letters to the editor
Dear Rovers North,
I really wanted to extend my thanks to Rovers North for
sending Matt Martin and Taylor Congleton to the 2010 SCARR
event. I have driven 4-wheel drives for the last 23 years, but
only purchased my first Land Rover a little over 14 months
ago. Even though I served 8 years in the USMC and have
participated in joint exercises with foreign branches of service
where their Land Rover was our Hummer, I still did not believe
they were that capable of a vehicle due to my own ignorance
of their off-road prowess.
Over the last 12 months I have gained more confidence in
my Discovery Series II, but it really wasn't until Taylor and Matt
urged me on SCARR to tackle some obstacles I normally would
not have, due to my inexperience with the vehicle, that I
realized how strong, sturdy, and sure-footed these vehicles are.
Taylor, by far the best spotter I have ever had guide me (I also
heard this from several other members).
Over the last 20 years I have been a Staff NCO in the
Marine Corps, a VP in a technology firm, a small business
owner and the GM/COO for a small business. During this time
I have had the opportunity to experience a multitude of
employee personalities and have learned what traits to look for
in them. I can tell you with full confidence after having
witnessed their professionalism I would not hesitate for an
instance to have both Taylor and Matt on my team.
In short and in my personal opinion, both Matt and Taylor
did an outstanding job representing Rovers North at SCARR
and I for one sincerely appreciate the fact that they were on
hand to help guide, teach, and share their knowledge with all
of us.
Regards,
Peter Kallodaychsak

hey, why not suggest Rovers North send the Editor, too? -ed.]
Dear Rovers North,
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the new
Exmoor Canvas Hood I just received. I have been driving Land
Rovers for 30 years and have purchased many hoods, some
Genuine, some not, but this is the best one in fit and quality
that I have seen. Thanks for providing these Exmoor products
for a very reasonable price.

Dear Rovers North,
The Carolina Rover Owners Club Ninth Annual Uwharrie Safari
was a great success. The event had over 200 participants with
84 Land Rovers. The rally would not have been so successful
without the wonderful, generous support from you as a
sponsor. We would like to thank you for donating the gift
certificates, equipment bag, hats, shirts and of course, the
beverage holders (people expect these every year now).
On behalf of all the officers at CROC, we thank you and
look forward to building a stronger relationship and working
with you next year.
Scot Haberman, President
Carolina Rover Owners Club
Concord, NC
[The Uwharrie Safari has become recognized nationally as an
outstanding event, and we wish you every success in your
tenth year –ed.]
Dear Rovers North,
I would like to thank you for your generous support of our
Women’s Day Run of the Pacific Coast Rover Club. Once again,
we enjoyed a terrific day, even though the weather differed
dramatically from the 60 degree, clear skies of the scouting
run day. I have to tell you that everyone got stuck at some
point and after an hour long session of extrication and turning
around, we declared it time to head to the winery.
Pamela Petroff

[The PCRC has a long history of entertaining and challenging
off-road events, and Rovers North is happy to support your efforts
to get more enthusiasts interested in them. Keep up the great
work –ed].
Dear Rovers North,
The new cover on the Rovers Magazine was very striking. Rover
is certainly the vehicle for all seasons.
My thanks to you for staying true to your mission. Land
Rover is in a class of its own; it stays there, in part, because of
folks like you all. Thanks, Mark, as all of us depend on our
Rovers. Thanks for your help in keeping them rolling down the
road.

Dear Rovers North,
During the planning of my wedding
to my wife Kerry Johnson on
September 12, 2009, in Temecula,
CA, I wanted to somehow figure out
a way to get my Defender 90 in.
I was able to convince Kerry to be
driven into the reception party in the
back of the Defender! Everyone
thought it was a great way to make
our big entrance and my wife was so
happy that we ended up doing it! It
will always be a great memory to
have, as well as the pictures to
remember it. I wanted to send this
picture along to share with you and
was hopeful that you would be able
to include it in one of your upcoming
magazine publications.
Thanks so much!
Ryan Johnson, 1997 Defender 90 Owner - #715
Hermosa Beach, CA
[Congratulations, Ryan and Kerry, on your wise decision to include
your Defender 90 in the wedding party. Feel free to invite the
Editor to future anniversary parties in sunny California –ed.]

rovers magazine / 6

International travelers fill the internet with advice on shipping Land
Rovers between continents, but even those online warnings did not
prepare us for the delays upon arriving in Australia from New
Zealand. We landed in Melbourne, promptly bought a GPS to help
us navigate around the city and find our custom agent’s office, and
waited, waited and waited for the Landy.
rovers magazine / 7

ur beloved Defender 110 arrived three
weeks later than promised, and sat for
nearly another week on a wharf waiting
to get into the quarantine area.
Depressed and angry, we almost decided
to have the Rover’s container loaded on a ship straight to
Los Angeles, when the express agent finally called. On May
16, we finally could meet customs and quarantine officers
at the quarantine depot to have the Landy cleared—if there
weren't a bunch of flies coming out, that is....
As we arrived, we couldn't believe our eyes. This was a
quarantine depot? It looked like a totally open area. The
Landy sat out of its container coated in a thick layer of
dust! It turned out the very nice customs officer paid far
more attention to the Landy itself than the dirt
(once again). Happy not to find foreign soil in any of the
critical places, the agent released our Land Rover. Still, yet
another missing piece of paper delayed us; our express
agent hemmed and hawed, and finally, we drove off
with the Rover. Cross this “custom service” off our
recommendation list!
We set our sights on our first destination in Victoria,
the famous Great Ocean Road with the 12 Apostles as its
main attraction. A fine temperate rainforest cheered us
along the Great Ocean Road, as did waterfalls and lush
vegetation with lots of ferns along the trails in Great
Otway National Park. Confronting rainy, cold weather, we
moved onto the Red Center via Adelaide, Port Augusta,
Cooper Peedy and Erludna. Despite their tacky, expensive
amenities, Ayer’s Rock, Australia's most famous landmark,
and The Olgas, were something special. On our way to
Kings Canyon we then saw our first wild-roaming camel,
former beasts of burden introduced generations ago,
allowed to live undomesticated. Our next destination was
Rainbow Valley, a very colourful cliff with a dried-up clay
pan and sand dunes at its base. We chose a very nice
campsite right there and settled in, enjoying the quiet
and solitude.
In early June we reached Alice Springs, the biggest and
only city in the Red Center. After almost a month’s travel,
we could enjoy the luxury of a supermarket and a Land
Rover garage; our radiator had sprung a leak. The garage
couldn’t repair the aluminum radiator, so they ordered it
by air transport from Melbourne. It took a week for us to
purchase the only Defender radiator in Australia!
rovers magazine / 8

While waiting for the radiator, we ventured west out of
Alice Springs into West MacDonnell National Park. There,
we visited several beautiful gorges and permanent
waterholes which provide a precious habitat for lots of
parrots and other birds. Two days out there, something
very unusal happened: it rained for a whole day! The
natives seemed thrilled, but we wondered, why all this rain
on the earth’s driest continent? A day later, it became
sunny again and we ventured into Serpentine Gorge. We
locked the Land Rover (so we thought) and hiked off. On
the way, we remembered that we forgot our little pack
with all the important documents and money. Nobody
would steal our pack in the outback, right? Well,
no—someone had stolen all of our cash.
With a lot more caution we took off to Palm Valley in
Finke Gorge National Park. Caution made sense because
the strictly off-road track combined very bad washboard
with deep sand. The Landy had to climb over outcrops,
high steps and wide gaps, but it mastered them without
problems. We were happy to have suspension modifications
installed which provided us with extra ground clearance.
Palm Valley merits fame due to its stand of Livingstonia
Palms amidst spectacular sandstone formations in the
middle of the dried-out desert. They are a relic from former
times when the area was wetter and richer in vegetation.
Now, the palms get their water out of a big water basin
deep down in the earth.
After one week in the West MacDonnell Range, we
made our way back to Alice Springs to inquire about our
radiator. The radiator had arrived, but looked damaged
from shipping in an inadequate cardboard box. The
mechanic generously offered to install and check it for us,
and after paying a handsome fee, we took off again in the
direction of Darwin. We were anxious to reach the warmer,
northern part of Australia, because nights were pretty cold
in the desert and we were literally sick of the cold.
Heading north on paved Stuart Highway, we stopped at
the famous Devils Marbles, spectacular round shaped rock
formations of red granite scattered over a wide valley.
We enjoyed a peaceful time at a nearby campground. We
saw flocks of Galahs, a kind of pink coloured cockatoo,
socializing happily. When we finally arrived in Katherine,
the Northern Territories third-largest city, we stocked up
on provisions; with full storage boxes and fuel tank we
ventured out 30 km to Katherine Gorge National Park.
We explored the impressive gorge the Katherine River had
cut into the red rock and saw lots of wildlife, like agile
wallabies, flying foxes, bowerbirds and different kinds of
parrots.
We looked most forward to visiting Kakadu National
Park in the north end of the Northern Territories, the locale
for the “Crocodile Dundee” films. Yellow Water, a swampy
region, has an unbelievable abundance of birds. Here was
the place where Crocodile Dundee showed Sue the

journalist his home in the first film. We stayed a few
days and saw lots of wading birds, parrots, kingfishers
and salt water crocodiles. Since the crocodiles are really
very dangerous, signs everywhere warned us away from
the water's edge. Apparently, they are very aggressive
and love to have a sustaining meal of human flesh.
After Yellow Water, we also wanted to visit the famous
Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls, both situated in narrow
gorges with abundant vegetation. Both waterfalls are
accessible only by 4x4 tracks and include a rather deep
water crossing. Though the ford should be smooth, the
rangers told us it's about three feet deep and we didn't
know how deep we could go without getting water into
critical areas of the car. After all, in the Defender, the
battery is located under the seat and our storage boxes
with food are even lower. Our fears proved unfounded;
even with some quite tricky and unstable areas the ford
did not challenge the Land Rover.
After visiting another area in Kadadu National Park,
Ubirr Rock, with a nice view over wetlands, we left after a
week or so and headed towards Darwin, the capital of the
Northern Territory. Here, we hoped to replace our solar
panel on the roof tent, which we found out was broken
in New Zealand. After searching in New Zealand and other
Aussie cities, we finally found one we could use in Darwin.
It was rated at only 40 watts instead of 55–60 watts, but
it would be better than nothing. In Darwin we enjoyed the
mild climate, internet cafes, a McDonald’s, and the news
that the German Soccer National Team had lost the final
match against the Spaniards in the European Cup
(not so great!)
We finally left Darwin to visit Litchfield National Park,
located just a short distance south. Litchfield National Park
is often praised as the Jewel of the Northern Territories,
but we found it too crowded. Instead, we sought a
secluded spot where we could use our newly-mounted
solar panel. We headed towards Western Australia. On the
way, we couldn’t resist stopping at a roadhouse with a sign
reading, “Victoria River Roadhouse. Now Open Under New
Wife”. After two days drive and over 500 miles, we finally
reached the border of Western Australia. There we camped
at Keep River National Park with its astounding beehive
shaped rock formations. As fresh meat, fruit and vegetables
cannot be carried into Western Australia (fruit fly
quarantines) we enjoyed a large barbeque before our
border crossing.
Having sucessfully crossed into Western Australia, we
headed further west and admired the typical Kimberley
scenery, dominated by the bizarre looking boab trees. Near
the famed 300 mile Gibb River Road, we headed south
towards Bungle Bungle National Park with its famous
beehive-shaped rock formations. The 30 mile track to the
Bungle Bungles requires four-wheel drive, with lots of river
crossings, rocky paths and washboard. After we found a
rovers magazine / 11

campsite, first thing we peered under the Rover to see if
we still had an engine, all four wheels and all equipment
attached to the vehicle. We checked our teeth and bones,
too, and found them all in place. The next few days we
explored the gorges and canyons of this breathtaking,
remote area and before heading further west, we stopped
briefly at Windjana Gorge to see freshwater crocodiles.
Then we headed into the city of Broome, which was made
famous by Malcolm Douglas of television survial show
fame. Having arrived in Broome we visited Cable Beach,
famous for its guided camel caravans along the beach
at sunset. We spent a nice evening at the beach
photographing the camels and just enjoying being
there—along with a huge crowd of other people.
From Broome we headed further south inland to visit
Karinjini National Park with its deep, spectacular gorges,
spring-fed waterholes and unbelievably lush vegetation,
all in the middle of the dry desert. For days we explored
the narrow gorges with its clear pools, sometimes having
to climb and chimney or spider walk to avoid getting wet
feet. Spectacular sights awaited us deep down in the earth,
and in hindsight we have to say that this is the most
amazing place we visited in Australia.

Since the Landy urgently needed an oil change of the
motor, the transfer case box, the gear box and the axles,
we went to see a Land Rover garage in Karratha, a
midsized coastal city in the Pilbara region. After a lot of
driving around, we finally asked at the tourist information
for directions, only to find out the shop had closed half a
year ago. Now we had to drive to the next Land Rover
garage in Darwin, about 2000 miles away! Since we
wanted to have the original fluids, such as the brake fluid,
replaced as recommended by Land Rover, we didn't dare
bring the car to just any garage.
Having no other options, we took on the long drive and
two days later headed into Broome again. Right on time
as it turned out, because Steffen became very ill with
tremendous back pain. After a worrisome few hours at the
local hospital, it became clear that Steffen suffered from a
kidney stone. We left the hospital with painkillers and
instructions to drink large quanities of liquids. We were
very lucky that this emergency hadn't happened in the
middle of nowhere with no doctors in the vicinity.
After resting for two days, we headed out east to cross
the remaining 1100 miles through the remote outback
to Darwin.
Three days later we arrived in Darwin and found the
local Land Rover garage. Happily, they could accomodate
our service needs right away; unhappily, our suspicions

about the low bill were confirmed when we discovered that
we’d been shortchanged on the service list. Yes, oil and
some fluids had been changed out, but axles remained
ungreased, our preferred lubricant request had been
ignored, and we still had our same old brake fluid. We felt
angry, but could do nothing but trust the Land Rover and
remain on the lookout for another garage.
By late August, our around-the-world schedule required
that we move on quickly. After months traveling in the
dusty, arid and semi-arid outback, we looked forward to
Queensland's lush and tropical east coast. To get there, we
began a 1500 mile trek that took us across a huge stretch
of outback. We saw vast swatches of dried-up pastures
where cattle foraged for something to eat; what, we
couldn't imagine, because we saw nothing but cracked
earth and dried-up grass. Towards the end, the drive got
a little bit more interesting as we drove through some
major mining areas with hills and fields of termite mounds.
Only shortly before Townsville, the scenery changed and
got gradually greener and wetter.
We embraced the lush scenery and are now eager to
explore the tropical rainforests of Australia's east coast. To
be continued...

I spent a month away from home in the Conway, NH, area,
with my Land Rover, the QE I. On my island town, I’m the
only year-round resident with a Land Rover, so I’m used
to waiting until summer before other Land Rovers appear
on our roads. Traveling to a month’s study to become a
Wilderness EMT at the Solo School, I hoped to meet up
with other Land Rover enthusiasts.
Posting my travel plans on the Rovers North and
Southern New Hampshire Land Rover Club’s forums
produced a recommendation that I find the owner of a
brewpub called The Moat in North Conway, easy advice
for me to accept. The 5 hour ferry ride and drive across
Maine into New Hampshire confirmed my worst fears;
other than a couple of LR3’s in southern Maine
[our state’s only dealership is located there], I saw no other
Land Rover on the road.
Daily classes, evening study groups and weekend
clinical schedules left little time to drive the Land Rover,
but the urge to take a short drive would become
overwhelming at times. One sunny but cold Saturday
afternoon, I drove to North Conway and saw a sign for a
high school fundraising car wash. Since the QE I had last
been washed before the winter solstice, a bath seemed like
a good idea. The student scrubbers sounded delighted to
subject themselves to cold water on a cold day. One junior
insisted my car was, “The second one I’ve seen today, and
I never see one of these!” The second one—I was not lost!
There was another Series Rover in the Conway area.
That brewpub recommendation seemed like a great
place to start, so I made a couple of weekend trips to
The Moat. There I met Steve Johnson, the owner of The
Moat and a Defender 90 with a Tdi implanted under the
bonnet. Parking our Rovers in front of the brewpub on the
busy road to nearby ski areas drew admiring gazes from
passer-bys. Meeting at a popular brewpub also drew
enthusiast Dave Sticht from Meredith, NH, who drove up
for a Sunday meeting. Dave’s 109” features a coil spring
chassis underneath the car, an enhancement he enjoys very
much, as well as a custom front bumper, but otherwise,
he runs it as a stock vehicle.
Once Land Rovers meet a photo shoot always follows,
so we parked our Rovers on a grassy strip next to the
brewpub. I noticed a man washing his Discovery Series II
nearby, introduced myself and asked if he would permit
his Rover to join the photo. Keith Thurber, the owner,
agreed and then offered to take our small group
off-roading anytime.
Again immersed in classes and field training, I would
wonder about that “other” Series Rover. Conway and North
Conway are the market towns for the Mt. Washington
region; anyone who required any goods or services for
sustenance, health, rock climbing or skiing would drive the

one main road between the two towns. How come I never
saw that other Rover?
A chance meeting with another auto enthusiast set the
stage for a momentous afternoon. Every morning it did
not snow, I took a long, uphill trek past an old farmhouse
whose barn housed a 1950’s pastel green Pontiac. One
Saturday afternoon I saw it drive by the Solo School and I
followed it up the hill. There I met Bob and Elizabeth
Hatch, and Bob happily accepted my request for our two
classic cars to meet up. Bob’s 1956 Pontiac, with its
straight 8 engine, looked fabulous and benefited from the
thousands of miles of driving that Bob has put on the car
since its purchase.
As I thanked him and left, he said, “You know, there’s
a fellow who has a few Land Rovers just like yours. His
name is Gagnon and he lives just a few roads over, in
Madison, the next town over the hills.” I couldn’t resist; I
jumped into the Rover with fellow student Adam Long and
went to search out the “other Rover.” We followed Bob’s
directions, found the dirt road and traveled its length.
Mostly we saw woods, some fields, a couple of houses, and
views of a lake. We found a sign that read “Gagnon”, but
a gate blocked the lane so we turned around and headed
back. We peered down every driveway and suddenly Adam
shouted out, “Land Rover!”
I crept slowly down a driveway and saw the fender of
one Series Rover, then another and yet another. Two men
chatted beside a fourth Land Rover, and just as I decided
not to disturb them, I saw one man wave in greeting. As I
pulled in he said “Don’t tell me, I know that car!” Nordel
Gagnon and his Land Rover friend, Ed Starr, both readers
of this magazine, recognized the QE I and welcomed us
to Nordel’s home.
After a few weeks of feeling rather alone and lost,
reveling in the presence of two rabid enthusiasts lifted any
gloom from my extended stay. Whatever plans Nordel had
for the afternoon, he dumped them and plied us with
hospitality. We met the entire family: Beth, teenagers Allie
and Owen, and the dogs Aztec, Scotty and Willy. I toured
their handsome lakeside house, a majestic treehouse
constructed by Nordel, and wandered the shore of
Big Pea Porridge Pond.
Along with Ed’s daily driver, a ’73 Series III 88”, I viewed
Nordel’s ’72 Santana 88” [only the second I’ve seen in
person], his ’61 Series II-A 88” and his ’73 Series III 88”.
Nordel came across his love for Land Rovers in childhood,
(“A neighbor restored cars and had an early Land Rover
parked at this house,”) but found it reinforced on his
honeymoon 20 years ago. “Beth and I stayed on a sheep
farm in New Zealand. The farmer took us on a ride
through his fields in a tattered old Land Rover with bald
tires. I knew I wanted one again.”
Nordel, a wildlife photographer and conservationist,
found his new home in New Hampshire a perfect site for
his love of family, loon habitats and Land Rovers. He uses
his eye as a photographer to increase awareness of the
wonder of birds, and calls himself a “romantic” about Land
Rovers. His friend, Ed Starr, is the “mechanical genius who
helps to keep my Land Rovers running.” They met just as
rovers magazine / 19

we did that April day; “Ed popped in out of nowhere,
driving his Series III, and we’ve been friends ever since.”
By the late afternoon, Nordel had already invited me
and any interested Solo School students to enjoy an
off-road trial ride the following weekend. To my surprise,
several students, Eli Kasper, Norwich, VT, Matt Rudyanzky,
Trenton, NJ, Adam Long, Petaluma, CA, and Isaac Kintindi
from Tanzania, jumped at the chance to ride along. Joined
by Ed Starr and Nordel’s family, we packed into the Rovers
for an enjoyable ride through the forests and hill roads in
Madison and Eaton, New Hampshire.
On a dry, sunny day these trails were simply genuine
green lanes, but the fabulous scenery and mountain vistas
relaxed everyone from the stresses of study and clinical
time. As is often the case, these local enthusiasts took us
places that we would never have traversed if not for their
time and energy. For Nordel and Ed, it provided a chance
to show non-Rover owners the communal joy and delight
brought on by these classic vehicles. The afternoon trail
ride ended all too soon. The day was made even more
remarkable given that the entire Gagnon family had an
educational vacation in Wales planned for that very week;
the last thing I could imagine doing before an overseas
trip was taking a group of strangers off-roading!
Land Rovers attract interesting people and bring
enthusiasts together in fascinating, serendipitous ways.
It takes only two or three enthusiasts driving their Land
Rovers to make a day special. Don’t hide yours—there’s
probably an enthusiast feeling lost, just waiting to stumble
across another Land Rover.

text: Jeffrey B. Aronson
Our local volunteer EMS service stood in need of new
EMTs. Desperately, or why else would our director urge me
to attend a course at the Solo School in Conway, NH, to
become a Wilderness EMT?
After a winter of driving the QE I only around the
island, the April trip to New Hampshire felt rather inviting.
During the winter I had carefully made a list of all the
required maintenance tasks required before departure, and
assiduously avoided all of them until the last minute. For
example, filing worn-out points instead of replacing them
did not eliminate stumbling and bucking under load—a
likelihood along the long, hilly roads across Maine into
eastern New Hampshire.
Upon arrival, I met the 19 other students taking the
month-long course. All were much younger men and
women who thrived on working in national parks, fighting
forest fires, climbing rock faces, snowboarding instead of
skiing, and leading hiking, rafting or wilderness trips. I
thought of these as intriguing, exciting endeavors, best
sampled by people with a lot of time on their hands.
Over the month the gap between me and my new peers
might have become a chasm—except that I had brought
my Land Rover.
Quickly the QE I became the vehicle of choice when
the group decided to head into Conway or North Conway.
I only had to say, “I’m going into town” and arguments
would break out over who would occupy the four rear
jump seats. In theory, a Series Land Rover 88” station
wagon seats 7 people—I will attest that you can squeeze
in more. Men who would go weeks between laundry runs
when out in the wilderness suddenly got the urge to do
their laundry anytime I headed into town. I recognized
that these new friends did not really care for me, they
cared for my Land Rover.
They openly admired the timeless elegance of the
design, its purposeful appearance, the banjo steering wheel
and the scuttle vent knobs, the multiple levers sprouting
out from the transmission tunnel. Even on the coldest
nights they requested that the rear flap remain rolled up.
The total absence of expected amenities common in
contemporary cars and trucks did not bother anyone.
While at school, the Jeep Cherokee owned by
Matt Runyanszky, Trenton, NJ, challenged the QE I for
automotive attention. Matt—a 20-something rock climber,
tattoo aficionado, welder and outdoorsman—had
kitted-out his Jeep with a massive lift kit and oversized
tires. Skid plates protected the undersides and the steering
linkage. It even had the requisite sound system for cruising
streets. In appearance, his Jeep looked far more capable
than my stock Series Land Rover.
Three days after the course began, as I waited in the
dinner line, Matt ran into the cafeteria and shook my
shoulder. “I need you right now, man!” I quickly followed
him outdoors and down a lane to the school’s entry road.
Like any steep dirt road in New England, this one was lined
with a generously deep ditch, into which Matt had inserted
a wheel on his Jeep. Unknown to him the ditch had an
extra drainage hole right underneath his front wheel; now
his Jeep resembled a Labrador retriever sleeping on its side
with its legs in the air. With a straight face Matt said,
“I need you to pull me out.”
Dumping your Jeep on its side in a ditch, hundreds of
miles from home, in full view of a parade of faculty and
administration driving by—well, it’s unnerving at best. An
awful lot of cellphones clicked and transmitted a lot of
photos that early evening. Certainly the thought of further
damaging Matt’s car made me feel uneasy. I walked
rovers magazine / 32

around his Jeep, looking at pulling angles and directions.
I would have to right it first. With the Jeep on its side,
finding the best place to attach my kinetic rope and
shackle was a cinch. I reached up to the right rear spring
and connected it to my rope with a shackle. I positioned
the Rover, selected low range first gear, and pulled
sideways on the Jeep. It tumbled over and bounced
mightily on its coil springs. While the 6” lift had
undoubtedly caused his car to lean wildly and tip over, it
also allowed him to back out of the ditch successfully with
only a crumpled front fender for damage. The Rover had
proven its mettle. Stiff upper lip and all that, I returned to
the cafeteria for dinner.
Later that month another glorious moment arose with
the arrival of a box from Rovers North. In addition to the
requisite parts for an ignition tune-up (points, plugs,
condenser, rotor, distributor cap) I had ordered a new hand
crank, as I had left behind the one that usually resides in
the QE I. A crank makes finding the high spot on the
distributor cam lobe much easier than relentlessly tugging
on the fan belt.
Many classmates equated my white hair with “senility”
or “uselessness”; several mouthed the word “dementia”
when I claimed that the Rover could be started with a hand
crank. Wisely, I chose a weekend evening when I had been
selected as chauffeur to demonstrate this procedure. If
successful, I was confident I would not have to purchase
my own beers that night.
I turned the key to “on,” pulled out the choke slightly,
set the hand throttle a bit high, and inserted the crank into
the front pulley. I gently turned the crank clockwise and
when I felt compression release at the 3 o'clock position,
moved the crank to its lowest point on the arc. Loosely
holding the handle, I pulled it up and slid my hand off as
it went over the top. The Rover gently throbbed to life as
I raised my arms just like champions do in the Olympics.
The “ooh’s” and “ahh’s” that followed validated the
Rover’s awesomeness and my own belief that I could leave
my wallet at home that night.
Next, on a Sunday morning run to Dunkin’ Donuts,
John Kurtz, Minneapolis, MN, and I spotted two women
in a new Jeep Wrangler, dangling a stuffed lion out the
window. We waved it down and got Kristen Welch, Chester
NH, and Jenny Bronson, Henniker, NH, to agree that a lion
really belonged on the spare tire of a Land Rover. Their
Wrangler looked ordinary beside the Rover.
When the need for another weekend diversion from
the month-long course reared up, a quiet afternoon spent
performing an ignition tune up and general maintenance
on the Rover proved the perfect antidote to excessive
studying. For the African instructors and students at the
Solo School, the Rover elicited fascinating stories about
their lives spent around or through Land Rovers.
The message is, of course, get behind the steering wheel
and share your Land Rover with the world at large.
They’re waiting for you!
Actually, so are Jeep owners. When I returned home
to the island town in Maine, I found myself in my Rover
driving behind our mechanic in his old Jeep Wrangler. As
he chugged up a hill he tapped his taillights several times
to get my attention. When I waved, he dangled a tow strap
out the window, clearly wondering if the QE I needed help
getting up the hill. Continuing the pressure, I later found
a hand-painted sign, which read “Junk Pile,” staked into
the ground in front of the Rover.
David Townend of Yorkshire, England, makes and sells
clothes for classic-car buffs. “They get the car, and we
supply them with the clothes,” he explained. “People come
and say, ‘This is the car, what should I wear?’ Bentley guys
wear simple clothes, corduroy trousers and Harris tweed.
Rolls-Royce owners wear suits.”
The question of what to wear in a Series Rover requires
complex answers. It’s helpful during rainy weather to
consider something totally water repellant; Defender
owners might share similar opinions. On snowy, cold winter
days, one might suggest, “Everything you own—unless you
replace those leaking door seals.”
It has occurred to me that Land Rover advertisements
of their day dressed up the models in far different outfits.
Men, women and children wore clean clothes appropriate
for the weather implied by the advertisement.
Advertisements from the ‘70s and '80s suffer from some
genuinely embarrassing articles of clothing and hairstyles,
but they do all look clean—even the workmen!
This got me thinking about the “outfits” I wear while
in my Rover. I’m still rankled about the parting shot that
Mark Letorney sent my way at a past British Invasion.
When I tried on my then-new Rovers North waxed cotton
coat, Mark admonished me—publicly—not to “get it all
greasy.” Really!
I wonder what Jeep owners wear in their cars?

Just What the

Defenders were made for adventures, like this trip from Alaska.
My affliction began gradually, and in retrospect at an age
too young to be considered a mid-life crisis. First came
BMX bikes, then mountain bikes, then rock-climbing, then
kayaking—really, anything outdoors would do. I had a
serious allergy to pavement.
Then, while driving back to college in 1994, I passed
the Land Rover dealership in Santa Barbara and spotted a
vehicle unlike any other, slowly revolving on a rotating
display. Even from my fleeting vantage point on Highway
101, I could tell that it was overbuilt. Boxy in shape, it
was not for everyone, but it was for me.
Over the next 13 years I graduated college, secured and
quit my first real job, enrolled at medical school, moved
to Oregon for my residency program, got married, and
bought a house. But my disease was never in remission,
only barely under control. I explored remote parts of
Oregon from the saddle of a BMW 650GS dual sport bike.
I found off-road motorbiking a solitary sport; I could
not share it with friends, including my wife, Jessie. Then,
in the summer of ’07, while riding the BMW down fire
roads in the Mt. Hood National Forest, I passed a soft-top
Defender. Inside sat a family, including a dog, whizzing by
me with wide grins and waving hands. With visions of that
boxy car from ’94 spinning through my mind, my disease
resurfaced in a full-blown relapse.
After several months of scanning Craigslist and online
forums, I found what I was looking for in November ’07—
a ’94 Coniston Green soft-top Defender 90, in good
condition, with a spare tire mounted on the bonnet. The
only hitch was that it was 2,565 miles away, in Alaska.
“Hey, weren’t these vehicles built for adventures?”
I asked myself. I presented the same question in rhetorical
form to Jessie. By this point in our marriage I had learned
that the greater her skepticism, the better my idea! After a
few phone calls to Ross Brudenell, the Defender’s owner,
I hatched a plan for us to fly to Anchorage and then drive
and ferry the Defender back to Portland.
Not long after came the happy discovery of Jessie’s
pregnancy, and for a moment, the best laid plans of….well,
you know the rest. Too late—in my mind I had already hit
the road through the Yukon in my new Defender. Time for
a new plan!
“It was like the Make A Wish Foundation called me,” my
dad told me when I met him in the airport in
Anchorage. Since being diagnosed with cancer several
years prior, he had become somewhat of an
armchair-explorer. My mother worried about his driving,
and the chemotherapy sometimes exhausted him. But
when I called him five days earlier, he didn’t hesitate to
accept the offer of an adventure.
rovers magazine / 39

Above: A store with gas pumps–a welcoming sight in Alaska. - Mountains and light start our day in
the Defender. - Our Defender performed perfectly the entire trip.
Opposite: The skies seem bigger in the Yukon.
Ross and his wife, Jackie, insisted that we stay with
them before heading out. Ross was a longtime Rover
fanatic who had owned Series Rovers, a Discovery, and
most recently the Defender. The next morning after
breakfast with Ross and Jackie, we set out for home.
Until this purchase I had never sat in a Defender; it felt
right. The simple controls reminded me of the tractor we
had as a kid on the family farm. The growl it made as it
accelerated never reaffirmed its status as a true utility
vehicle. Anchorage disappeared in the rearview mirror and
before long, we felt far, far away from civilization.
Late that pitch black afternoon we pulled into Tok, AK.
We checked into Fast Eddy’s hotel, the last hotel in this
direction on the Al-Can before entering the Yukon. Before
going to bed, we plugged the Defender’s block heater into
an outlet outside our room.
The next morning we felt the bone chilling -10 F
degrees. The Defender’s door seals crackled as I opened
the driver’s side. I slipped the key into the ignition, unsure
of how this vehicle might react to the cold. It snapped to
life instantly, and I let it run while we loaded up. We got
some coffee for the road, and left Tok as we had
arrived—in the dark.
We had a long day ahead of us, over 450 miles to Haines
Junction. The Yukon is bigger than California with a
population of less than 35,000 people. If you like wideopen
spaces, that’s a fantastic ratio. The Defender never
missed a beat as it took us through the desolate landscape.
Just as the needle in the fuel gauge dipped into the red, a
lonely outpost would appear in front of us. We’d stop,
fuel-up, refill our coffee mugs, and return to the road.
During the hours that passed, my dad reminisced about
the adventures he had as a younger man: riding mopeds
through Europe, hitchhiking out of Morocco in a Citroen,
only to hitchhike back with the driver after the Citroen
caught fire and burned to the ground. Then came my turn
and I reveled in his elation when I told him of Jessie’s
pregnancy.
We stopped in Destruction Bay for lunch and gas. It was
already getting dim outside. We wolfed down our food,
and hopped back in the Defender for the final leg of the
day’s journey. As we had the previous night, we pulled into
our destination with the headlights on and the heater
blowing full-blast. We had a few beers with the locals that
night at the Kluane Park Inn in Haines Junction.
In the morning we left the Al-Can, and headed south
on Highway 3 for Haines where we hoped to catch a ferry
to Washington. The Al-Can had seemed a thin black line
through an otherwise extreme environment, but it only
took a few miles of Highway 3 to realize how good we
had had it. Our new road rose and fell, twisted and turned,
as it led us through frigid valleys between enormous peaks
on our way to the coast. Occasionally it disappeared
entirely under a layer of fresh snow.
rovers magazine / 40

On this road the Defender revealed itself as a true
workhorse. The temperature dropped as we climbed in
elevation and the snow fell harder and harder. On top of
Chilkat Pass, I eased us onto the shoulder to take picture,
and what had appeared to be solid footing turned out to
be deep, soft snow. The Defender quickly sank up to its
axles and listed to the passenger’s side, such that my dad’s
door hit snow when he tried to open it.
I got out and immediately sank up to my knees in soft
snow. My assessment was that we were in deep trouble.
I got back in and tried to keep a poker face about our
predicament. My dad looked at me with the calm of
someone who had been in similar situations, and then
suggested that I lock the center differential. The center
differential light lit up on the dash, and the truck rocked
back and forth as I played the clutch. On the fourth or
fifth try, I opened the throttle. The engine roared, and the
tires found what they were looking for beneath us. We shot
back onto the road.
It’s nice to have a partner on adventures, whether it is a
friend, a family member, or even a trusty vehicle.
Nothing could stop us now, and we pushed down the
pass towards Haines. My dad was having the time of his
life. Before we arrived in Haines, we switched seats. He
buckled himself in and gave the steering wheel a good
shake, before declaring, “Feels sturdy.” He drove us the rest
of the way down out of the mountains to the coast.
Later that evening we loaded the Rover onto the M/V
Malaspina, a heavy-duty ferry on Alaska’s marine highway
system. For the next several days, we watched as a pristine
coastline moved passed our stateroom porthole. We made
new friends and even celebrated Thanksgiving on board
the ship somewhere south of Sitka.
When we finally disembarked in Bellingham,
Washington, it felt odd not to drive on packed snow or
ice. As planned, I dropped my dad off at the airport in
Tacoma, on my way back to Portland. When I returned
to the driver’s seat, I was surprised at how much I felt his
absence.
I had heard the stories of his adventures a million times
before, but it was on this trip that I realized that he and I
had never shared an adventure. My daughter, Adina, born
in June ’08, has grown like a weed. By her first birthday,
I had already detected subtle signs that she, too, suffered
from my disease. In the hottest months of summer, she
likes nothing better than being buckled into her seat in
the back of the topless Defender, with her basset hound,
Larry, by her side for a drive around town or to the
mountains. Ours must be a hereditary disease, passed
down from one generation to the next.

T
his year’s SCARR (South Central Area Rover
Rally), held from April 15-18, provided further
proof—if any was needed—of Texas hospitality.
Our driving instructions pointed us in a new
direction, the Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls,
TX, but the old tradition of a warm reception for
organizers and attendees alike, still felt firmly intact. After
a long drive from Vermont in a Defender, that reception
meant a great deal to us. In the frigid north, we’re used
to receiving grunts and nods at Land Rover events; when
we come to SCARR, we’re overwhelmed by the warm
greetings. Believe me, we never tire of meeting fans of
Rovers North!
Hidden Falls immediately presented itself as a vast
playground for lovers of the outdoors: hiking, dirt biking,
camping—it had it all. As an off-road event course, the
park certainly delivered our hearts' desires. Event drivers
confronted a huge network of trails ranging in difficulty
for an even wider level of skill than in previous years.
Seasoned adventurers had a new area to explore with
surgical precision, and newcomers were given ample
education on the beginner trails without risking damage
to their Land Rovers.
The new location’s inviting terrain helped event
organizers attract a new crop of novice off-roaders. From
first-timers to beginning adventurers, the new drivers were
welcomed to the SCARR family as learners and left
as enthusiasts eager to take their next steps. As we
watched these newbie off-roaders, we were reminded why
enthusiasts love to challenge their skills whenever
possible. We saw the same expressions of thrill, pride and
frustration (though rarely acknowledged) in the faces
of the new drivers that you’d find high up on the
expert trails.
The change in venue did not alter the event’s sense
of community, friendship, support, or encouragement
for all off-roaders. SCARR still provides a badly-needed
vacation from a routine governed by traffic lights and
exit signs, yet each iteration becomes something bigger
in spirit than it was the year before. As the extended
enthusiast family continues to grow in both size
and off-road capability, we look forward to the reunion
every year.

Taking Shots at SCARR
Several SCARR attendees took a break from exploring the
trails to see if their shooting skills matched their
driving abilities. Armed with a rifle, participants took aim
at three targets from a range of 100 yards, with the goal
to accumulate as many accuracy points as possible. Rovers
North’s own Taylor Congleton put up a good effort on
the firing line. However it was Dan Chapman who won
bragging rights as the best shot with his score of 106 and
a Royal Flush on the poker target.
Land Rover enthusiasts recognize that events
like SCARR take on a special meaning because of the
fascinating people who make up the Land Rover
community. Leaving our offices in rural Westford, VT,
affords us the opportunity to meet the wide range of
enthusiasts who make our lives so entertaining. Here’s a

FROM
THE
SHOP
text: Taylor Congleton
[Taylor Congleton owns and operates T. Congleton Rovers, a full service Land Rover shop, and Overland Corrosion Protection,
a Waxoyl protection service for all vehicles, in Westford, VT. Taylor also serves as the Field Technician for Rovers North Fleet
Sales –ed.]
Owners of Discovery Series I’s,
Defenders and Range Rover
Classics have reported instances in
which their Rovers shimmy and
shake down the road. At times, the
shake through the steering wheel is
so substantial that it feels as though
the front end is “Dancin’ in the
street.” This can arise after hitting
a pothole, driving across a bridge
transition divider on a highway, or
a “Vermont Special”—a missing
section of road or pavement.
Customers have scared me
with their various methods of
coping with these issues, such as
“If I accelerate rapidly I can
sometimes drive through it,” or,
“Braking really hard and to the left
seems to stop it.” My most
frightening advice came from a
client who said the problem came
rovers magazine / 52
on “Only on the interstate above 60
mph. I mash the brakes, slow down
to about 35 mph and then
accelerate back into my lane as
soon as the shakes stop.”
The proper thing to do if you
ever experience a significant
wobble is: keep your head about
you, check the rear view mirror to
determine the level and type of
traffic behind you, and then in a
controlled fashion bleed off
speed and move to the shoulder.
Then get your Rover repaired or do
the work yourself.
Obviously you need to take
these “quirks” seriously as they
indicate significant steering and
front suspension wear.
Your Rover’s front axle is kept
in position (located) by a
few different components, which
through articulation (think wheels
on ground) keep the axle attached
to the chassis and the body. Your
radius arms control vertical flex
movement. Imagine swimming
through the water with your arms
extended in front of you. Your
shoulders are the chassis and your
fists are the left and right sides
of the axle. Your arms can
move up and down but in this
instance will always be the same
distance from your shoulders.
In this respect the axle is
jointed to the chassis allowing
controlled movement through the
radius arms and dampened with
rubber bushings. This is vertical
suspension travel.
The Panhard rod keeps the axle
beneath the vehicle. It’s a solid
steel rod attached with rubber

ushings from the axle to
the chassis above the axle.
When viewed from a birds eye
perspective, it is traveling parallel
with the axle. When viewing the
car from straight ahead, the
Panhard rod can usually be noticed
as having the same attitude and
angle as the steering drag link
traveling from steering arm on
driver’s side to ball joint on
passenger side.
Curiously, as the axle moves up
and down it does not do so in a
perfectly vertical fashion. On
Range Rover Classics, Discoverys
and Defenders, as the axle extends
downward it will also be moving
slightly to the left. Again, this is
because the axle is located
vertically through the radius arms
which extend back from the axle to
body, and the Panhard rod which
runs from left to right over the axle.
These (three) fixed mounting
points and fixed lengths of steel
dictate where and how these axles
can move. As you approach a
corner, your Rover exerts a
tremendous load upon the Panhard
rod as the axle wants to follow the
road and Rover wants to lean.
Keeping a two-ton Rover on the
road, let alone serious off road
driving, can wear out the rubber
bushings over time.
Most of these bushing-related
wobbles can be eliminated through
the use of Genuine Land Rover
Panhard rod bushings. I do
not recommend polyurethane
Panhard rod bushings; while I’ve
had success with polyurethane
bushings in Land Rovers, they’re
inferior to Genuine Parts bushings
when used in this application.
Other worn parts contribute to
front end shakes and wobbles, but
most of the time, Panhard rod
bushings prove to be the culprit.
Also, check the steering damper,
a sort of horizontal shock absorber
for the steering components.
If you require a replacement I
recommend Bilstein or Terrafirma
steering dampeners. It’s important
for safety that you don’t ignore
front end shakes or shimmies; once
you’ve tackled them, you can relax
and enjoy your V-8 meditations
while underway.

The red Moab dust blew into my eyes
as I squinted to get a clear look at the
worn U-joint on my Defender 90’s
driveshaft. Changing a U-joint in the
wind and sand will be a hassle, but
that’s nothing compared to repairing
it once it’s failed. I pulled into a less
windblown wash and dug out my
tools. I chocked the tires, unlocked
the center diff and shifted into
neutral in both gear boxes.
Rummaging through the wrenches
I wondered why I have to change this
particular U-joint so often.
When I installed the suspension
and spacer plates to lift the D90
almost 4” over stock, I installed
custom trailing arms that allowed me
to correct the pinion angle of the rear
diff. However, that causes the
rearmost U-joint to bind when I really
flex the suspension. One solution
would involve purchasing a custom
driveline with a double Cardan Joint
and increasing driveshaft flexibility to
almost 35 degrees; another would be
the shaved unit with up to 42
degrees. Yet my stock OE drivelines
have provided faithful service for over
15 years such that I don’t mind
changing a U-joint once a year.
[Rovers North lift kits for the Defender,
Discovery I/II and Range Rover Classic
allow for the maximum 2” lift as recommended
by Land Rover engineers. Lifting
higher significantly changes suspension
geometry necessitating a host of additional
modifications to avoid subsequent
driveline & suspension issues –ed.]
I grabbed the 14mm and the
9/16 wrenches to start the removal
process. I know improper wrench
selection like this can round off these
critical nuts and bolts, but in the
field, I must use what I have on hand.
I used the 14mm box end to hold the
head of the drive flange fastener and
the 9/16” to spin off the nut. With
SAE fasteners it made sense to keep
the flats of the nut from rounding off
with the proper wrench end. Since I
put them on, I knew the torque
required to loosen them. I got the
two facing me on the bottom loose,
released the hand brake to allow the
shaft to turn over and accessed the
other two. I cut a water bottle apart
and used the bottom of it to hold the
hardware. A chunk of slickrock kept
the plastic from getting blown away
in the wind.
With the rear-most flange loose,
I tied it up with a short piece of rope
to help me get at the front flange
mounting nuts at the hand brake
housing. I used a ¼” drive ratchet
with a 6” wobbly extension and a
9/16” 6-point socket to loosen the
nuts. Once loosened, I released the
hand brake and removed them all
easily, rotating the shaft and turning
the ratchet in sequence. The shaft
came off and I dragged my sandy,
windblown butt out from underneath
the D90, keeping all the bits and
pieces sand free—yeah right!
Now I wished I had a bench vise,
but instead I had a 4.5” C-clamp that
Genuine U-joint Worn out U-joint Removing the circlip
rovers magazine / 54

performed just fine when used with
the correct terms, language and in the
right tone of voice. I found that if I
held my tongue just right and
grimaced with my left cheek the job
went quicker.
I grabbed the pre-packed and
pre-lubed Genuine U-joint out of my
spares kit. This one came from Rovers
North. The OE needle bearings are
bigger and the U-joint seems beefier
than the ones I’ve picked up in a
pinch from NAPA. I stick with
Genuine Parts because the manufacturer
has clearly designed them for
strength and durability. When I get a
new part for my trail repair kit, I
always prepare it by cleaning off the
shipping grease and pre-lubing it
with Lucas Red Grease or similar high
temperature, water resistant grease.
Small critical parts like wheel bearing
and U-joints tuck away easily into my
kit. I have not broken a Genuine Land
Rover U-joint; the only U-joint I have
ever broken was a fancy Spicer unit I
got from some driveshaft company.
After I cleaned out the circlip
journals I grabbed the circlip tool and
removed those pesky clips from the
four journal openings of the shaft
and flange. I saved them in case I
dropped one of the new ones.
Although I am only changing one
U-joint I have marked the flanges and
shaft as to the position and direction
of the grease Zerks so I didn’t lose the
shaft balance, or phasing. The rear
step bumper and the receiver shackle
bracket served as my work bench and
I used a rubber mallet (you could use
a soft faced hammer or dead blow) to
whack the old U-joint end caps out
of the flange. Two of the U-joint
journals were in great shape.
The other two were elliptical and
scalded, with cracked or missing
needle bearings. Now I am glad I
replaced it!
Now came the tricky, sensitive
part of this trail fix—installing the
new U-joint. Since this exposed the
delicate bearing surfaces I kept close
watch for blown sand. Working on
the floor board of the leeward side of
the vehicle, I laid out a couple of
clean shop towels. Disassembling the
new U-joint, I removed the grease
Zerk and placed the pieces on the
towel in the positions of removal.
I kept the bearing end caps with the
U-joint journals aligned with the
Zerk’s positioning on the towel.
I wanted the caps and journals to
match the original seating of their
maching.
I held the shaft and inserted the
bare journals. I aligned a corresponding
cap into the flange hole on the
outside and used the C-clamp to
squeeze the cap into the flange hole
and onto the U-joint journal. I made
absolutely certain to keep the needles
from falling, dirt from entering and
the cap from jamming while I screwed
the clamp onto the U-joint journal.
I repeated the procedure for the other
side. [If the cap starts to go in crooked it
is best to stop early and reset it. Be gentle
when “persuading” the caps into place –
ed.] I used a socket that fit just inside
the flange journal to press the caps
further into the flange and seat both
caps tightly. Not too tight mind you—
there should be an ever so slight
movement from the U-joint. I’ll adjust
this once it is all finally assembled.
I grabbed the loose flange, made
sure of my Zerk and alignment marks
and repeated the installation
procedure. The hard part came when
I attempted to hold the stupid shaft
from flopping around with my leg,
arm, foot and a winch bag. I swear
they were all diabolically in cahoots.
I finessed or wrestled both ends in
and got the caps to line up and the
journals in place. I installed the
circlips and with the rubber mallet
whacked the shaft so that each of the
four caps got pushed outward against
the clips. This ensured that the
U-joint had enough flex and space
for the grease to coat the needles
properly.
I shot a bit of grease into both
U-joints on the shaft and made sure
some came out of each cap. That way
I knew that grease is making its way
into the needles.
I put on my ancient Sears
coveralls over my nice camping
clothes and crawled back under the
Defender. Like all Land Rover
workshop manuals state: “To
assemble, reverse the order.” So I
installed the handbrake end of the
shaft first and then the differential
end. I used the hand brake to help
secure the shaft so I could get the
correct torque on the U-joint
fasteners—yep, good ‘n tight and
grease the U-joints and the slip yoke
one more time to settle it all in.
I cleaned up the tools, repacked
the gear, wiped my hands with some
extra butt-wipes, checked for any
loose trash or parts, removed my
wheel chocks and engaged the drive
boxes and gears to move the D90
forward a bit. I walk back to recheck
the area and smile a big happy face
for a job well done! Hey this gives me
an idea for a Burke’s Corner article in
Rovers Magazine!
Now I just need to find a
camping spot for the night, preferably
one that is out of the wind… maybe
with a fire pit and a nice view of
the sunset too.
See you on the trail.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
TelevisionMadeMeDoIt

[Bo Vilmos Widerberg, Tampa, FL, is a program manager for an online education company; he also teaches online courses for two
universities. His wife and twin children take delight in this most recent addition to their family –ed.]
Blame this one squarely on the television set.
When I was little, travel and nature shows like
Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom planted and
nurtured the romance of Land Rovers in me.
I sat cross-legged in front of the box, transfixed by the
animals and far off exotic locales. Something else was
there—strange, beautiful little boxes on wheels, going
anywhere and doing anything. I saw 109’s in safari trim,
crossing the African savannah or crawling through deep
ruts and mud "trails" in places like Borneo or the jungles
of Brazil. The Series Land Rover became, for me, the
archetypal vehicle of adventure, exploration, and escape.
They became not just the means to explore but the
embodiment of the very ideal of exploration. They came
to represent for me some pretty powerful, heady,
eye-misting stuff.
As I grew older, as usually happens, my interests
expanded and the Series Land Rovers drifted further from
my mind, replaced by grad school, work, marriage, and
kids. Although drifting away, the dreams never disappeared
entirely. Every few years, as I began to get reinterested in
cars, especially classic British cars, I'd try to get the lay of
the land, but would become dismayed at the prices asked
for Series Land Rovers. This cycle continued for years,
and eventually I grew to think that I'd never be able to
afford one.
To some extent, my interest in the vehicles and the
romance and allure of the Series Land Rover was satisfied—
though never really fully—by living vicariously through the
adventures of others. I read Barbara Toy's books, Tim
Slessor's "First Overland", Olle Strandberg's "Jambo Means
Hello" (in a 1956 first printing that was absolutely
mangled by a Post Office sorting machine before being
delivered, unapologetically, in a plastic bag), all the British
Land Rover magazines, websites, anything I could get my
hands on. Still, "never fully" left a deep, lasting hole.
Now, years later, circumstances (and a pretty significant
amount of luck or karma, depending on your outlook) has
finally brought me to this point: I'm the owner of a Series
Landy, a 1973 LHD 88" to be exact. Finally! She's not
mint, or anywhere near mint, for that matter; in fact, being
essentially a barn find, she's in a pretty sorry state. But,
she's mine and that's all that matters. She—my childhood
dreams, and the promise of adventure, exploration, and
escape—has finally arrived; every time I look into the
garage and see her, the completion of that vital circle
leaves me dizzy with euphoria and the anticipation of our
future together.
Interestingly, I stumbled upon the Landy completely by
accident one day. I was surfing the local Craigslist website,
looking for something entirely unrelated, and found a
listing entitled, "1973 Land Rover - $1." It certainly wasn't
$1, but the post grabbed my attention. The owner had
become disabled and could no longer complete a planned
restoration. The owner hoped to trade the Land Rover for
an ATV or a golf cart. After several dozen emails over the
span of nearly two months, we finally agreed to a cash
price and I had her towed the forty or so miles home.
rovers magazine / 56

Having read Practical Classics, Classics Monthly, and a
host of similar magazines over the years, I knew the "rules"
for buying a classic car (look at several, never buy the first
one you find, never buy one sight unseen, never buy
someone else's abandoned project, etc.). Of course, I broke
every rule. From the moment I saw that first picture on
Craigslist, I knew it wasn't really a matter of if I'd buy her,
but for how much, when, and, perhaps most importantly,
how would I convince my wife? She claims I hoped to
convince her on three fundamental points: the Series III
88” was exactly the car I sought, its rarity, and its proximity
to our Florida home. Granted, these aren't Duesenbergs or
Ferraris, but you see fewer Land Rovers than MG’s or VW
Beetles here in Florida. Quite likely, too, the fact that I'd
been dreaming of a Series Land Rover for so many years
left me in a position to jump blindly on the very first one
that became available—it seemed fated for me. Luckily,
however, I've come up trumps with the purchase, as she
really is in better condition than I could have reasonably
expected for the price.
Some of the important bits, like the rear cross-member
and the frame itself, appear to be in a really good state,
given the fact that she's 37 years old and has spent most
of those years in the warm, damp swamp that is Florida.
There's some surface rust, but none of the rust appears to
have gone through the frame and none appears to be
boiling through from the inside. So, fingers crossed, she'll
just need a good cleaning, rust proofing, painting, and a
healthy dose of Waxoyl on the inside to sort the frame for
years to come. Her Birmabright bodywork is absolutely
stunning. There's a patina, of course, and the odd dent
here and there echoing some long-ago prang, but the
condition is better than I could have hoped for. I'm torn
when it comes to restoring this part of her—do I leave the
patina, or do I bring her back to showroom new?
I guess I'll just have to listen closely and let the truck
tell me what she needs.
The Landy doesn't have either the Zenith-Stromberg or
Solex carb that I'd been expecting to find, but rather a
Weber 34 ICH 2/350. Given the temperatures in Florida,
the likelihood of icing [an occasional problem with this Weber
in northern climes –ed.] seems minimal. The rest of the motor
isn't quite as promising, but that's part of the adventure,
isn't it? The electrical system has been modified in a, well,
unsympathetic manner, and a number of hoses are split or
missing altogether. The spark plugs are black and oily, and
the oil dipstick smells worryingly of fuel. It could be the
carb, or it could be piston rings or any number of other,
equally unpleasant horrors. But, then again, it was
adventure, exploration, and escape that I wanted, and it
seems my Landy is more than willing to provide me with
large amounts of each. Whatever happens, I know she'll
be here by my side, whispering promises of adventures in
far off places without deadlines, departmental meetings,
or any of the other "stuff" that eventually snuffs out most
childhood dreams. I really couldn't be happier.
Perhaps the best part of this whole experience so far,
and confirmation that buying this Land Rover was not just
the right thing but quite possibly the only thing to do, is
the response of my six-year-old twins. They're beaming
more than I am, if that's even possible, and they're already
planning out, in their own wonderful, simplistic ways, our
first adventure overland.

Living La Vida Boricua
text & photos: Nathan Kennedy
[Nathan Kennedy, Minneapolis, MN, is an
expedition and nature photographer working
on a book of photographs of Puerto Rico.
He shared his off-road training opportunity
provided by Caribbean Rovers with us. –ed.]

“As slow as possible, as fast as necessary.” We're all familiar
with Bill Burke's constant repetition of this invaluable
lesson. These words rang true this February in Puerto Rico,
especially last February, when most snowbound Rover
enthusiasts planned winter ice events. Ricardo Gonzales
and Brenda Soto of Caribbean Rovers invited Bill to teach
two days of off-road training classes outside the city of
Naguabo for their annual “winter” event. With mountains
on one side and lapping ocean waves on the other, this
working cattle farm provided the perfect visual setting and
a fine place to live the Boricua (Puerto Rican stress-free
attitude) while receiving instruction from the Camel
Trophy legend.
The 1,500 acre farm with both beach and mountain
terrain on a tropical island looked fine for farming—flat
and free of obstructions—but Bill Burke needed to “fix”
it as an off-road course. Fortunately, Caribbean Rovers
had planned a scouting day, complete with a crawler
track backhoe. Bill saw things in the land that only
someone with his years of experience would consider as
“off-road-able.” He chose three main training areas, all of
which had been completely ignored by earlier scouting
trips. When the heavy equipment arrived he created a
driver’s nightmare of articulation and traction control
engagement with a series of fifteen holes, swapping from
the left side to the right, each separated by the wheelbase
of a Defender 110. He constructed a tight trail of blind,
twisting, high-centering drop-offs and inclines, and used
a natural rain gully formed in the hard terrain by flash
flood-style tropical rain runoff.
Each morning the groups met at the Palmas del Mar
hotel and resort not far from the farm to go over
introductions, basic driving technique, and spotters’ hand
signals. Each day’s groups had different personalities:
Saturday's group of 15 Land Rovers felt feisty, while
Sunday’s nine Land Rovers seemed tamer and more
studious. Bill gave each day's group an idea of what was
to come, but he wisely kept some of each day's secrets to
himself. When pounding tropical rain came through on
Sunday, for example, Bill claimed with a straight face that
he had planned these extreme conditions as part of the
training ordered by Caribbean Rovers. It's still unclear
whether or not anyone believed him, but it was clear that
the effect of the rain on the unavoidable ... um ... cow pies
... made for interesting driving.
Once the group caravans arrived at the farm they
climbed a curving dirt maintenance road up to the highest
drivable area. As they climbed, the view changed from
thick trees on one side and natural grassy wall on the other
to a beautiful view of a plantain farm field in the valley
below. Rising past the fields the mountainous backdrop of
the El Yunque rainforest (the only rainforest in the United
States) stood tall, and as if this wasn't enough to fill the
senses, the blue and aqua colors of the ocean shimmered
off to the horizon to complete the perfect vista. With the
scene set, the off-roading began.

basic driving techniques. - One of the amazing views from the farm.

The articulation course provided the next challenge. Bill
talked about how this part of the day's training can push
a driver to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of their
style. An obstacle like this doesn't look too intimidating
on foot, but from behind the wheel, those holes are deep.
For some of the drivers, this was their first experience
feeling the lurch of a teeter-tottering truck as the driver's
side front tire dropped deep while the opposite rear
climbed high in the air. Bill would let each truck cover two
or three of the holes before stopping the driver to talk
about their style and how to maximize the use of their
truck's traction control system (or lack thereof) off-road.
Each vehicle, and each driver, comes with its own set of
positives and negatives. Bill explained how, as a trainer, he
uses his insight into each set of circumstances to help a
client learn the most from the day. Some clients know they
don't have the experience or technique necessary and
willingly listen to an instructor's suggestions. Others may
or may not actually have good driving skills, but may think
they do because of the amount of kit or modifications
they've added to their truck. With this type of client, Bill
focuses on the trucks and how the driver can use different
techniques to maximize its off-road ability. He steers clear
of hurting anyone's pride while still helping them to
become a better off-road driver. It's that type of insight
into both the vehicle and the psychological workings
of the brain that make Bill Burke's training such a
sought-after event.
Bill covered recovery and recovery gear. He had
designated “classroom” areas on the trail to cover rigging
for winching, winching technique, rigging a Hi-Lift jack
with various accessories, using a jack as a winch, and safely
recovering a vehicle with another using a tow strap.
As any good training event should have, there was ample
opportunity to use some of these techniques in real-world
circumstances when vehicles were caught high-centered or
in some other disabling situation. As one vehicle towed
another off a stubborn climb it pierced the interior sidewall
of one of its tires. Bill used this as the perfect opportunity
to demonstrate tire plugging—an unplanned, but very
useful, addition to the
training. He used five plugs
to repair the tire, and as of
the writing of this article, it's
still holding air.
The day’s events ended at
a one-time employee parking
lot of a long-abandoned
oceanside prison compound.
With the beautiful aqua
water splashing ashore just
feet away and the sun
setting over the mountains of
eastern Puerto Rico, the glow
from the last of the day's
light struck the old prison
church. Fitting indeed, since
reaching the end of the trail
in a Land Rover is always a spiritual moment. Fitting also
because the metaphor comes full circle when we admit
that we are all prisoners—prisoners of our love for
Land Rovers, prisoners of our love for adventure and
the outdoors.
“As slow as possible, as fast as necessary”—the best
off-road advice to be sure, and the best way to describe
the feeling of spending February in Puerto Rico, in a
Land Rover.

sightings
My task as Sightings Editor did not look unusually difficult when the
first mail bag arrived on the ferry; it’s when the second mailbag
loaded down the ferry so much that the seas washed over the
gunwales that I knew this issue would require considerable time.
Movies have used Land Rovers to pump up their appeal since
the days of Series I’s. Fans of The Green Zone watched Matt Damon
co-star with a Defender 110, the movie on the US-led overthrow of
Iraq. Although Damon portrays an American official, he travels about
in this fine British product. Steve Eisenberg, Manchester Center, VT,
Priscilla Corazon, Columbia, MD, Gregory Duckworth, N. Myrtle
Beach, SC, Laura Minner, Carnation, WA, and Richard Thomas,
Savannah, GA, noted this oddity.
According to the trailers for Sex in the City 2, Defender SVX’s
cavort in the desert dunes of Abu Dubai. Alex Osias, Denver, CO,
Nate Rutterbush, Fresno, CA, Joshua O’Neill, Hoboken, NJ,
Theodore Casareo, Jersey City, NJ, Adrian Borunda, San Antonio,
TX, Jeff Pearl, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, and Chris Richichi felt
compelled to watch the ladies relive their consumption-driven lives.
Sherry Block, Hadlyme, CT, notes with pride that even though
the villain in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo rolled his Discovery 8
times, it still landed square and intact. Rory McDonnell, St. Marys,
Ontario, watched Michael Caine in Harry Brown drive around in a
Series II-A. Gerald Sapienza, Chesapeake, VA, and Derek Leath
watched a Range Rover and a Discovery in The Informant. Jeffrey

in Layer Cake. Faye Dunaway and Mickey Rourke once starred in
Barfly, as did a red Series III, according the Mark Maz, Maquoketa,
IO, who was, “really not expecting to see a Land Rover in this movie.”
Derek Leath, Frontenac, MO, spotted a Range Rover P-38 in
The Time Traveler’s Wife.
Of movies mentioned in earlier issues, Chloe Miller spotted the
Series III in The Princess Protection Program. Dan Parrow, Springfield,

animal photography work, notes Kevin Hawkins, Yukon, OK. Edward
Busse, Woodbridge, VA, found the Feb/March 2010 issue of Virginia
Sportsman included a great article on the ROAV Mid-Atlantic Rally.
Television ads have only a few seconds to grab your attention,
so Land Rovers often appear prominently. Gary Hatch [see Rule #6]
For sightings rules, visit www.roversnorth.com/sightings
noted that, “even other car companies like Land Rover,” when he
spotted a Discovery in the background of a Subaru commercial.
Chevron is back with Land Rovers, saw Jeff Labbe, Twekesbury,
Quebec. Nicholas Dover claims a Canadian Kraft mac and cheese
commercial includes a toy Defender 110. Danton Cardoso, Kirksville,
MO, saw an ad for Symbalta which included a Series I.

one episode, noted Victor Estorga, El Paso, TX. Shawn Chummar,

you’d expect to find a Discovery I in “Speed’s Dangerous Drives”, and
