Here in the Republic of Vermont, what we do is get a bill of sale for the old

vehicle, put plates on new vehicle, put properly completed paperwork in mail
within 24 hours of transaction, and you're legal for 15 days. Proof of
insurance is required (binders are initially adequate). Inspection is
deferred for 15 days from registration. Keep copies of everything on board so
the "map" can be read, if need be. I'm told our laws are somewhat unique, and
that other juristrictions might not understand, but it is indeed legal, and
could be verified via a phone call to Vt DPS, if need be. That's what I did
when I drove back from Michigan recently, and encountered no problems, other
than electrical...
One should not, however, drive an unsafe vehicle just because they can escape
requirements for a few days. It's a fairly stupid thing to do. Just to keep
our roadways safe, we also have 'Faulty Equipment' laws which are certainly
more stringent than inspection regs, and I would *not* want a  Vt.
DMV/DOT/DPS inspector looking over an unsafe vehicle at roadside! Right now
our new vehicle is in 'transition of title', with no sticker (from Michigan),
so we're probably going to get stopped once or twice until we do get
inspected... (which can't happen until we get the paperwork back...)...
I seem to remember Pa. as having quirky inspection laws, where the fine was
actually less for no sticker, than displaying an expired sticker. I guess
they reward you for making their job a bit easier?

HI All,
 I have been wondering if there is a LR register like the MGB, MGA & Others 
have.  I am a member of "The North American MGA Register" for example.  They 
keep track of the MGA VIN numbers for cars found here I the US.  Car in any 
condision are registered.   Anyway being new to LR's I want to do the right
thing so to speak.  Please let me know if there is a LR register out there.

Thanks All.

Having lived in Hamilton, Ontario and California a while myself I see a 
potential point of confusion here.  I had assumed the 107 was in 
Ontario, California rather than the Province.  
Now inquiring minds want to know, where is it? :)

The Forest Rover was built by a company named Roadless Traction, Ltd. From
the pictures I've seen it does look pretty tall.

As far as the "original monster truck" goes, I wouldn't be suprised to learn
that someone did something similar with Model A Fords years ago. Seems like
they were used for just about everything else.

Hi Mike,

	One of those was probably from me....

	First, let me state I'm glad to see you are participating in the list
(time consuming as that is just to read it occaisionally).

	On this advertising thing, I, (who either runs or is subservient to
the list :-) don't have a written policy on 'appropriate commercial use'.
Policies are something that need to be kept up to date, enforced and then
someone figures a way around it and you re-write it.  As you discovered, when
folks think you're out of line, they let you know (Hopefully they do this 
politely...)

	If I recall, you probably posted a list of n vehicles with
descriptions, prices, etc., that is the kind of thing we want to avoid, if
it started to become a trend, then we'd constantly have all these parts and
used car lots sending the list their latest used car list, parts on sale this
week, etc. and as you noticed, folks think that is not appropriate. 

	So that's the down side - too much self promotion  gets you flamed...

	Now, you're paying money to get on the air, probably writing off
part as business costs and spending time building relationships with people
who probably already own a rover, who may or may not purchase another. 

	So what is the upside ?

	Well, hey, these folks whose questions you've been answering, or
others reading the answers, could come to the realization that you are an
OK guy who knows his way around under the bonnet, and could refer potential
buyer to you, or perhaps bring some repair business or whatever your way.

	It is OK to let people know you are available, and invite them to 
contact you regarding present rovers for sale, or that you're breaking a
motor and have some spares, and to contact you for details, etc..

	One way to do this without annoying folks is to put a little more
information in your normal messages.  Instead of simply signing it:

	>       See ya!
	> Mike Smith, East Coast Rover Co.

Nobody should flame you if on your 'normal' postings in discussions, (like
the one you probably spent twenty-plus minutes pounding answers to some random
questions) and at the end of those 30 or 60 (or whatever) line answers
your signature read:

	>       See ya!
	>		 Mike Smith

	> East Coast Rover Co.  		email ecrover@midcoast.com
	> Specializing in Series Land Rover - Sales - Service - Import
	> In Stock: 3 LWB, 4 SWB,  tel xxx yyy zzzz or e-mail for more info

(Think of the signature as your letterhead or business card.)

	By the way, there is some common sense to 'signatures', keep em short,
	five lines of text should be plenty to tell folks who you are, what
	you do and how to contact you.  Of course, you have undoubtedly notice
	much longer 'sigs' with ascii drawings... 

If someone asks for your address or contact info in a public forum, as I
saw in the same digest as your note), you are welcome to reply.

Likewise, if you were to bring up a web site and wanted to announce it, people
shouldn't object to a couple lines stating that, in your normal messages.
(Though, a full page press release would undoubtedly get you flamed :-)
No one should object to knowing that you are out there. 

Some other things that you can do:

	Contact Dixon Kenner or Ben Smith (you've seen their names float
by on the list) and ask them that when they next update the LRO FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions) document, that they include your firm as appropriate (under
sales/service/whatever) with your contact details.

	If you hadn't noticed, I do have a number links to web-pages of 
commerical concerns from the LRO page of pointers:
		 http://WWW.Land-Rover.Team.Net/~majordom/lr/pages.html
	(shadow) http://www.OpenMarket.com/personal/caloccia/lr/pages.html

As I don't know that you have a Web Page, I'll include a mail-to link for
East Coast Rovers, next time I spin the page.

	It isn't like the Rover Owners on the net harbor some animosity
toward all commercial Rover ventures. (Hey, I'm still waiting for some rich
and famous concern to send money to sponsor the mailing list/archives :-)

>I've just bought an 80 LR88 SIII and I would like to know the horse =

>information let me know please.

Here is a somewhat long answer so a seemingly simple question. But I'm trying
to clear up confusion before it begins. OTOH am I curtailing a string of
messages?

The max power and max torque figures for SII/SIIA 2.25L petrol engines are
(from LR sales literature):
7:1 CR  77 bhp at 4250 rpm  124 lb ft at 2500 rpm
8:1 CR  81 bhp at 4250 rpm  127 lb ft at 2500 rpm
These are "Gross" figures. I don't believe there were any significant changes
between late SIIA and SIII 2.25L engines. Around 1972, just before SIII
introduction, a shift was made to "Net" figures which are lower for the same
engine. Series III figures from "The Land Rover Story" are:
7:1 CR  64 bhp at 4250 rpm  114 lb ft at 2500 rpm
8:1 CR  69 bhp at 4250 rpm  117 lb ft at 2500 rpm
I don't have SIII sales literature other than U.S. so would like to know what
was claimed elsewhere in actual LR literature.

"Gross" and "Net" are figures from different SAE engine test procedures. The
"Net" figure is basically as installed in the vehicle with most engine driven
accesories (basically generator and water pump) driven and the vehicle
exhaust system. The "Gross" test procedure was without engine driven
assecories being driven, ignition timing optimized rather than as installed,
and a significant difference allowed in pressure between the intake air
source and exhaust exit. Many American cars and trucks showed dramatic
differences between Gross and Net power. Note the difference was in test
procedure, not in the actual power produced in the vehicle.

I have also seen a DIN test figure of 70 bhp from 1971. I'm not familar with
the DIN test procedure of that time, but believe it was close to the SAE Net
proceedure. 

Since the change from "Gross" to "Net" roughly coincided with the
introduction of emission controls, sometimes the assumption is made that the
actual power output dropped. But late SIIA ads for LRs with emission controls
give the same gross power output. Given the relatively minor changes
introduced in LR engines with emission controls I'd guess the actual power
produced was very similar.

A U.S. ad for SIII doesn't give a power rating, but does give:
8:1 CR                      115 lb ft at 1500 rpm
Torque curves can be quite flat so the difference in speed of peak torque may
be due to a minor "adjustment" in how the point was choosen, which would have
also helped US advertising.
Presumably they felt the power figure was uncompetitive. Unlike Rolls Royce
they did not claim "sufficient".

	A "North American LR Register"?  At this time there is really no
	such beast.  There are however some large regional clubs:

	Bay State Rover Owners Association:  (approx 200 members)
	Blue Ridge Land Rover Club	     (approx 100? members)
	Land Rover Owner Association of America (approx 600 members)
	Ottawa Valley Land Rovers            (approx 140 members)
	Pacific Coast Land Rovers	     (approx 150 members)
	Rover Owners Of Virginia             (approx 130 members)
	Solihull Society (Colorado)          (approx 140 members)

	Plus numerous other smaller clubs.  The FAQ has a list of
	all know international clubs divided by country, their
	size, membership, fees, newsletter & how often it is actually
	published, who to contact, links to known web sites for
	those clubs etc.  The URL is http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/OVLR/
	
	As per VIN's, they are collected on a sporatic basis.  Many people
	do not like to give out these numbers.

Subject: Simple exhaust snorkle

Hi all.  Enjoying the list quite a bit, but turning green with envy as my
Rover first spent four months waiting to get on a boat in Liverpool and has
now spent a month in New Jersey... -But enough about me! :-)
Russel asked about an exhaust snorkle for Nigel.  I remember seeing several,
used for various reasons, that were simply made from standard exhaust parts.

Get a flared or reduced 90 degree bend and a straight piece to run as high
as you like.  Then press them together and onto your tailpipe by hand
as/when needed.  Secure with wire or (or duct tape for short durations) to
whatever point presents itself.  To have these parts serve as convenient
spares as well I would suggest several expanded-to-reduced connectors with
several short sections of exhaust pipe and an extra 90 degree bend to allow
you to fit them all into the smallest space and configure/use them in the
most varied ways.
Don't forget a tin can to secure over your upright exhaust outlet in case of
rain or *deep* wading!

The last numbers may well be DIN test procedure numbers. As I attempted to
explain earlier most of the variation in power and torque figures in the
early '70's was due to differences in test procedures, including the switch
in North America from SAE Gross to SAE Net, rather than differences in actual
engine performance.

So what are the "right" numbers? Which test procedure do you prefer? These
days SAE net and DIN net are almost interchangable.

arrangement  tended to spill gas off road. On road it ran great. The other
drawback is that a funky spacer is required to use the stock oil bath air
cleaner hose, unless you want to use a chrome 4" jobbie from NAPA. Cheers.

 Oh geeeez, I figured maybe someone would take this literally! :)

 Admittedly the current issue is WAY late, caused in part by the
 changeover to a new administration.  But bear with us, we hope to catch
 up with another issue soon and then establish strict publication dates.
 No one will be shortchanged in their membership subscriptions, which if
 need be will be extended.

 On a constructive, participatory note...  The Aluminum Workhorse needs
 support in submission of member articles and photographs, especially
 from all the usually quiet people in the East Coast --Canada, and north,
 mid and south USA.  Most any topic of interest to LROA members is
 welcome.  If you have an idea which will be an epic saga or treatise,
 please notify the Editor ahead of time.  For now send your stuff to
 John Hess (the Pres.!), 1615 Colusa Ave., Davis, CA 95616 USA.

 PS-- We want to hear from RR, Disco, and Defender owners too ;)

I believe that those are not smiles, but grimaces derived from the pain of 
battered kidneys.
