That's Cheap! Even if you add in the 145 pounds shipping, that comes to only 34 pounds per rim, which is like 50 USD each. I think I'm going to have to look into this myself. I don't care too much about the color or galvanizing them, and I live close to SFO (I can walk there from my current client's office), so this sounds great. There is also about two blocks from work a place that sells used tires. They have a contract such that they get tires off of totaled cars and the like. So virtually brand new tires off of some little rich kid's rice burner will cost 50 - 60 USD. (I was looking at a couple of Dunlop Radial Rovers they had for $60.) Now I just have to decide: Do I want new rims (and of course I'd have to order other miscellaneous parts at the same time), or a new voice mail system, or. . . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn@crl.com that none but madmen know."

The one's I've heard of are: Robert Wagner (Too cool not to) Robin Williams (Defender, but used to drive an 88 before Mork) Janet Jackson (Gift from agent or someone) John Rhys Davies (According to Sandy Grice) I haven't personally confirmed any of these, but they come from good sources. Robert Wagner's I heard about because of a news story wherein it was stolen and he chased the guy to get it back. (I think with the cops.) My roommate (Who keeps up on the entertainment world) spotted a story about Janet Jackson's gift. I think it was a Disco, but I'm not sure. A Rover owner in The City saw two guys in a Defender and went to talk to them about it and the LROA and after a while, got this feeling that he knew the driver. He then realized that it was Robin Williams. He told the story to Scotty who passsed it on to me.

Date: Sun, 21 Aug 1994 21:18:05 -0500 (CDT) From: David John Place <umplace@CC.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: Land Rover Camping Someone described the tent track as a "P" on its side with the "P" part open so a rope could be pulled through it. The stuff is cheap, and it can be bent to follow the roofline of the Rover. I presently have a green canvas tarp with red and white fringe on it that I use for the tent part. With the track on the side of the safari roof, and I am 5' 11", I can stand up straight. I use tent poles that nest inside each other, and they have a spring loaded catch to keep them from nesting when in use. I have four ropes with wooden toggles run out to pegs, and this make a great cover. The best setup however is to use a screened room from a 13' travel trailer attached to this track. It has a "sod cloth" and screen to cover the area under the Rover so no mosquitoes can get in. It is great for camping in the Canadian bush. I presently use a ground pad just thick enough to lift my hips off the ground, but later this fall, I am going to go wild and get a military cot of the folding variety and do it up right. Cheers.

Date: Sun, 21 Aug 1994 10:34:21 -0700 From: Roger Sinasohn <sinasohn@crl.com> Subject: Re: POLL- LR camping I've given Brad an article on my setup, and would like to follow up with articles on other folks' setups, so this thread is of great interest to me. In any case, here's how we had things set up for this last vacation: I have a "Blevins Bed" that I built (badly) from plywood. This consists of a box kite-like frame that is (supposedly) the same height as the wheel arch-bench things. There are four compartments in this framework, within which are stored my clothes, cooking/eating utensils, laptop computer & supplies, and whatever other miscellaneous items will fit. I intend to add doors and bottom board to enclose these compartments at some point. On top of this framework going all the way to the starboard side of the rover is a piece of plywood. Another sits on top of this during the day, and then slides over the other half of the load bed at night to make a two-person bed. On the port side I've got a pair of cabinets that fit at the forward end of the wheel-arch to hold foodstuffs and such. Next to that is a 5gallon propane tank like used on barbeques and RV's. Finally, at the very back is a smallish cooler. For general on-road use, this all fits in securely, and only one bolt is used to secure the cabinet. I'm going to build another cabinet that will hold a smaller (2-1/2 gallon?) propane tank that I picked up. The propane stove goes on top of the cabinet (until you start moving at which point it promptly falls off.) I'm going to add some moulding and magnets to hold it in place, and yet allow for easy removal. Rachel's clothes and such went into a big duffel bag and a daypack that sat on the bed during the day, and the front seats at night. Table and chairs got strapped to the roof rack as did the portable toilet (once we realized that we wouldn't be using it at rest areas and RV parks.) I also picked up two boxes for the roof rack to hold the clothes, teacher books, and other souvenirs Rachel picked up along the way. Tools and spares go either behind the seats (with the first aid kit and fire extinguisher) or in a storage box built into the starboard side wheel bench just ahead of the wheel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn@crl.com that none but madmen know."

I haven't subscribed yet, so I don't know what it's like. "Discussions about the present and future direction of electric vehicles. Not intended as a forum for comparing electric vehicles to other vehicles." To subscribe, E-mail listserv@sjsuvm1.sjsu.edu and put in your message "SUBSCRIBE EV <your full name>" There is also the Sacramento Electrical Vehicle Assn. They meet the 2nd saturday of each month at SMUD (Sacto Municipal Utility Distric) offices at 6201 S. Street from 10 - 12. Their address is 6837 Cunningham Way, Sacramento, Ca 95828. Phone # is (916) 318-4236. Also, there is a company doing electric conversions for a living in Sacto. They're Drive Electric, and can be reached at 1-916-442-5110. They're where I got most of my info. Their cost of parts is around $7000, with a total conversion being about $12,000. They use lead acid batteries, and the battery weight is about twice that of a traditional engine. (So about the same as a LR 4-cyl?) They can do top speeds of 65, 75, 85, or 95mph, with most being 75mph. They have a range of about 60 miles, and charge (fully) in 8 = 10 hours. They hook into the existing transmission and a standard transmission works better than an automatic. There is a tax incentive... Calif. will take up to $1000 off what you owe if you spend that much on an electric conversion. The feds will allow a deduction of 10% of what you put into an electric conversion. (I'm not sure if that includes the cost of the car or just the conversion.) SMUD (I don't have their number, but info in Sacto will -- ask for the electric vehicle operations number) generally has a booth at the state fair in Sacto. (August 19 - Sept. something, I think, and a lot of fun.) I would love to hear about your experiences!

But on the other hand, why bother feeding a land rover if you're not going to make use of it? A bed, some cabinets, a coleman stove, even a cooler is not too much if you've got room. I was even thinking of rigging up a shower of sorts. I see the Rover as more like a sailboat than a backpack. It's like a miniature home. I don't need the 19" color TV, microwave, and flush toilets that a lot of RV's have, but I do like a nice, dry place to sleep. That makes it easier to stay out where there are more than 3 stars in the sky longer. Mind you, if I'm traveling alone, most of the storage space remains empty. Just because there's more space than there is stuff I want to bring. My idea of luxury is a *fork* in addition to the chopsticks! While I'm thinking of it, what do I carry, besides tools and spares? * First aid kit (don't leave home without it) * Plate (maybe two) * two cups (one for soup, one for tea/wine/milk/etc.) * Fork/spoon/chopsticks * Kershaw straight knife (One of the best things I've ever bought) * small can opener * frying pan * sauce pan * Clothes (usually, one *small* duffel bag -- another best buy: $5 and who cares about the indiana horses or whatever team is on it!) * Coleman 2 burner stove (Price Club = $50?) * Propane tank (Price Club = $15) * 1 std coleman canister (just in case) * Coleman propane lantern (Price club = $30) * Propane pipe (attaches to tank, lantern sits on top, connectors for stove) * 5 gallon bottle of water * water pump for 5 gallon bottle (Orchard Supply Hardware) * cooler * mattress pad (think this is gonna get thicker - my back is killing me) * Coleman Sleeping bag (unless it's gonna get *real* cold, then I bring a real sleeping bag) * Fanny pack with mini maglite, pouch for camera, water bottle bag, and aforementioned Kershaw * Water bottle * Camera * spare film * CB Radio * Big box of kleenex (Sinasohn nose) * 12v spotlight * Cellular phone Optional equipment: * Atari Lynx video game system (great for the passenger on long trips) * Handheld color TV & powered antenna (Rachel wanted to watch some football game once on the way to Reno. Just before the big LA Earthquake) * Laptop computer * 12v Inverter (to power the Laptop) * Radio * portable toilet (if camping away from restrooms and Rachel's along) * Folding table (for playing poker) * Folding chairs That's about it.

At normal elevation (sea level, around The City,) I can cruise at 65 - 70 mph quite comfortably in 4th OD, with the engine at just around 3000 rpms. I do have the Toro overdrive, though.
