SNIP >Seems a bit simpler than carrying a generator... >Rosty >aka John Rostykus - john@data-io.com JohnR - don't these things cost like +800 dollars US? One of them 1400watt petrol generators cost $600 US AND I can use it for other things too like jumpstarting myself or running my microwave, tv/vcr, AC, blender and fridge all year round. :) It is REALLY COLD here (Boston) only a few times a year so if I already have a plugin block warmer and a generator...I can plug in my electric blanket while the block heater does its work... So the question remains - how well do these little generators start in cold weather - say zero to -10 F? Anybody try it? Thanks!

From: Russell Burns <burns@cisco.com> Subject: Re: baby generators Date: Wed, 13 Jul 94 11:00:05 MDT I used to use a small camp stove to pre heat my bug engine in -25f weather while camping. I still carry a stove in my rover. If worse comes to worse, I can burn the rover for a signal fire, and collect on the insurnace when I get home.

From: Dan Chayes <dan@hp8c.nrl.navy.mil> Subject: Used RR Questions Date: Wed, 13 Jul 94 18:03:31 EDT For you Range Rover Owners out there - With the rumor of lower prices of used RRs I test test drove a '90 Country that the dealer wanted $25.9k for - It drove kind of nice, but had a fair amount of body roll - It has been neglected & abused - at only 57k miles and 4 years it was showing more signs of rust than my 11 year old BMW. But then again it did originate in New Jersey, no stereo - and the "ABS" light on the dash did not go off - no records - no owners manual, and the stearing wheel was not on straight, for $15k it might have been an ok purchase. The dealer stuck the magnetic license plate holder to the tail gate - I thought Rangies had alumimium bodies, what gives ? What are the know "problem" areas ? yea - I know lucas electrics What does the "country" package include ? What does the "hunter" package include ? Sometime around the '89 the engine got larger - does any body know when ? Are the older units that underpowered ? What are you RR owners out there getting for mpg ? I checked out the blue book prices '88 avg. retail $14,875 '89 avg. retail $18,625 '90 avg. retail $22,500 Country package add $900 to $2000 Do these seem "inline" of other areas of the country ? I'm in the washington dc area. Do you think a '88/89 RR will still be trundling down the road in 10 years in to the new century ? I'm looking for something to replace my aging BMW 325e w/ 166kmiles, and I'm not at all impressed with the other SUV and the new DISCO's are a still a bit expensive. and the 110s even more so Thanks for the advance for the advice - dan '74 Series III/ 88 undergoing right swivel pin housing overall ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940714 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 94 18:29:11 -0400 From: "Russell G. Dushin" <dushinrg@pr.cyanamid.com> Folks- Bill G. (?) recently wrote in requesting info from our new Italian friend about the availability of parts for his italian made tent that apparently hooks up to his rover. (Sorry, no help here, but.....) Just so happens I was thumbing my way through a campmoor catalog the other night and came across a few "tent-to-auto" attachments made by Eureka (not an entirely disreputable tent maker)....there were several types, some that seemed to hang from the car and one that was free standing but could be attached, with various applications (including for smaller pickups with cabs, jeep cherokees, and cj's). The one I was most interested in was a free standing variety, and for a mere $100 US it boasted of having ample floor space (9' x 9', I think), headroom (over 6'), nylon construction with heavier fabric for the floor and a taffeta-coated fly, bug netting, shock-corded poles, etc...this one fit a cj so I'd expect it'd just do fine on my dear Nigel (an 88) as well. Anyone out there own this tent? Any similar tents? Wanna know real bad 'cause me and the lil' woman just got back from a canoeing trip in canada where we did over 20 km of portaging (x2 trips=40+km loaded and 20km unloaded) in under a week and she wants to take Nigel next time (haven't figured out just how I'll get Nige into a 16' canoe, though). rd/that nige thing. ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940714 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 1994 23:21:00 -0400 From: Andrew Steele <ad158@DAYTON.WRIGHT.EDU> Subject: Misc & Defender $$$ I called phone # previously posted for the Defender 110 w/ 12,000 miles. The damage is $45,000. I asked the woman (her husband was out showing it) why they wanted to sell. She said no reason in particular; they bought it as an investment, and like it enough that they are reconsidering selling it. If Defenders are selling for this much, it would be more likely to find bars of gold nudged up against the wall in my garage. Are they really this much, the little bit of priceing I did in England while visiting there this April was around 20,000 sterling or slightly over 30,000 dollars by my caculations. Karen @ Landrover NA called me back today. She didn't have any more details than she had Friday. Engineering told her they are considering diesels for the US market, but have no dates. Re the Used Range Rover note, (I'm sorry I've forgotten your name) The little bit I've followed prices indicates that Wash DC and NYC area Range Rovers are several dollars cheaper than the ones advertised in the Mid West. I suspect that it's a straight supply and demand ratio, with more Range Rovers available in those markets. [I met several thousand cheaper above -- I still have not figured out the editor on this sytem ... sorry...] Rust on the Range Rover -- I have an 87, purchased used, which has rust just starting to show on welds on the body at the rear doors and the rear window glass hatch is rusting. The dealer did aprox $600 of rust repair at the tail end of the warrenty in 1992 including the above noted rear door area and replacement of two joined areas inside the engine compartment over the front wheel wells. The other rust problem was on the gas tank, enough to cause a leak. Enough said Andrew Dayton Ohio ------------------------------[ <- Message 6 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940714 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Usually, on the freeways, people uses Channel 19 for general use and hailing. Personel conversations then move to more quiet channels. At one point various highways near NY city had different specific channels but that died and everyone tended to 19.
