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 Spicewood, TX [Yes, Matt and Taylor are knowledgeable and skilled enthusiasts, but 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. Ian Halm Campton, NH [I have an Exmoor hood for summer use on both the QE I and the QM I, and also find them excellent products. Thanks for sharing your experience with us –ed.] rovers magazine / 4 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 Portland, OR [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. Leighton Ogg Houston, TX [Thanks for your support of the Land Rover community, Leighton –ed.]
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.] Above: Kara Frans of Kara Frans Photography
