I own a coiler ... extensively modified Discovery (see sig line below) and,
until several months ago, I was a member of the Rangie list for several
years. I dropped off of the Rangie list because it was turning into the
"SuperSwamper, nose bleed lift list." It wasn't what I was interested in, so
I dropped off.
I belong to several other lists with varying (usually focussed) topics, most
of which are oriented to Land Rovers of different types. Most of my LRs are
modified to some extent (carbs, parabolics, ACR heads, etc.) so I'm not a
purist.
Except for a few threads recently, this has been everything but the Series
list (Aztecs, French cars, LWB Vs SWB Rangie, Scout, Jeep Cherokee, etc.)
Quite simply, I joined this list so that I could read and continue learning
about Series trucks and offer the occasional bit of advice when appropriate.
How far afield are we going to go here? The list's volume of e-mails is
increasing, but the LR (Series) content is decreasing.
There is a forum out there to satisfy everyone, they just have to seek it
out. I just want to read about Series trucks. If I'm in the wrong forum for
Series trucks, can someone suggest the proper list I should check? Or, is
that too much to ask?
