hahaha, I just put one of those pine scent leave things on my rear view
mirror last week. Why? Because it's always pine fresh! I have no roof, no
hardtop, no softtop. It's these things that make owning a Series great!

What!!! You tryin' to ruin the reputation of us Series owners?? Next your
going to wax the bugga and hang one of those perfumey things from the
mirror!! Bad Form!! Official Rover Owner's Manual, that's the manual for
the owner, not the truck, says "Hose off anything that could be home for
seeds, wouldn't want to start a garden, and put away wet".
