I was in the process of dismantling my SIII in our driveway in the middle
of a Canadian winter, when a guy walking by stopped to talk to me. It
seems he works for one of the Toronto LR Dealers. He seemed so impressed
with my enthusiasm (insanity) for Land Rovers that he went home a got me a
cap! He also invited me to go offroading when he takes clients next time.
They can't all be bad....
