From: Franz Parzefall <franz@max.physiol.med.tu-muenchen.de> Subject: Lucasitis on nonRovers Date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 12:59:12 +0200 (MET DST) Hello all, just a little story for public amusement: Last night I visited my mechanic to have him look after the backlash of my rear diff. When I came there the workshop door was open, so I walked right in. Nobody was visible, but after watching around a bit I discovered Max (the mechanic) lying under the dashboard of a Mini Cooper messing with wires and mumbling unprintable things. It turned out that he had installed a stereo and a CD-changer and when he tried to fix the horn, suddenly nearly all the electrics ceased function. It took him quite a while pulling the two dozen inline fuses this bugger has, to realise that it was just some bad contacts in the fusebox. In the meantime I had a good opportunity to tell some jokes about Sir Lucas. ;-) Think it's a good time to get my LR there now since he said he has his British week in the moment (he also had a MG in the workshop). cu.

I have often considered concocting my own home brew for frame preservation. Has anyone done this? I have contemplated using a mixture of Bar and Chain oil, varsol and paraffin wax. I'm not sure of the proportions, but obviously it would need to be heated to melt and mix the paraffin and thinned enough to spray with low pressure garden sprayer or compressor, yet when cooled should thicken enough to stay in place in temps. above 100 degs. Suggestions on the proportions are welcome. Also, a Chem. E. type friend of mine has offered to analyze, via spectrum analysis in his lab, the contents of Waxoyl but I don't have any. Someone want to send me an ounce for analysis ? I'll then share the info with the list. Since its harder and getting more expensive to get Waxoyl, maybe we can come up with a reasonably priced alternative we can 'brew' at home, much like beer.

You are not *furthering the marque* you are directly antagonising the event coordinator (Myles) to the detriment of the event. how can this further the marque or the future of the event? You don't get it, you don't have to get it because you haven't ever been to a Downeast, you won't ever go to a Downeast, you can afford to destroy a east coast event, because it doesn't have any impact on your California club. Where does the $500 you paid go? Does it buy food for the attendees?, does it help defray the costs of mailings? where does it go, what does it do? My guess it goes into the coffers of the Owls Head Transportation Musuem, and lets you hang a banner someplace. It cost the Musuem *nothing* to have us there, it *makes* money for them. We eat their $3 hotdogs and hamburgers. What do they give us? Parking spaces. It is not The Owls Head Transportation Musuem Land Rover Rally.

LRO-lite found it a tasty morsel as many would have seen. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 14:14:23 -0400 From: "East Coast Rover Co." <ecrover@midcoast.com> Subject: Rallies and stuff Dear all, As ECR is not on the digest anymore and I don't know what the latest scoop is... I thought I'd pass on some info., as much as I know. A bunch of digest readers have called, faxed and emailed stuff to me about the upcoming DownEast Rally. Well here is what I know to help dispell the rumor mill. For reasons brought up many months ago, which we need not get into again as they are solely my personal opinion, ECR decided to not have a hand in the DownEast for 97. We have in turn put our efforts into the July Tea Pond event, and Sept. Stratton-Eustis Off Roadeo for 97. ECR is not sponsoring the Owls Head Museum. We did for 95 and 96, but for 97 we decided we did not need to get involved, we already have more work than we need for the remainder of 97, so sponsorship did not make good business or political sense. The largest communication I have had with the museum was a few emails with the organizer Kevin, asking me... and everyone else in the New England Land Rover scene, if they did want to continue the event for 98, as I guess the museum and Myles have split up, would we be able direct them on where to send press releases, who to contact etc.. As far as I know that was the end of it, and have not spoken with the museum for a month or so. I have had no communication with Myles for about 9 months or so, so I really know nothing as fact about any thing to do with the 97 Rally. Only thing I do know is the museum has made it clear to everyone that they want to keep doing a Land Rover event. I guess that saga will unfold for them next year. Recently we have been getting lots of calls both at the shop and my home phone, as Myles' phone seems to be out. We have informed all callers that the event is still going on, but the only thing we know about is the Sunday day. We then direct them to call Rovers North, as they advertised in their Newsletter that they are the ones who will be helping with the off road day, and should have more information than we do, as we have, and want no part in it. I'm not even sure where it is. So I hope everything is going on as planned, to my knowledge for the people that have called it is NOT cancelled... Friday with Jeff Aronson on the island, Sat. with Myles at his new off road course, Sunday at the Musem for the air and Rover show. Best places I can think of for information would be Rovers North, probably Dixon Kenner, The Old Mass. campground in Lincolnville, or keep trying Myles' phone 207.789.5303 until it gets re-connected. You all may have this covered already, but this is the information as I know it... becasue from the stuff that has been forwarded to me... sounds like people are trying to read a lot more into it. There may be tons of political back stabbing going on, and from the *note from the organizer* I saw from Myles, he obviously thinks there is, and there may be. But fortunately, by the good graces of god... ECR and I don't have anything to do with it for 97. *I'd say I picked a good year to keep ECR out of it!! :-) * However, if you have any questions or want to know anything to do with ECR... best place to get that information would be to call ECR *I welcome all your calls*, don't speculate on what 10 people down the line might think we are doing. If anyone knows of a secondary source of info., since the 789.5303 number isn't working, that I can have the people that are mistakenly calling ECR call, please let me know so I can direct people to the right place for information.

They went :zipping around the southern countryside getting into trouble with the local :(corrupt) law/powers-that-be, and generally saving the day.) Sorry Uncle, but you neglected to mention that the D.O.H. was pure unmitigated crap. Thats it, # umount /soapbox Cheers, Paul. <zymurgy@technologist.com> PS. I think our vehicles are more akin to those featured in 'The Beverly Hillbillies' anyway. And the ahem, "better looking" cast member was at least typecast with more brains and common sense than Daisy Duke. PPS. LR content ? Umm, I was always impressed by the fact the Dukes had a trolley jack in the boot .... no .... sorry .... Definitely time to go home now :-) ------------------------------[ <- Message 24 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970618 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
