text: Jeffrey Aronson photos: Nordel Gagnon & Jeffrey Aronson I spent a month away from home in the Conway, NH, area, with my Land Rover, the QE I. On my island town, I’m the only year-round resident with a Land Rover, so I’m used to waiting until summer before other Land Rovers appear on our roads. Traveling to a month’s study to become a Wilderness EMT at the Solo School, I hoped to meet up with other Land Rover enthusiasts.

Posting my travel plans on the Rovers North and Southern New Hampshire Land Rover Club’s forums produced a recommendation that I find the owner of a brewpub called The Moat in North Conway, easy advice for me to accept. The 5 hour ferry ride and drive across Maine into New Hampshire confirmed my worst fears; other than a couple of LR3’s in southern Maine [our state’s only dealership is located there], I saw no other Land Rover on the road.

Daily classes, evening study groups and weekend clinical schedules left little time to drive the Land Rover, but the urge to take a short drive would become overwhelming at times. One sunny but cold Saturday afternoon, I drove to North Conway and saw a sign for a high school fundraising car wash. Since the QE I had last been washed before the winter solstice, a bath seemed like a good idea. The student scrubbers sounded delighted to subject themselves to cold water on a cold day. One junior insisted my car was, “The second one I’ve seen today, and

rovers magazine / 18

I never see one of these!” The second one—I was not lost!

There was another Series Rover in the Conway area.

That brewpub recommendation seemed like a great place to start, so I made a couple of weekend trips to The Moat. There I met Steve Johnson, the owner of The Moat and a Defender 90 with a Tdi implanted under the bonnet. Parking our Rovers in front of the brewpub on the busy road to nearby ski areas drew admiring gazes from passer-bys. Meeting at a popular brewpub also drew enthusiast Dave Sticht from Meredith, NH, who drove up for a Sunday meeting. Dave’s 109” features a coil spring chassis underneath the car, an enhancement he enjoys very much, as well as a custom front bumper, but otherwise, he runs it as a stock vehicle.

Once Land Rovers meet a photo shoot always follows, so we parked our Rovers on a grassy strip next to the brewpub. I noticed a man washing his Discovery Series II nearby, introduced myself and asked if he would permit his Rover to join the photo. Keith Thurber, the owner, agreed and then offered to take our small group off-roading anytime.

Again immersed in classes and field training, I would wonder about that “other” Series Rover. Conway and North Conway are the market towns for the Mt. Washington region; anyone who required any goods or services for sustenance, health, rock climbing or skiing would drive the Above: Nordel Gagnon and Ed Starr [3rd and 4th from R] lead the Lost, who hailed from as far as California and Tanzania.

one main road between the two towns. How come I never saw that other Rover?

A chance meeting with another auto enthusiast set the stage for a momentous afternoon. Every morning it did not snow, I took a long, uphill trek past an old farmhouse whose barn housed a 1950’s pastel green Pontiac. One Saturday afternoon I saw it drive by the Solo School and I followed it up the hill. There I met Bob and Elizabeth Hatch, and Bob happily accepted my request for our two classic cars to meet up. Bob’s 1956 Pontiac, with its straight 8 engine, looked fabulous and benefited from the thousands of miles of driving that Bob has put on the car since its purchase.

As I thanked him and left, he said, “You know, there’s a fellow who has a few Land Rovers just like yours. His name is Gagnon and he lives just a few roads over, in Madison, the next town over the hills.” I couldn’t resist; I jumped into the Rover with fellow student Adam Long and went to search out the “other Rover.” We followed Bob’s directions, found the dirt road and traveled its length.

Mostly we saw woods, some fields, a couple of houses, and views of a lake. We found a sign that read “Gagnon”, but

a gate blocked the lane so we turned around and headed back. We peered down every driveway and suddenly Adam shouted out, “Land Rover!”

I crept slowly down a driveway and saw the fender of one Series Rover, then another and yet another. Two men chatted beside a fourth Land Rover, and just as I decided not to disturb them, I saw one man wave in greeting. As I pulled in he said “Don’t tell me, I know that car!” Nordel Gagnon and his Land Rover friend, Ed Starr, both readers of this magazine, recognized the QE I and welcomed us to Nordel’s home.

After a few weeks of feeling rather alone and lost, reveling in the presence of two rabid enthusiasts lifted any gloom from my extended stay. Whatever plans Nordel had for the afternoon, he dumped them and plied us with hospitality. We met the entire family: Beth, teenagers Allie and Owen, and the dogs Aztec, Scotty and Willy. I toured their handsome lakeside house, a majestic treehouse constructed by Nordel, and wandered the shore of Big Pea Porridge Pond.

Along with Ed’s daily driver, a ’73 Series III 88”, I viewed Nordel’s ’72 Santana 88” [only the second I’ve seen in person], his ’61 Series II-A 88” and his ’73 Series III 88”.

Nordel came across his love for Land Rovers in childhood, (“A neighbor restored cars and had an early Land Rover parked at this house,”) but found it reinforced on his honeymoon 20 years ago. “Beth and I stayed on a sheep farm in New Zealand. The farmer took us on a ride through his fields in a tattered old Land Rover with bald tires. I knew I wanted one again.”

Nordel, a wildlife photographer and conservationist, found his new home in New Hampshire a perfect site for his love of family, loon habitats and Land Rovers. He uses his eye as a photographer to increase awareness of the wonder of birds, and calls himself a “romantic” about Land Rovers. His friend, Ed Starr, is the “mechanical genius who helps to keep my Land Rovers running.” They met just as rovers magazine / 19

we did that April day; “Ed popped in out of nowhere, driving his Series III, and we’ve been friends ever since.”

By the late afternoon, Nordel had already invited me and any interested Solo School students to enjoy an off-road trial ride the following weekend. To my surprise, several students, Eli Kasper, Norwich, VT, Matt Rudyanzky, Trenton, NJ, Adam Long, Petaluma, CA, and Isaac Kintindi from Tanzania, jumped at the chance to ride along. Joined

by Ed Starr and Nordel’s family, we packed into the Rovers for an enjoyable ride through the forests and hill roads in Madison and Eaton, New Hampshire.

On a dry, sunny day these trails were simply genuine green lanes, but the fabulous scenery and mountain vistas relaxed everyone from the stresses of study and clinical time. As is often the case, these local enthusiasts took us places that we would never have traversed if not for their time and energy. For Nordel and Ed, it provided a chance to show non-Rover owners the communal joy and delight brought on by these classic vehicles. The afternoon trail ride ended all too soon. The day was made even more remarkable given that the entire Gagnon family had an educational vacation in Wales planned for that very week; the last thing I could imagine doing before an overseas trip was taking a group of strangers off-roading!

Land Rovers attract interesting people and bring enthusiasts together in fascinating, serendipitous ways.

It takes only two or three enthusiasts driving their Land Rovers to make a day special. Don’t hide yours—there’s probably an enthusiast feeling lost, just waiting to stumble across another Land Rover.

text: Jeffrey B. Aronson

Our local volunteer EMS service stood in need of new EMTs. Desperately, or why else would our director urge me to attend a course at the Solo School in Conway, NH, to become a Wilderness EMT? After a winter of driving the QE I only around the island, the April trip to New Hampshire felt rather inviting.

During the winter I had carefully made a list of all the required maintenance tasks required before departure, and assiduously avoided all of them until the last minute. For example, filing worn-out points instead of replacing them did not eliminate stumbling and bucking under load—a likelihood along the long, hilly roads across Maine into eastern New Hampshire.

Upon arrival, I met the 19 other students taking the month-long course. All were much younger men and women who thrived on working in national parks, fighting forest fires, climbing rock faces, snowboarding instead of skiing, and leading hiking, rafting or wilderness trips. I thought of these as intriguing, exciting endeavors, best sampled by people with a lot of time on their hands.

Over the month the gap between me and my new peers might have become a chasm—except that I had brought my Land Rover.

Quickly the QE I became the vehicle of choice when the group decided to head into Conway or North Conway.

I only had to say, “I’m going into town” and arguments would break out over who would occupy the four rear jump seats. In theory, a Series Land Rover 88” station wagon seats 7 people—I will attest that you can squeeze in more. Men who would go weeks between laundry runs when out in the wilderness suddenly got the urge to do their laundry anytime I headed into town. I recognized that these new friends did not really care for me, they cared for my Land Rover.

They openly admired the timeless elegance of the design, its purposeful appearance, the banjo steering wheel and the scuttle vent knobs, the multiple levers sprouting out from the transmission tunnel. Even on the coldest nights they requested that the rear flap remain rolled up.

The total absence of expected amenities common in contemporary cars and trucks did not bother anyone. rovers magazine / 32

While at school, the Jeep Cherokee owned by Matt Runyanszky, Trenton, NJ, challenged the QE I for automotive attention. Matt—a 20-something rock climber, tattoo aficionado, welder and outdoorsman—had kitted-out his Jeep with a massive lift kit and oversized tires. Skid plates protected the undersides and the steering linkage. It even had the requisite sound system for cruising streets. In appearance, his Jeep looked far more capable than my stock Series Land Rover.

Three days after the course began, as I waited in the dinner line, Matt ran into the cafeteria and shook my shoulder. “I need you right now, man!” I quickly followed him outdoors and down a lane to the school’s entry road.

Like any steep dirt road in New England, this one was lined with a generously deep ditch, into which Matt had inserted a wheel on his Jeep. Unknown to him the ditch had an extra drainage hole right underneath his front wheel; now his Jeep resembled a Labrador retriever sleeping on its side with its legs in the air. With a straight face Matt said, “I need you to pull me out.”

Dumping your Jeep on its side in a ditch, hundreds of miles from home, in full view of a parade of faculty and administration driving by—well, it’s unnerving at best. An awful lot of cellphones clicked and transmitted a lot of photos that early evening. Certainly the thought of further damaging Matt’s car made me feel uneasy. I walked

around his Jeep, looking at pulling angles and directions.

I would have to right it first. With the Jeep on its side, finding the best place to attach my kinetic rope and shackle was a cinch. I reached up to the right rear spring and connected it to my rope with a shackle. I positioned the Rover, selected low range first gear, and pulled sideways on the Jeep. It tumbled over and bounced mightily on its coil springs. While the 6” lift had undoubtedly caused his car to lean wildly and tip over, it also allowed him to back out of the ditch successfully with only a crumpled front fender for damage. The Rover had proven its mettle. Stiff upper lip and all that, I returned to the cafeteria for dinner.

Later that month another glorious moment arose with the arrival of a box from Rovers North. In addition to the requisite parts for an ignition tune-up (points, plugs, condenser, rotor, distributor cap) I had ordered a new hand crank, as I had left behind the one that usually resides in the QE I. A crank makes finding the high spot on the distributor cam lobe much easier than relentlessly tugging on the fan belt.

Many classmates equated my white hair with “senility” or “uselessness”; several mouthed the word “dementia” when I claimed that the Rover could be started with a hand crank. Wisely, I chose a weekend evening when I had been selected as chauffeur to demonstrate this procedure. If successful, I was confident I would not have to purchase my own beers that night.

I turned the key to “on,” pulled out the choke slightly, set the hand throttle a bit high, and inserted the crank into the front pulley. I gently turned the crank clockwise and when I felt compression release at the 3 o'clock position, moved the crank to its lowest point on the arc. Loosely holding the handle, I pulled it up and slid my hand off as it went over the top. The Rover gently throbbed to life as I raised my arms just like champions do in the Olympics.

The “ooh’s” and “ahh’s” that followed validated the Rover’s awesomeness and my own belief that I could leave my wallet at home that night.

Next, on a Sunday morning run to Dunkin’ Donuts, John Kurtz, Minneapolis, MN, and I spotted two women in a new Jeep Wrangler, dangling a stuffed lion out the window. We waved it down and got Kristen Welch, Chester NH, and Jenny Bronson, Henniker, NH, to agree that a lion really belonged on the spare tire of a Land Rover. Their Wrangler looked ordinary beside the Rover.

When the need for another weekend diversion from the month-long course reared up, a quiet afternoon spent performing an ignition tune up and general maintenance on the Rover proved the perfect antidote to excessive studying. For the African instructors and students at the Solo School, the Rover elicited fascinating stories about their lives spent around or through Land Rovers.

The message is, of course, get behind the steering wheel and share your Land Rover with the world at large.

They’re waiting for you!

Actually, so are Jeep owners. When I returned home to the island town in Maine, I found myself in my Rover driving behind our mechanic in his old Jeep Wrangler. As he chugged up a hill he tapped his taillights several times to get my attention. When I waved, he dangled a tow strap out the window, clearly wondering if the QE I needed help getting up the hill. Continuing the pressure, I later found a hand-painted sign, which read “Junk Pile,” staked into the ground in front of the Rover.

David Townend of Yorkshire, England, makes and sells clothes for classic-car buffs. “They get the car, and we supply them with the clothes,” he explained. “People come and say, ‘This is the car, what should I wear?’ Bentley guys wear simple clothes, corduroy trousers and Harris tweed.

Rolls-Royce owners wear suits.”

The question of what to wear in a Series Rover requires complex answers. It’s helpful during rainy weather to consider something totally water repellant; Defender owners might share similar opinions. On snowy, cold winter days, one might suggest, “Everything you own—unless you replace those leaking door seals.”

It has occurred to me that Land Rover advertisements of their day dressed up the models in far different outfits.

Men, women and children wore clean clothes appropriate for the weather implied by the advertisement.

Advertisements from the ‘70s and '80s suffer from some genuinely embarrassing articles of clothing and hairstyles, but they do all look clean—even the workmen!

This got me thinking about the “outfits” I wear while in my Rover. I’m still rankled about the parting shot that Mark Letorney sent my way at a past British Invasion.

When I tried on my then-new Rovers North waxed cotton coat, Mark admonished me—publicly—not to “get it all greasy.” Really!

I wonder what Jeep owners wear in their cars?

Fitted with velocity sensitive valving means the shock will automatically adjust its internal damping to suit driving conditions, the harder you punish them the better they work. On the drive home you’ll really notice the superior ride quality and handling. Sold as set of four.

Defenders were made for adventures, like this trip from Alaska.

My affliction began gradually, and in retrospect at an age too young to be considered a mid-life crisis. First came BMX bikes, then mountain bikes, then rock-climbing, then kayaking—really, anything outdoors would do. I had a serious allergy to pavement.

Then, while driving back to college in 1994, I passed the Land Rover dealership in Santa Barbara and spotted a vehicle unlike any other, slowly revolving on a rotating display. Even from my fleeting vantage point on Highway 101, I could tell that it was overbuilt. Boxy in shape, it was not for everyone, but it was for me.

Over the next 13 years I graduated college, secured and quit my first real job, enrolled at medical school, moved to Oregon for my residency program, got married, and bought a house. But my disease was never in remission, only barely under control. I explored remote parts of Oregon from the saddle of a BMW 650GS dual sport bike.

I found off-road motorbiking a solitary sport; I could not share it with friends, including my wife, Jessie. Then, in the summer of ’07, while riding the BMW down fire roads in the Mt. Hood National Forest, I passed a soft-top Defender. Inside sat a family, including a dog, whizzing by me with wide grins and waving hands. With visions of that boxy car from ’94 spinning through my mind, my disease resurfaced in a full-blown relapse.

After several months of scanning Craigslist and online forums, I found what I was looking for in November ’07— a ’94 Coniston Green soft-top Defender 90, in good condition, with a spare tire mounted on the bonnet. The only hitch was that it was 2,565 miles away, in Alaska.

“Hey, weren’t these vehicles built for adventures?”

I asked myself. I presented the same question in rhetorical form to Jessie. By this point in our marriage I had learned that the greater her skepticism, the better my idea! After a few phone calls to Ross Brudenell, the Defender’s owner, I hatched a plan for us to fly to Anchorage and then drive and ferry the Defender back to Portland.

Not long after came the happy discovery of Jessie’s pregnancy, and for a moment, the best laid plans of….well, you know the rest. Too late—in my mind I had already hit the road through the Yukon in my new Defender. Time for a new plan!

“It was like the Make A Wish Foundation called me,” my dad told me when I met him in the airport in Anchorage. Since being diagnosed with cancer several years prior, he had become somewhat of an armchair-explorer. My mother worried about his driving, and the chemotherapy sometimes exhausted him. But when I called him five days earlier, he didn’t hesitate to accept the offer of an adventure. rovers magazine / 39

Ross and his wife, Jackie, insisted that we stay with them before heading out. Ross was a longtime Rover fanatic who had owned Series Rovers, a Discovery, and most recently the Defender. The next morning after breakfast with Ross and Jackie, we set out for home.

Until this purchase I had never sat in a Defender; it felt right. The simple controls reminded me of the tractor we had as a kid on the family farm. The growl it made as it accelerated never reaffirmed its status as a true utility vehicle. Anchorage disappeared in the rearview mirror and before long, we felt far, far away from civilization.

Late that pitch black afternoon we pulled into Tok, AK. We checked into Fast Eddy’s hotel, the last hotel in this direction on the Al-Can before entering the Yukon. Before going to bed, we plugged the Defender’s block heater into an outlet outside our room.

The next morning we felt the bone chilling -10 F degrees. The Defender’s door seals crackled as I opened the driver’s side. I slipped the key into the ignition, unsure of how this vehicle might react to the cold. It snapped to life instantly, and I let it run while we loaded up. We got some coffee for the road, and left Tok as we had arrived—in the dark.

We had a long day ahead of us, over 450 miles to Haines Junction. The Yukon is bigger than California with a population of less than 35,000 people. If you like wideopen spaces, that’s a fantastic ratio. The Defender never missed a beat as it took us through the desolate landscape.

Just as the needle in the fuel gauge dipped into the red, a lonely outpost would appear in front of us. We’d stop, fuel-up, refill our coffee mugs, and return to the road.

During the hours that passed, my dad reminisced about the adventures he had as a younger man: riding mopeds through Europe, hitchhiking out of Morocco in a Citroen, only to hitchhike back with the driver after the Citroen caught fire and burned to the ground. Then came my turn and I reveled in his elation when I told him of Jessie’s pregnancy.

We stopped in Destruction Bay for lunch and gas. It was already getting dim outside. We wolfed down our food, and hopped back in the Defender for the final leg of the day’s journey. As we had the previous night, we pulled into our destination with the headlights on and the heater blowing full-blast. We had a few beers with the locals that night at the Kluane Park Inn in Haines Junction.

In the morning we left the Al-Can, and headed south on Highway 3 for Haines where we hoped to catch a ferry to Washington. The Al-Can had seemed a thin black line through an otherwise extreme environment, but it only took a few miles of Highway 3 to realize how good we had had it. Our new road rose and fell, twisted and turned, as it led us through frigid valleys between enormous peaks on our way to the coast. Occasionally it disappeared entirely under a layer of fresh snow.

On this road the Defender revealed itself as a true workhorse. The temperature dropped as we climbed in elevation and the snow fell harder and harder. On top of Chilkat Pass, I eased us onto the shoulder to take picture, and what had appeared to be solid footing turned out to be deep, soft snow. The Defender quickly sank up to its axles and listed to the passenger’s side, such that my dad’s door hit snow when he tried to open it.

I got out and immediately sank up to my knees in soft snow. My assessment was that we were in deep trouble.

I got back in and tried to keep a poker face about our predicament. My dad looked at me with the calm of someone who had been in similar situations, and then suggested that I lock the center differential. The center differential light lit up on the dash, and the truck rocked back and forth as I played the clutch. On the fourth or fifth try, I opened the throttle. The engine roared, and the tires found what they were looking for beneath us. We shot back onto the road.

It’s nice to have a partner on adventures, whether it is a friend, a family member, or even a trusty vehicle.

Nothing could stop us now, and we pushed down the pass towards Haines. My dad was having the time of his life. Before we arrived in Haines, we switched seats. He buckled himself in and gave the steering wheel a good shake, before declaring, “Feels sturdy.” He drove us the rest of the way down out of the mountains to the coast.

Later that evening we loaded the Rover onto the M/V Malaspina, a heavy-duty ferry on Alaska’s marine highway system. For the next several days, we watched as a pristine coastline moved passed our stateroom porthole. We made new friends and even celebrated Thanksgiving on board the ship somewhere south of Sitka.

When we finally disembarked in Bellingham, Washington, it felt odd not to drive on packed snow or ice. As planned, I dropped my dad off at the airport in Tacoma, on my way back to Portland. When I returned to the driver’s seat, I was surprised at how much I felt his absence.

I had heard the stories of his adventures a million times before, but it was on this trip that I realized that he and I had never shared an adventure. My daughter, Adina, born in June ’08, has grown like a weed. By her first birthday, I had already detected subtle signs that she, too, suffered from my disease. In the hottest months of summer, she likes nothing better than being buckled into her seat in the back of the topless Defender, with her basset hound, Larry, by her side for a drive around town or to the mountains. Ours must be a hereditary disease, passed down from one generation to the next.

ROVERS ARE IN TEXAS SCARR 2010: Marble Falls,TX

T

his year’s SCARR (South Central Area Rover Rally), held from April 15-18, provided further proof—if any was needed—of Texas hospitality.

Our driving instructions pointed us in a new direction, the Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, TX, but the old tradition of a warm reception for organizers and attendees alike, still felt firmly intact. After a long drive from Vermont in a Defender, that reception meant a great deal to us. In the frigid north, we’re used to receiving grunts and nods at Land Rover events; when we come to SCARR, we’re overwhelmed by the warm greetings. Believe me, we never tire of meeting fans of Rovers North!

Hidden Falls immediately presented itself as a vast playground for lovers of the outdoors: hiking, dirt biking, camping—it had it all. As an off-road event course, the park certainly delivered our hearts' desires. Event drivers confronted a huge network of trails ranging in difficulty for an even wider level of skill than in previous years.

Seasoned adventurers had a new area to explore with surgical precision, and newcomers were given ample education on the beginner trails without risking damage to their Land Rovers.

The new location’s inviting terrain helped event organizers attract a new crop of novice off-roaders. From first-timers to beginning adventurers, the new drivers were welcomed to the SCARR family as learners and left as enthusiasts eager to take their next steps. As we watched these newbie off-roaders, we were reminded why enthusiasts love to challenge their skills whenever possible. We saw the same expressions of thrill, pride and frustration (though rarely acknowledged) in the faces of the new drivers that you’d find high up on the expert trails.

The change in venue did not alter the event’s sense of community, friendship, support, or encouragement for all off-roaders. SCARR still provides a badly-needed vacation from a routine governed by traffic lights and exit signs, yet each iteration becomes something bigger in spirit than it was the year before. As the extended enthusiast family continues to grow in both size and off-road capability, we look forward to the reunion every year.

Taking Shots at SCARR

Driver Profile

Several SCARR attendees took a break from exploring the trails to see if their shooting skills matched their driving abilities. Armed with a rifle, participants took aim at three targets from a range of 100 yards, with the goal to accumulate as many accuracy points as possible. Rovers North’s own Taylor Congleton put up a good effort on the firing line. However it was Dan Chapman who won bragging rights as the best shot with his score of 106 and a Royal Flush on the poker target.

Land Rover enthusiasts recognize that events like SCARR take on a special meaning because of the fascinating people who make up the Land Rover community. Leaving our offices in rural Westford, VT, affords us the opportunity to meet the wide range of enthusiasts who make our lives so entertaining. Here’s a sampling of the great people we met at SCARR.

FROM THE SHOP text: Taylor Congleton

[Taylor Congleton owns and operates T. Congleton Rovers, a full service Land Rover shop, and Overland Corrosion Protection, a Waxoyl protection service for all vehicles, in Westford, VT. Taylor also serves as the Field Technician for Rovers North Fleet Sales –ed.]

Owners of Discovery Series I’s, Defenders and Range Rover Classics have reported instances in which their Rovers shimmy and shake down the road. At times, the shake through the steering wheel is so substantial that it feels as though the front end is “Dancin’ in the street.” This can arise after hitting a pothole, driving across a bridge transition divider on a highway, or a “Vermont Special”—a missing section of road or pavement.

Customers have scared me with their various methods of coping with these issues, such as “If I accelerate rapidly I can sometimes drive through it,” or, “Braking really hard and to the left seems to stop it.” My most frightening advice came from a client who said the problem came rovers magazine / 52

on “Only on the interstate above 60 mph. I mash the brakes, slow down to about 35 mph and then accelerate back into my lane as soon as the shakes stop.”

The proper thing to do if you ever experience a significant wobble is: keep your head about you, check the rear view mirror to determine the level and type of traffic behind you, and then in a controlled fashion bleed off speed and move to the shoulder.

Then get your Rover repaired or do the work yourself.

Obviously you need to take these “quirks” seriously as they indicate significant steering and front suspension wear.

Your Rover’s front axle is kept in position (located) by a few different components, which

through articulation (think wheels on ground) keep the axle attached to the chassis and the body. Your radius arms control vertical flex movement. Imagine swimming through the water with your arms extended in front of you. Your shoulders are the chassis and your fists are the left and right sides of the axle. Your arms can move up and down but in this instance will always be the same distance from your shoulders.

In this respect the axle is jointed to the chassis allowing controlled movement through the radius arms and dampened with rubber bushings. This is vertical suspension travel.

The Panhard rod keeps the axle beneath the vehicle. It’s a solid steel rod attached with rubber

bushings from the axle to the chassis above the axle.

When viewed from a birds eye perspective, it is traveling parallel with the axle. When viewing the car from straight ahead, the Panhard rod can usually be noticed as having the same attitude and angle as the steering drag link traveling from steering arm on driver’s side to ball joint on passenger side.

Curiously, as the axle moves up and down it does not do so in a perfectly vertical fashion. On Range Rover Classics, Discoverys and Defenders, as the axle extends downward it will also be moving slightly to the left. Again, this is because the axle is located vertically through the radius arms

Above: Taylor working on the front end of a Discovery II

which extend back from the axle to body, and the Panhard rod which runs from left to right over the axle.

These (three) fixed mounting points and fixed lengths of steel dictate where and how these axles can move. As you approach a corner, your Rover exerts a tremendous load upon the Panhard rod as the axle wants to follow the road and Rover wants to lean.

Keeping a two-ton Rover on the road, let alone serious off road driving, can wear out the rubber bushings over time.

Most of these bushing-related wobbles can be eliminated through the use of Genuine Land Rover Panhard rod bushings. I do not recommend polyurethane Panhard rod bushings; while I’ve

had success with polyurethane bushings in Land Rovers, they’re inferior to Genuine Parts bushings when used in this application.

Other worn parts contribute to front end shakes and wobbles, but most of the time, Panhard rod bushings prove to be the culprit.

Also, check the steering damper, a sort of horizontal shock absorber for the steering components.

If you require a replacement I recommend Bilstein or Terrafirma steering dampeners. It’s important for safety that you don’t ignore front end shakes or shimmies; once you’ve tackled them, you can relax and enjoy your V-8 meditations while underway.

The red Moab dust blew into my eyes as I squinted to get a clear look at the worn U-joint on my Defender 90’s driveshaft. Changing a U-joint in the wind and sand will be a hassle, but that’s nothing compared to repairing it once it’s failed. I pulled into a less windblown wash and dug out my tools. I chocked the tires, unlocked the center diff and shifted into neutral in both gear boxes.

Rummaging through the wrenches I wondered why I have to change this particular U-joint so often.

When I installed the suspension and spacer plates to lift the D90 almost 4” over stock, I installed custom trailing arms that allowed me to correct the pinion angle of the rear diff. However, that causes the rearmost U-joint to bind when I really flex the suspension. One solution would involve purchasing a custom driveline with a double Cardan Joint and increasing driveshaft flexibility to almost 35 degrees; another would be

I grabbed the 14mm and the 9/16 wrenches to start the removal process. I know improper wrench selection like this can round off these critical nuts and bolts, but in the field, I must use what I have on hand.

I used the 14mm box end to hold the head of the drive flange fastener and the 9/16” to spin off the nut. With SAE fasteners it made sense to keep the flats of the nut from rounding off with the proper wrench end. Since I put them on, I knew the torque

the shaved unit with up to 42 degrees. Yet my stock OE drivelines have provided faithful service for over 15 years such that I don’t mind changing a U-joint once a year.

[Rovers North lift kits for the Defender, Discovery I/II and Range Rover Classic allow for the maximum 2” lift as recommended by Land Rover engineers. Lifting higher significantly changes suspension geometry necessitating a host of additional modifications to avoid subsequent driveline & suspension issues –ed.]

required to loosen them. I got the two facing me on the bottom loose, released the hand brake to allow the shaft to turn over and accessed the other two. I cut a water bottle apart and used the bottom of it to hold the hardware. A chunk of slickrock kept the plastic from getting blown away in the wind.

With the rear-most flange loose, I tied it up with a short piece of rope to help me get at the front flange mounting nuts at the hand brake housing. I used a ¼” drive ratchet with a 6” wobbly extension and a 9/16” 6-point socket to loosen the nuts. Once loosened, I released the hand brake and removed them all easily, rotating the shaft and turning the ratchet in sequence. The shaft came off and I dragged my sandy, windblown butt out from underneath the D90, keeping all the bits and pieces sand free—yeah right!

Now I wished I had a bench vise, but instead I had a 4.5” C-clamp that

Removing the circlip

performed just fine when used with the correct terms, language and in the right tone of voice. I found that if I held my tongue just right and grimaced with my left cheek the job went quicker.

I grabbed the pre-packed and pre-lubed Genuine U-joint out of my spares kit. This one came from Rovers North. The OE needle bearings are bigger and the U-joint seems beefier than the ones I’ve picked up in a pinch from NAPA. I stick with Genuine Parts because the manufacturer has clearly designed them for strength and durability. When I get a new part for my trail repair kit, I always prepare it by cleaning off the shipping grease and pre-lubing it with Lucas Red Grease or similar high temperature, water resistant grease.

Small critical parts like wheel bearing and U-joints tuck away easily into my kit. I have not broken a Genuine Land Rover U-joint; the only U-joint I have ever broken was a fancy Spicer unit I got from some driveshaft company.

After I cleaned out the circlip journals I grabbed the circlip tool and removed those pesky clips from the four journal openings of the shaft and flange. I saved them in case I dropped one of the new ones.

Although I am only changing one U-joint I have marked the flanges and shaft as to the position and direction of the grease Zerks so I didn’t lose the shaft balance, or phasing. The rear step bumper and the receiver shackle bracket served as my work bench and I used a rubber mallet (you could use a soft faced hammer or dead blow) to whack the old U-joint end caps out of the flange. Two of the U-joint journals were in great shape.

The other two were elliptical and scalded, with cracked or missing

needle bearings. Now I am glad I replaced it!

Now came the tricky, sensitive part of this trail fix—installing the new U-joint. Since this exposed the delicate bearing surfaces I kept close watch for blown sand. Working on the floor board of the leeward side of the vehicle, I laid out a couple of clean shop towels. Disassembling the new U-joint, I removed the grease Zerk and placed the pieces on the towel in the positions of removal.

I kept the bearing end caps with the U-joint journals aligned with the Zerk’s positioning on the towel.

I wanted the caps and journals to match the original seating of their maching.

I held the shaft and inserted the bare journals. I aligned a corresponding cap into the flange hole on the outside and used the C-clamp to squeeze the cap into the flange hole and onto the U-joint journal. I made absolutely certain to keep the needles from falling, dirt from entering and the cap from jamming while I screwed the clamp onto the U-joint journal.

I repeated the procedure for the other side. [If the cap starts to go in crooked it

Greasing the U-joint

Removing the U-joint end caps out of the flange

is best to stop early and reset it. Be gentle when “persuading” the caps into place – ed.] I used a socket that fit just inside

the flange journal to press the caps further into the flange and seat both caps tightly. Not too tight mind you— there should be an ever so slight movement from the U-joint. I’ll adjust this once it is all finally assembled.

I grabbed the loose flange, made sure of my Zerk and alignment marks and repeated the installation procedure. The hard part came when I attempted to hold the stupid shaft from flopping around with my leg, arm, foot and a winch bag. I swear

they were all diabolically in cahoots.

I finessed or wrestled both ends in and got the caps to line up and the journals in place. I installed the circlips and with the rubber mallet whacked the shaft so that each of the four caps got pushed outward against the clips. This ensured that the U-joint had enough flex and space for the grease to coat the needles properly.

I shot a bit of grease into both U-joints on the shaft and made sure some came out of each cap. That way I knew that grease is making its way into the needles.

I put on my ancient Sears coveralls over my nice camping clothes and crawled back under the Defender. Like all Land Rover workshop manuals state: “To assemble, reverse the order.” So I installed the handbrake end of the shaft first and then the differential end. I used the hand brake to help secure the shaft so I could get the correct torque on the U-joint fasteners—yep, good ‘n tight and grease the U-joints and the slip yoke one more time to settle it all in.

I cleaned up the tools, repacked the gear, wiped my hands with some extra butt-wipes, checked for any loose trash or parts, removed my wheel chocks and engaged the drive boxes and gears to move the D90 forward a bit. I walk back to recheck the area and smile a big happy face for a job well done! Hey this gives me an idea for a Burke’s Corner article in Rovers Magazine!

Now I just need to find a camping spot for the night, preferably one that is out of the wind… maybe with a fire pit and a nice view of the sunset too.

See you on the trail.

lame this one squarely on the television set.

When I was little, travel and nature shows like Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom planted and nurtured the romance of Land Rovers in me.

I sat cross-legged in front of the box, transfixed by the animals and far off exotic locales. Something else was there—strange, beautiful little boxes on wheels, going anywhere and doing anything. I saw 109’s in safari trim, crossing the African savannah or crawling through deep ruts and mud "trails" in places like Borneo or the jungles of Brazil. The Series Land Rover became, for me, the archetypal vehicle of adventure, exploration, and escape.

They became not just the means to explore but the embodiment of the very ideal of exploration. They came to represent for me some pretty powerful, heady, eye-misting stuff.

As I grew older, as usually happens, my interests expanded and the Series Land Rovers drifted further from my mind, replaced by grad school, work, marriage, and kids. Although drifting away, the dreams never disappeared entirely. Every few years, as I began to get reinterested in cars, especially classic British cars, I'd try to get the lay of the land, but would become dismayed at the prices asked for Series Land Rovers. This cycle continued for years, and eventually I grew to think that I'd never be able to afford one.

To some extent, my interest in the vehicles and the romance and allure of the Series Land Rover was satisfied— though never really fully—by living vicariously through the

rovers magazine / 56

adventures of others. I read Barbara Toy's books, Tim Slessor's "First Overland", Olle Strandberg's "Jambo Means Hello" (in a 1956 first printing that was absolutely mangled by a Post Office sorting machine before being delivered, unapologetically, in a plastic bag), all the British Land Rover magazines, websites, anything I could get my hands on. Still, "never fully" left a deep, lasting hole.

Now, years later, circumstances (and a pretty significant amount of luck or karma, depending on your outlook) has finally brought me to this point: I'm the owner of a Series Landy, a 1973 LHD 88" to be exact. Finally! She's not mint, or anywhere near mint, for that matter; in fact, being essentially a barn find, she's in a pretty sorry state. But, she's mine and that's all that matters. She—my childhood dreams, and the promise of adventure, exploration, and escape—has finally arrived; every time I look into the garage and see her, the completion of that vital circle leaves me dizzy with euphoria and the anticipation of our future together.

Interestingly, I stumbled upon the Landy completely by accident one day. I was surfing the local Craigslist website, looking for something entirely unrelated, and found a listing entitled, "1973 Land Rover - $1." It certainly wasn't $1, but the post grabbed my attention. The owner had become disabled and could no longer complete a planned restoration. The owner hoped to trade the Land Rover for an ATV or a golf cart. After several dozen emails over the span of nearly two months, we finally agreed to a cash price and I had her towed the forty or so miles home.

Having read Practical Classics, Classics Monthly, and a host of similar magazines over the years, I knew the "rules" for buying a classic car (look at several, never buy the first one you find, never buy one sight unseen, never buy someone else's abandoned project, etc.). Of course, I broke every rule. From the moment I saw that first picture on Craigslist, I knew it wasn't really a matter of if I'd buy her, but for how much, when, and, perhaps most importantly, how would I convince my wife? She claims I hoped to convince her on three fundamental points: the Series III 88” was exactly the car I sought, its rarity, and its proximity to our Florida home. Granted, these aren't Duesenbergs or Ferraris, but you see fewer Land Rovers than MG’s or VW Beetles here in Florida. Quite likely, too, the fact that I'd been dreaming of a Series Land Rover for so many years left me in a position to jump blindly on the very first one that became available—it seemed fated for me. Luckily, however, I've come up trumps with the purchase, as she really is in better condition than I could have reasonably expected for the price.

Some of the important bits, like the rear cross-member and the frame itself, appear to be in a really good state, given the fact that she's 37 years old and has spent most of those years in the warm, damp swamp that is Florida.

There's some surface rust, but none of the rust appears to have gone through the frame and none appears to be boiling through from the inside. So, fingers crossed, she'll just need a good cleaning, rust proofing, painting, and a healthy dose of Waxoyl on the inside to sort the frame for years to come. Her Birmabright bodywork is absolutely stunning. There's a patina, of course, and the odd dent here and there echoing some long-ago prang, but the condition is better than I could have hoped for. I'm torn when it comes to restoring this part of her—do I leave the patina, or do I bring her back to showroom new?

I guess I'll just have to listen closely and let the truck tell me what she needs.

The Landy doesn't have either the Zenith-Stromberg or Solex carb that I'd been expecting to find, but rather a Weber 34 ICH 2/350. Given the temperatures in Florida, the likelihood of icing [an occasional problem with this Weber in northern climes –ed.] seems minimal. The rest of the motor isn't quite as promising, but that's part of the adventure, isn't it? The electrical system has been modified in a, well,

unsympathetic manner, and a number of hoses are split or missing altogether. The spark plugs are black and oily, and the oil dipstick smells worryingly of fuel. It could be the carb, or it could be piston rings or any number of other, equally unpleasant horrors. But, then again, it was adventure, exploration, and escape that I wanted, and it seems my Landy is more than willing to provide me with large amounts of each. Whatever happens, I know she'll be here by my side, whispering promises of adventures in far off places without deadlines, departmental meetings, or any of the other "stuff" that eventually snuffs out most childhood dreams. I really couldn't be happier.

Perhaps the best part of this whole experience so far, and confirmation that buying this Land Rover was not just the right thing but quite possibly the only thing to do, is the response of my six-year-old twins. They're beaming more than I am, if that's even possible, and they're already planning out, in their own wonderful, simplistic ways, our first adventure overland.

Living La Vida Boricua text & photos: Nathan Kennedy

[Nathan Kennedy, Minneapolis, MN, is an expedition and nature photographer working on a book of photographs of Puerto Rico.

He shared his off-road training opportunity provided by Caribbean Rovers with us. –ed.]

“As slow as possible, as fast as necessary.” We're all familiar with Bill Burke's constant repetition of this invaluable lesson. These words rang true this February in Puerto Rico, especially last February, when most snowbound Rover enthusiasts planned winter ice events. Ricardo Gonzales and Brenda Soto of Caribbean Rovers invited Bill to teach two days of off-road training classes outside the city of Naguabo for their annual “winter” event. With mountains on one side and lapping ocean waves on the other, this working cattle farm provided the perfect visual setting and a fine place to live the Boricua (Puerto Rican stress-free attitude) while receiving instruction from the Camel Trophy legend.

The 1,500 acre farm with both beach and mountain terrain on a tropical island looked fine for farming—flat and free of obstructions—but Bill Burke needed to “fix” it as an off-road course. Fortunately, Caribbean Rovers had planned a scouting day, complete with a crawler track backhoe. Bill saw things in the land that only someone with his years of experience would consider as “off-road-able.” He chose three main training areas, all of which had been completely ignored by earlier scouting trips. When the heavy equipment arrived he created a driver’s nightmare of articulation and traction control engagement with a series of fifteen holes, swapping from the left side to the right, each separated by the wheelbase of a Defender 110. He constructed a tight trail of blind, twisting, high-centering drop-offs and inclines, and used a natural rain gully formed in the hard terrain by flash flood-style tropical rain runoff.

Each morning the groups met at the Palmas del Mar hotel and resort not far from the farm to go over introductions, basic driving technique, and spotters’ hand signals. Each day’s groups had different personalities: Saturday's group of 15 Land Rovers felt feisty, while Sunday’s nine Land Rovers seemed tamer and more studious. Bill gave each day's group an idea of what was to come, but he wisely kept some of each day's secrets to himself. When pounding tropical rain came through on Sunday, for example, Bill claimed with a straight face that he had planned these extreme conditions as part of the training ordered by Caribbean Rovers. It's still unclear whether or not anyone believed him, but it was clear that the effect of the rain on the unavoidable ... um ... cow pies ... made for interesting driving.

Once the group caravans arrived at the farm they climbed a curving dirt maintenance road up to the highest drivable area. As they climbed, the view changed from thick trees on one side and natural grassy wall on the other to a beautiful view of a plantain farm field in the valley below. Rising past the fields the mountainous backdrop of the El Yunque rainforest (the only rainforest in the United States) stood tall, and as if this wasn't enough to fill the senses, the blue and aqua colors of the ocean shimmered off to the horizon to complete the perfect vista. With the scene set, the off-roading began.

Above top to bottom: Crawler track backhoe setting up the course - Bill Burke going over basic driving techniques. - One of the amazing views from the farm.

The articulation course provided the next challenge. Bill talked about how this part of the day's training can push a driver to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of their style. An obstacle like this doesn't look too intimidating on foot, but from behind the wheel, those holes are deep.

For some of the drivers, this was their first experience feeling the lurch of a teeter-tottering truck as the driver's side front tire dropped deep while the opposite rear climbed high in the air. Bill would let each truck cover two or three of the holes before stopping the driver to talk about their style and how to maximize the use of their truck's traction control system (or lack thereof) off-road.

Each vehicle, and each driver, comes with its own set of positives and negatives. Bill explained how, as a trainer, he uses his insight into each set of circumstances to help a client learn the most from the day. Some clients know they don't have the experience or technique necessary and willingly listen to an instructor's suggestions. Others may or may not actually have good driving skills, but may think they do because of the amount of kit or modifications they've added to their truck. With this type of client, Bill focuses on the trucks and how the driver can use different techniques to maximize its off-road ability. He steers clear of hurting anyone's pride while still helping them to become a better off-road driver. It's that type of insight into both the vehicle and the psychological workings of the brain that make Bill Burke's training such a sought-after event.

Bill covered recovery and recovery gear. He had designated “classroom” areas on the trail to cover rigging for winching, winching technique, rigging a Hi-Lift jack with various accessories, using a jack as a winch, and safely recovering a vehicle with another using a tow strap.

As any good training event should have, there was ample opportunity to use some of these techniques in real-world circumstances when vehicles were caught high-centered or in some other disabling situation. As one vehicle towed another off a stubborn climb it pierced the interior sidewall of one of its tires. Bill used this as the perfect opportunity to demonstrate tire plugging—an unplanned, but very rovers magazine / 60

useful, addition to the training. He used five plugs to repair the tire, and as of the writing of this article, it's still holding air.

The day’s events ended at a one-time employee parking lot of a long-abandoned oceanside prison compound.

With the beautiful aqua water splashing ashore just feet away and the sun setting over the mountains of eastern Puerto Rico, the glow from the last of the day's light struck the old prison church. Fitting indeed, since reaching the end of the trail in a Land Rover is always a spiritual moment. Fitting also because the metaphor comes full circle when we admit that we are all prisoners—prisoners of our love for Land Rovers, prisoners of our love for adventure and the outdoors.

“As slow as possible, as fast as necessary”—the best off-road advice to be sure, and the best way to describe the feeling of spending February in Puerto Rico, in a Land Rover.

sightings

My task as Sightings Editor did not look unusually difficult when the first mail bag arrived on the ferry; it’s when the second mailbag loaded down the ferry so much that the seas washed over the gunwales that I knew this issue would require considerable time.

Movies have used Land Rovers to pump up their appeal since the days of Series I’s. Fans of The Green Zone watched Matt Damon co-star with a Defender 110, the movie on the US-led overthrow of Iraq. Although Damon portrays an American official, he travels about in this fine British product. Steve Eisenberg, Manchester Center, VT, Priscilla Corazon, Columbia, MD, Gregory Duckworth, N. Myrtle Beach, SC, Laura Minner, Carnation, WA, and Richard Thomas, Savannah, GA, noted this oddity.

According to the trailers for Sex in the City 2, Defender SVX’s cavort in the desert dunes of Abu Dubai. Alex Osias, Denver, CO, Nate Rutterbush, Fresno, CA, Joshua O’Neill, Hoboken, NJ, Theodore Casareo, Jersey City, NJ, Adrian Borunda, San Antonio, TX, Jeff Pearl, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, and Chris Richichi felt compelled to watch the ladies relive their consumption-driven lives.

Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT, notes with pride that even though the villain in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo rolled his Discovery 8 times, it still landed square and intact. Rory McDonnell, St. Marys, Ontario, watched Michael Caine in Harry Brown drive around in a Series II-A. Gerald Sapienza, Chesapeake, VA, and Derek Leath watched a Range Rover and a Discovery in The Informant. Jeffrey Pearl, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, saw a Defender 130 shot full of holes in Layer Cake. Faye Dunaway and Mickey Rourke once starred in Barfly, as did a red Series III, according the Mark Maz, Maquoketa, IO, who was, “really not expecting to see a Land Rover in this movie.”

Derek Leath, Frontenac, MO, spotted a Range Rover P-38 in The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Of movies mentioned in earlier issues, Chloe Miller spotted the Series III in The Princess Protection Program. Dan Parrow, Springfield, MA, remembered the Discovery in Volcano. Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA, enjoyed Land Rovers in You Only Live Twice.

Catalogue companies often spice up their offerings with Land Rovers. Boston Proper, a woman’s clothing concern, included two Series Rovers, reports Eric DePetris, Orange Park, FL, and James Dargan, Plymouth, MA. Keith Armstrong and Donald Smith noted the Filson catalogue featured a Defender 130 on safari. Holland & Holland also interested Jeff Foland, Clarksville, OH, with Land Rover on safari. James Pickle, Manchester, ME, found a Series II-A in the F.M Allen catalogue. The Sierra Trading Post catalogue extols its Kelty tents with an LR3, notes Paul Kennington, La Grande, OR, and Ray Herrmann, East Chatham, NY. Mike Archer, Victoria, BC, Canada, noted that a Defender was used in a fashion layout in Flare, a Canadian fashion magazine.

Annie Clark, Telluride, CO, noted a Land Rover in the photo book of The Ski Journal. Jerry Smith, Coos Bay, OR, and Stephen Johnson, Johns Island, SC, found a Series III adorning the pages of foodie bible Bon Appetit. John Camp, Athens, GA, found a nice write-up on Steve Ayers’ Series III in a Haggerty auto insurance mailer. Wernher Wiehman, Kirwin, KS, delighted in reading an article on agronomist Norman Boulaug in Hobby Farmer, complete with his Series I. Popular Mechanics wrote up an LR3 modified for animal photography work, notes Kevin Hawkins, Yukon, OK. Edward Busse, Woodbridge, VA, found the Feb/March 2010 issue of Virginia Sportsman included a great article on the ROAV Mid-Atlantic Rally.

Television ads have only a few seconds to grab your attention, so Land Rovers often appear prominently. Gary Hatch [see Rule #6] rovers magazine / 78

noted that, “even other car companies like Land Rover,” when he spotted a Discovery in the background of a Subaru commercial.

Chevron is back with Land Rovers, saw Jeff Labbe, Twekesbury, Quebec. Nicholas Dover claims a Canadian Kraft mac and cheese commercial includes a toy Defender 110. Danton Cardoso, Kirksville, MO, saw an ad for Symbalta which included a Series I. TV shows use Land Rovers to enhance their ratings, which is why HBO’s “How to Make it in America” includes a Range Rover Sport in one episode, noted Victor Estorga, El Paso, TX. Shawn Chummar, Beaverton, OR, found a Range Rover in “Burn Notice”. Naturally, you’d expect to find a Discovery I in “Speed’s Dangerous Drives”, and Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA, found just that. Randy Kremer, Paramus, NJ, was delighted to see that “Earth Day Play Date” on Nick Jr. would include a Series Rover for Dora and Diego the Explorers. Norman Sturgeon and Joe Donati, Wolcott, VT, saw a Series Rover in an episode of Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” program. Todd Cannatelli also spotted the Discovery II on “House”. Jonathan March, Roanoke, VA, Randy Hopkins, Grass Valley, CA, and Dean Minner, Carnation, VA, also watched a “Mythbusters” episode in which a Range Rover is used to test bulletproofing. Lori Peterson, Acworth, GA, enjoyed seeing a Range Rover in “The New Adventures of Old Christine”.

Jon Winningham, Kansas City, MO, found a Defender 90 NAS in a PBS special on Pluto. Brian Homer, Half Moon Bay, CA, and his 6-year-old son watched “Phineas and Ferb” and delighted in spotting a Series Rover. Lucas Forgue, Seekonk, MA, saw a Defender in Les Stroud’s “Off the Grid”. Peter Land, St. Paul, MN, saw a Defender 90 in an episode of “Planet Mechanics”. Gene Lytle, Boulder Creek, CA, watched the customizers on “Unique” pimp out a Range Rover for a Yankees player. Grant Turpin, Deerfield, NH, noted a Range Rover driven by a real estate broker in HGTV’s “The Property Shop”.

Hannah Thayer, Abingdon, VA, was impressed that the lead in “The Bachelor” chose to woo his lucky date with a Range Rover. Luke Seashore, Chapel Hill, NC, is only 6-years-old, but spotted a “cool Series” Rover in an episode of “Shaun the Sheep”. Andrew Lyles, New York, NY, enjoyed a “Top Gear” episode comparing the expedition qualities of a Range Rover Classic, a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Suzuki model. Guess who won? Jeffrey Austin, Chesapeake, VA, watched the show “Visions of Canada” and noted they included a Range Rover SE parked at the president’s house of the University of Toronto. Jeff also watched “The Weekend Guy” on ION television to find a nice program on the Toronto Area Land Rover club. Joe Sobaski, Coal Valley, IL, enjoyed seeing a Defender 90 in an episode of “Avec Eric”.

Before Jim Cheney was deployed to Afghanistan, he enjoyed an Esquire article online, “The 12 Styles of American Man”. Naturally, the “Woodman” had a Defender 90 in his driveway. Glenn Grove found a sidebar on Series Land Rovers in the online “Cessna Caravan News”. Michael Fisher, Morrisville, PA, found a Series Rover when looking up Sweet Maria’s coffee website. John Bufton, Galveston, TX, found a Series Rover in a magazine article in “Hemmings Motor News”. Col. Paul Duray, Rockville, MD, enjoyed the cover shot of Discovery I from the Mid-Atlantic Rally in Virginia Sportsman, a magazine that usually focuses on, “country estates, fine dining, and highend hunting locales.”

John Belt enjoyed listening to AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top” and spotting a Series Land Rover in their video. Nestor Nicolas, San Pueblo, CA, noted the Black Eyed Peas video “I’ve Got a Feeling” features female partygoers getting out of a Discovery. Matt Joyce,

Chester, MD, enjoyed the thrill of seeing a Land Rover in Luke Bryan’s C&W video “Rain is a Very Good Thing.”

Christian Cartner, Alexandria, VA, enjoyed an Australia News video on a NASA research balloon crash that featured a Discovery. Tom Proctor noted the Land Rovers in the BBC’s coverage of the Iceland volcano ash and its effects on Europe. Lawrence Mott of VT watched a Reuters report on the Sudan that showed a 109 still in use there. Dan Parrow, Springfield, MA, watched Defender Wolfs match up against Humvees on World News Tonight.

We’ve mentioned their Sightings in past issues, but we want to commend Dave Heasley, Errol, NH, Brian Liang, Playa de Rey, CA, Kevin Humphrey, Jonesboro, AR, Stephen Asher, Milton Milnor, Henderson, NC, Ann Williamson, Delanson, NY, Jeff Foland, Clarksville, OH, and David Blanchard, Manakin Sabot, VA, who caught the J.L. Powell catalogue with Land Rovers. “The Ladders” still uses Land Rovers in their ads, notes Jonathan Sellman, Ann Williamson, Delanson, NY, Brad Abel, Old Hickory, TN, Jay Champney, Dean Minner, Carnation, WA, Richard Thomas, Savannah, GA, and William E. Johnson.

Outback Steakhouse loves its Land Rover connection, notes Victor Estorga, El Paso, TX, Ed Graham, Mark Quintel, Kalamazoo, MI, and Todd Cannatelli, Lake Mary, FL. Kevin Humphrey, Jonesboro, AK, enjoyed the T-Rex restaurant with its Land Rover theme look in Kansas City, MO. Spiriva continues its ad campaign including a Land Rover, noted Kevin Himphrey, Jonesboro, AR. David Lane, Darien, CT, Duke Klement, Grass Valley, CA, and Jonathan March, Roanoke, VA, saw a Land Rover in a Verizon ad.

Cars.com ran a major ad campaign starting with the Super Bowl telecast. Sightings have still poured in from that program and we want to credit and thank the following Sighters: Stephen Johnson, Johns Island, SC, Michael Ullman, New Braunsfels, TX, Steve Strickler, Oxford, MS, Pete Thompson, David Blanchard, Manakin Sabot, VA, Peter Hope, Colorado Springs, CO, Bill Bosco, Croley Graham, Franklin, TN, Stephen Sparkes, New York, NY, Deanna Balzer, Hanford, CA, Allen Minner, Carnation, WA, Priscilla Corazon, Shawn Cummar, Beaverton, OR, Dona Stephens Manley, Chapel Hill, NC, Chris Barry, Dan Parrow, Jay Anderson, Jacksonville, FL, Camden McClain, Rochester, NH, Steve Eisenberg, Manchester Center, VT, Joel Cutler, Cape Elizabeth, ME, Alexandra Osias, Denver, CO, Pete Thompson, Crownsville, MD, David Wilson, Moab, UT, Jeb Breece, New York, NY, Greg Sveska, Monument, CO, Kevin Humphrey, Jonesboro, AR, and Neill Thornton, San Diego, CA. Theodore Casareo, Jersey City, NJ, also saw the Defender in the Columbia ad. Dick Newton, Charlestown, RI, reminded us of the 109” in the Boden Spring catalogue. Kudos to Sighters who sent in the Eddie Bauer sightings: Jasper Conn, Snohomish, WA, Tamra Faris, Portland, OR, Cooper Conn, Snohomish, WA, Jay Smith, Seviervile, TN, Mark Kellgren, Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT, Allen de Steiguer, Vashon Island, WA, Britt Holloway, Patty Banaszkiewicz, Centreville, VA, John Riccio, Brian Liang, Playa del Rey, CA, Don Andrews. Other Sighters were just a bit later with the Spiriva ad, thanks to Steve Stricker, Oxford, MS, and Richard Armstrong. Colin Spencer, Kodiak, AK, Nestor Nicholas, San Pablo, CA, and Chris Runnels, Bellingham, WA also caught the Sam Adams beer ad with a Defender.

David Russell also caught the use of Rovers in the PC Connection catalogue.

Dick Newton, Charlestown, RI, enjoyed the 109” on the cover of Virginia Living magazine. Raul Ortiz, Toa Alta, PR, enjoyed the group photo with the Defender in Coastal Living magazine. Ernest Watson, Johnston, RI, wanted to buy the Rand McNally Road Atlas mentioned earlier because of the Rover on the cover.

On Life.com, Rick Serraro of Vermont, Job Weisman, Briarcliff Manor, NY, and Keith Comess, Bellingham, WA, found a great photo of Steve McQueen striding beside a Land Rover. Greg Duckworth, N. Myrtle Beach, NC, enjoyed a You Tube video of MotionMasters and their Land Rovers. Will Swanda, Redmond, WA, spotted a Defender on the Mountain Khakis website.

Dave Nothstein, the Parts Manager of the Land Rover dealer in Colorado Springs, received a promotional postcard from Jeeps Unlimited, which featured—you guessed it—a Series I Land Rover. Even Jeeps need to use Land Rovers in their ads!
