From: Ian Otty <imo@kerridge.com> Date: Fri, 13 Jun 97 17:05:37 BST Subject: re: Chassis Oiling! I have recently stripped my Series3 to a bare chassis. The vehicle had stood for 3 years unused but the front half of the chassis from the g'box crossmember forward was perfectly preserved by the coating of engine/g'box oil. The back half was badly affected by surface corrosion. Evidence enough of the benefits of oil on the chassis! Its a shame that there isn't any leaking mechanicals further back - it would have saved me a lot of time with a wire brush! My chassis is now gleaming in two coats of hammerite and about to be coated internally with copious amounts of waxoil. How often does the waxoil need to be re-applied?

THey also have a cool short and LWB jeepish/lrish thingy that looks like it was once based on that Russian light 4x4. There are the tatty ex mil versions, along with tarted up models with high gloss paint, light bars and cast aluminum wheels. Funny thing is, they have a split banjo style diff like the old Fords and Chevs did in the 40s.

Just this week I took delivery of my 1997 D90 Alpine White Soft Top #1005...Two questions I have: 1. Does anyone know of any LR owners groups in or around the St. Louis area? I read about two weeks ago in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about a Plaza Motors'(St. Louis' LR Dealer) sponsored LR event in which about fifty owners participated, but there was no mention as to if an owners organization exists and if so, who I need to contact to join. 2. I've been reading from time to time about a Land Rover International magazine. Is this a US based magazine? Does anyone know where an issue could be acquired in the St. Louis area, or if not, a number where I could inquire about maybe starting a subscription? Looking toward many happy years of Rovering...My wife already wants a new Range Rover in the fall (where will it stop ?!!)

From: "T. F. Mills" <tomills@odin.cair.du.edu> Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 21:33:41 +0000 Subject: Liz and Di and Rover Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana were on an African safari, riding in a Range Rover, when they were ambushed by a group of bandits. Being well-read thugs, they immediately recognized the royal ladies. "I know you," the bandit chief said to the Queen, "You're the richest woman in the world. Hand over all your money and be quick about it." "I am terrible sorry," Her Majesty replied. "It is true that I am very wealthy, but I never carry cash on my person. You can search me if you like, but I have nothing to give you." Frustrated, the robber turned to the Princess. "You never go anywhere without dripping with jewelry," he growled. "Hand over all the jewelry before I kill you both." "I am so sorry," said Her Highness, "But this is a safari. It would have been in dreadful taste for me to wear any jewels. You can search me also, but I have nothing to give you either." Growling with frustration and rage, the bandit chief ordered them out of the Rover, loaded it up with his men, and drove off in cloud of dust. After a little while, Princess Diana turned to the Queen by the side of the road and said, "By the way, I happen to know that you always carry a large sum of money with you. How did you save it?" Primly, Queen Elizabeth replied, "Well, I saw the miscreants ahead on the road, and took the opportunity to hid my money in... ahem... a woman's private place, you know." Reaching down she pulled out a roll of banknotes. The Queen continued, "But what about you, my dear? With my own eyes I saw the diamond set you had on this morning. How did you happen to save it?" Blushing a little, Diana confessed "Well, I too saw the robbers lying in wait, and had enough warning to hide my jewelry in ... umm ... a woman's private place." Reaching down, she pulled out a handful of sparkling gemstones, and fastened them back in place. The two ladies stood in silence for a few moments. Then the Queen remarked, "Pity Fergie isn't here. We might have saved the Rover." T.F.

Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 23:43:37 +0100 From: Sam Caloccia <scaloccia@worldnet.att.net> Subject: bobeck writes: How'd you get to be a sponsor? Well, Dave, that is a good question, you'd think there would at least be some East Coast group who'd pick up the event, but I guess when it comes to eager sponsors perhaps money is more persuasive than attitude (or is it fools rush in where ...) I do want to say that if the rumblings from the Maine woods are anything near the truth, from what I heard, I really couldn't blame the museam for seeking other sponsors, though it is sad that this DownEast Debacle '97 is in no small part due to the behaviour of the person who worked so hard all these years to create the event. And since Dixon's posting of Myles' note - without any contact info, and Myles appearing to have dropped out of site (disconnected phone, etc.), I would think that those who are planning to attend Myles' version of the '97 DownEast have more questions than answers at the moment. I personally won't be attending (not withstanding the DIS-invitation to Range Rover Owners), I have a longer standing commitment to attend the two day Jazz Festival at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. [That said, maybe we'll start EROS at the SPAC Jazz Festival ? look for me in a large patch of folks camped out high on the hill just to the right of the second ramp meets the hill (second from stage left) and remember, cans, bottles, alcohol & marshmellows are on the banned list at SPAC, but that's another story :-) - bring sunscreen, food, especially drink, weather gear, and anything else you might need while there from 11am to midnight...swim in the stream, drink from Charlie Spring if you dare !] -Bill (writing from my dad's browser) wpc@caloccia.net debacle: a general breakup or route; sudden overthrow or collapse (random house, american college dictionary, 1960) ------------------------------[ <- Message 17 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970614 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
