Historical Info -- my way of life changed so I no longer drive a Land-Rover :-(

 
 
Lineup of 3 Land Rovers

Groenie, Spikkels, White LR

I don't drive a Land-Rover because it's a 4x4. I drive a Land-Rover because it's a way of life.

Driving a Land-Rover is fun. Don't believe me, read this posting from the Land Rover Owner Mailing List. (This should also give you an idea of my definition of 'fun' :-)

The family Land-Rover (A ~1964 SIIa 109" diesel pickup)

[Image] CY7545 pic Long ago, my grandfather needed a car, and for some reason he decided to buy this Land-Rover. I remember that it was cheap, and that they had to pull it with a tractor, a few times around the barn, to get it started.

My father built the hard-top, making it high enough for him to stand up inside. As you can see, he's a bit of a shortshit :-) (I'm 6'2" and my brother is 6'4"-ish)

This is probably my next large LR project - she needs to get a new firewall, be rewired, and the hardtop has to be stripped, welded, galvanised and reassembled.

More here when it happens.
