Was talking to an Brit Soldier in Alberta last night, he says that they 
took a number of Mil Spec 90's down to the Rubicon Trail and showed the 
Jeep fraternity how it is really done. Vehcile performed superbly and all 
had a ball.

We should be seeing an article of this in LRO soon I understand.

While sitting at my computer trying to think how I could modify my Ser II
88 for winter a thought came to mind as to why we Ser II people freeze in
our vehicles.  The fan can only pull air through that round hole with the
screen on it that is in the passenger fender.  Unlike American vehicles,
this air is "fresh outside" air going into our cabs.  If the outside air
is -40 then the air across the heater core is -40.  I'd bet it never gets
above freezing before it is pumped into the interior space.  Has anyone
tried getting preheated interior air to re-circulate through the heater
box so the temperature actually goes up each time it passes over the core?
I am installing an auxiliary rear heater from a 1979 GMC VanDura Van in
mine, and it looks and fits like a factory job.  I am putting it on the
wheel box just back of the drivers seat, and I will run the insulated
hoses under the vehicle to the engine bay.  I think it will really make a
difference, especially since it will actually used the interior air
instead of bringing in cold exterior air.  Dave VE4PN

One of these 90's was at the Portland field meet, along with "Norman" the 
owner.  Apparently, he is the 'crew chief' for a collection of over 150 Land 
Rovers stationed in Alberta.  His blue diesel 90" was built from a 1988 90" 
and  parts from 3 different 110's.  He had pictures from the Rubicon trip, 
and needless to say, he is very proud of the LR perfomance compared to the 
Jeeps'.  Beyond the stock military 90" features (2.5 normally aspirated 
diesel), it has a rear diff-lock and a complete new 'uprated' Rancho 
suspension (11" travel in front, 14" travel in rear).  One of his favorite 
comments from the 'Jeepsters' was "It's not fair!  That things a tractor..." 
 A 2nd 90" also went on the trip, and encountered only a 'little' trouble - 
mainly attributed to the lack of a rear diff lock (a fairly stock vehicle 
all around).

I'm looking forward to the article.  Norman's quite a character, and a 
wealth of Land Rover knowledge.

Here's the latest:

	Paul, Rik
	"Land Rover Discovery: Britain's 4x4 specialist goes
	mainstream...sort of" [truck test]
	MOTOR TREND
	Vol. 44, no. 10 (Oct. 1994)

There is an inset box "The current and future Range Rover" which
describes the Pegasus and includes a "spy photo".  According to
rumors, when the Pegasus debuts, the current RR will become known as
"Range Rover Classic".
