Subject: Mid-Atlantic Rally
Everything is coming together for the rally...and for those who came in
late, it's the Columbus Day weekend, October 8-10 in central Virginia.
E-mail me directly if you want further directions/info, as I'm in digest
mode right now.
Got a nifty item that's going on the silent auction table at the
event...the 8,000# model of the "Pull-Pal" (over $200) that has been
donated to us. For those who haven't seen this wondrous invention, its
for all those times that a tree or other secure point is beyond the reach
of your winch cable. (Trees have a nasty habit of growing in the wrong
place!) The concept is similar to the Scottish-made "Bruce" anchor if you
do any sailing, except it comes apart and folds flat.
The Pull-Pal people also have a nifty attachment for the campers out
there...a 12 v. pump and heat-exchanger so your Rover can power/heat a
shower! Water source can be a stream, bucket, lake or river. A clever
device. What will they think of next?!?

Subject: The Green Rover status report
Well, I just got the news from Scotty about my Transmission. The lay shaft made
a clean break and my gears were not damaged (I like to think it was because I
did not try to use 1->3rd after I became aware of the problem). he said you can
see a bubble in the metal at the break. All it will take is a new lay shaft &
its bearings to be on the road again.
Brad and Scotty are going to drop the engine's oil pan together to try to find
my engine noise. My worst fear is that a local Land Rover owner may have
deliberatly sabatoged the engine by pouring some dirt down the oil filler pipe
as I was doing the final assembly of the engine that Scotty built for me. He
was trying to force me to give him the sides of my hard top (which is why it is
currently locked to the body) while the engine rebuild was in its final stages.
There were multiple times I know he was at my house messing around with my car
while I was at work (Luckally I live in a place where neighbors notice strangers
driving by) and he was not good at leaving things as he found them.
I have been finding sand like grit in my oil filter housing during oil changes.
The engine, while having good oil pressure, has sounded noisy since it was first
started up. It continued to be noisy after the exhaust system was attached.
I hope it isn't so I hope it isn't so I hope it isn't so I hope it isn't so

Bet that subject line got your attention! See news clipping below.
In case anyone missed it, Branson's life was preserved by his RR, and quite
appropriately he has decided that what's good enough for him, is good enough for
his customers. Fly Virgin!

-- Randy Parker, rparker@world.std.com, 75300.2654@compuserve.com
LANHAM, Md., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The next time you fly to London, you could
find yourself being whisked from the airport to your hotel or country estate in
a Range Rover, Britain's finest four-wheel drive vehicle.
Virgin Atlantic Airlines has announced that it will purchase 640 Range Rovers
over the next two years to replace the company's current limousine fleet. The
luxurious sport utility vehicles, world renowned for their superior on- and
off-road handling, will be used in the airline's door-to-door transfer service,
available to all Upper (or Business) Class passengers flying into or out of
London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The contract is valued at nearly $40
million.
"Over the last two years our business market sales have been increasing
steadily. The Virgin Atlantic agreement underlines our commitment and success
in this area," said John Towers, Chief Executive of Land Rover's parent company,
Rover Group. "Virgin's Range Rover chauffeur service is unique within the
aviation industry. To ensure the best possible service Land Rover will train
every driver in order that they are aware of the vehicle's full potential both
on and off the road," he added.
Virgin Atlantic Chairman Richard Branson, a Range Rover owner himself, chose
Range Rovers for the company fleet as a result of his first-hand experience with
the vehicle's safety, quality, durability and comfort. "We were the first
airline to offer limo transfers to business passengers, so it is only right that
we should be the first to offer luxury Range Rovers for this purpose."

SUBJECT: Discovery - changed flat tire.
I was on my way to the local Land Rover dealer to have them appraise my
car as a possible trade in on a Discovery on order, when I see a
Discovery drive by in the direction that I'm waiting to turn to. I say to
myself "WOW! I hope I can catch up to it"! Well, I got my wish, because
just 1/2 mile down the road I see that it pulled over, and a woman was
exiting the vehicle. Naturally, I pull over to offer help (with plans to
talk about the Discovery). I didn't even notice the flat tire that the
woman had, but then offered to help and change the tire for her after
she pointed it out. We talked the whole time I changed the tire, and
then some, totaling around 20-25 minutes. The whole time, she never even
turned the vehicle off! Anyway, she LOVED the vehicle, and only had one
complaint about it, that the drivers door mirror keeps falling. She said
something about a ball joint that holds it on doesn't hold it well
enough. Also, that it takes forever to get parts, and that the vehicle
is very hot. (We live in Phoenix Arizona, 120+ degrees in summer (45
Celsius).) I noticed that she had the dual air conditioner, and asked if
she ever uses the rear air. She said "no" that it'd probably use too
much fuel. (I don't think so, since the same compressor pumps throughout
the whole system, but I couldn't convince her of that.) Then after I
removed the tire and looked for the puncture or tire damage, she noticed
the tire was no longer "flat" and asked where the flat spot was. I
managed to refrain myself from laughing out loud while I explained about
the weight of the vehicle not present on the removed tire. (No, she
wasn't blonde! ;-) )
I thought you might enjoy the ignorance (oh, poor choice of words, how
about "innocence") of her and the "flat" tire, as well as empathize with
my summarization: What a SHAME that such a great vehicle will probably
never see anything less than a paved road! Makes me want to cry!
BTW, the vehicle had leather, automatic, dual sunroofs, dual air, jump
seats, CD changer, rino bars, tinted windows, and tail light protectors.
Have fun!

I too think they can look cool, and am genuinely curious about whether they are useful. Last week I lost a rear bumper end cap on a trail near Mono Lake; however I suppose none of the available attachments would have prevented that. With brush and bushes, I find most of the damage is scratches along the side of the vehicle; I am not sure how brush bars help with this unless they can smash the brush and render it harmless before it gets alongside! I can see that side bars could protect the rocker panel and trim, but at the expense of ground clearance. I'm open to opinion Cheers John Brabyn Mill Valley California 89 RR ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940917 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
