Before going to the bank and converting the landie to loan security, please note that an old MOG is a VERY special vehicle (not car). We have had MOG's for many years in Her Majesty's Armed Forces (The Queen's got hundreds of cars, but only uses the Bentley and the XJ6, -never a MOG). I've been riding in an UNIMOG. It only goes 70km/h and its even more noisy than a diesel landie. The front wheels are where the footwells should have been. The springs are harder than rusty overaged LR springs. On a bumby surface, the rocking chair effect is more distinct than in an 88'' because your are sitting high. Like buying the first LR, drive it as much as possible before signing the check. If you like it and money is no object get an MAN 6x6, and roll the LR on the back of it and take off into the wilderness. When the forest gets dense, roll of the landie and go on. > Personally, it's not my cup of tea as LRs are what get's my blood going. LR is superior when it comes to providing that pi**-boiling feeling when i drive my battered veteran of the mud wars saying "i can go where you can't mr. Mercedes and Lacoste and Ray-Ban". BTW we used to have landies in the defense but switched to Mercedes GD. And the airbase firechiefs use Toy Landcrushers.

They are mounted on the front skirt in the radiator pit, with a steel band through the grille to stabilise. They not only provide sufficient beams, - they also give Lawrence a more "pioneer"-like look. If you want to keep an original LR, get an extra skirt to keep. They are still available and cheap. yours +----------------------------+--------------------------------+ | Soren Vels | 1976 sIII 109" 2.25 petrol | | velssvch@inet.uni-c.dk | "Lawrence of Arabia" | ((|||)) | Royal Danish Air Force | Dansk Land-Rover Klub no. 3564 | ((|||)) | Communications Specialist | DL-RK: Approx. 1000 members. | ((|||)) +----------------------------+--------------------------------+__((|||))______ ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940904 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

It is worth to keep in mind that LR was a professional work vehicle made for agricultural/forestry/military etc environnements. It has only been a lifestyle vehicle for a few years. And therefore, applying safety _devices_ is a fairly new thing. Until about the mid eighties, the far most LR's were registered with public/private organisations and with farmers, vets etc. When ordinary people looks at SUV's, they will of course look at nippers as well. And many of those are just sedan's with bigger wheels and an extra diff. "Airbag" is the selling label these days, and LR would of course like to gain and keep market shares. NOT claiming that market interests is the only reason for LR research into safety!. yours +----------------------------+--------------------------------+ | Soren Vels | 1976 sIII 109" 2.25 petrol | | velssvch@inet.uni-c.dk | "Lawrence of Arabia" | ((|||)) | Royal Danish Air Force | Dansk Land-Rover Klub no. 3564 | ((|||)) | Communications Specialist | DL-RK: Approx. 1000 members. | ((|||)) +----------------------------+--------------------------------+__((|||))______ ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940904 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

They can tie a rope between the front corners and the pigsti on the top to ensure it won't leave the roof and test the crumple-zones of the Volvo driving behind. Bull-bars are not made for hi-speed raming. If you drive in a dense forest for example, you have to look in 20 directions at the same time. I you only look in 19 directions, the bar might save a headlight or the radiator. I read somewhere that bull-bars (kufangere) are now forbidden in Norway. This might create a precedense in Europe.

From: Spenny@aol.com Date: Sat, 03 Sep 94 09:00:55 EDT Subject: Newsgroups I agree with Ben Smith, I don't have regular access to newsgroups, but from what I've seen the signal/noise ratio is unacceptable. I, like Ben, read every message I receive from my fellow LROers, I save many that I think will be of help in the future. I don't want to have to filter anything out, and to this point I haven't seen anything that IMHO needed to be filtered. Secondly, anything other than a mail list will be unavailable to those of us who get our internet from places like compuserve and aol. Spenny Spencer K. C. Norcross Spenny@aol.com Haverhill, Mass.

Subject: Land Rovers and charging rhinos... From: dixon@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (dixon kenner) Date: Sat, 03 Sep 94 22:57:40 -0500 Something that has been discussed before here... I was going through some old issues of the ALROC magazine Transfer Box and came across a small reprint of a Land Rover advert. from the early mid 1060's. In the advert they state that the Land Rover was designed to withstand a charging rhino. Another issue has another advert stating the same thing, the photo showing a 109 Station Wagon in the background, a bull rhino in the foreground. I have not seen reference to fixing them with any simple tools yet. The first ad ran in 1965 (shows a 109 Station Wagon in the photo), there is no date on the second.
