when I show up at <strong>Rover</strong>s North! There’s a<br />
very dedicated group of technical support<br />
staff in Westford and we agree they make a<br />
huge difference for <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts<br />
everywhere –ed].<br />
Hello,<br />
I was hunting for some Land <strong>Rover</strong> information<br />
and came across wonderful advertisements<br />
for Land <strong>Rover</strong>s from the 1950’s. They<br />
were a delight to read. Enjoy and keep up<br />
your good work. You got me even more<br />
addicted to Land <strong>Rover</strong>s and I get even more<br />
crap from my wife! I wish I could have one of<br />
those 1950’s Land <strong>Rover</strong>s brand new but I am<br />
still happy to have my ’93 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong><br />
LWB that I got back in 2005, with only 54,800<br />
miles, for $5,000. She has about 62,500<br />
miles to date.<br />

[Through Land <strong>Rover</strong> parts support and the<br />
additional resources of <strong>Rover</strong>s North, you<br />
can basically rebuild a classic Series <strong>Rover</strong><br />
so that it’s as “new” as when it left the factory.<br />
It’s a bit harder with Series I Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s, given the number of unique and<br />
NLA parts on them. Land <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong><br />
Parts and <strong>Rover</strong>s North can keep your<br />
<strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> original and authentic<br />
for years to come –ed]<br />
Hey Ya’ll!<br />
What a wonderful magazine you have! I love<br />
reading about the wonderful times, places<br />
and adventures other folks have.<br />

Solihull Society and the Rocky Mountains.<br />
You can have wonderful times and adventures,<br />
too. When you do, let us know about<br />
them –ed].<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
Thanks for your help with parts and advice<br />
for my Defender 90 SW. Lucky for us, our<br />
2004 Discovery (the one that doesn’t look<br />
like an Explorer) hasn’t needed anything yet,<br />
but based on our previous two Discoverys, its<br />
only a matter of time!<br />

lines of the Discovery for its ill-fated<br />
Expedition, not the Explorer –ed]<br />
Dear <strong>Rover</strong>s North,<br />
I’m the former owner of two <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><br />
<strong>Classic</strong>s and the current over of an 88” and a<br />
109”, both RHD and extra cool. Thanks for<br />
your great magazine/catalogue and all the<br />
great service we’ve received from y’all. Stay<br />
warm up there!<br />

here. And if you need parts delivered to the<br />
coast, say next February, please ask for me<br />
directly! –ed]<br />
Dear <strong>Rover</strong>s North,<br />
I’m a Discovery I owner always looking for<br />
Series or Defender 110 project when dollars<br />
aren’t an issue. Plus, I know that <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
North will be there for all my needs.<br />

makes it easier than ever to purchase<br />

you no matter which <strong>Rover</strong> model you<br />
choose for the future –ed.]<br />
Dear <strong>Rover</strong>s North,<br />
Thanks so much for your wonderful magazine/catalogue!<br />

Dear Editor,<br />
I love your magazine, especially the “Behind<br />
the Steering Wheel” section, but I love the<br />
articles, too.<br />

[James, I couldn’t have said it better<br />
myself. Of course, the publisher will believe<br />
that I conned you into writing such complimentary<br />
remarks –ed]<br />
Dear Mark,<br />
Willie Nelson is a legend here in Texas. Some<br />
will immediately conclude that Texas must<br />
have a very small pool of legends from which<br />
to pick. Be that as it may, there is a line from<br />
one of Willie’s songs that says, “I know more<br />
ole drunks that I do ole doctors – so let’s<br />
have another round.” I got to thinking about<br />
that line in Willie’s song after reading the<br />
recent “Behind the Steering Wheel” article<br />
about Mr. Brian Carvey and his ole <strong>Rover</strong>. I<br />
think we could say “I know more old <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
than I do ole Cruisers so let’s go out down the<br />
road.”<br />
Thanks, Mark, for all you and your crew, do.<br />

[Except for certain decisions out of the<br />
Texas Legislature, we never question Texas<br />
legends – we figure they’re true. Reading<br />
the “Behind the Steering Wheel” column<br />
has many readers reaching for another<br />
round, too –ed].<br />
Dear <strong>Rover</strong>s North,<br />
Perhaps it’s time to run another article on<br />
safe practices with a Hi-Lift (type) jack. On<br />
page 25 of the Spring 2007 <strong>Rover</strong>s North<br />
News - the photo on the right hand side of the<br />
page. Certainly, there is a better example of<br />
jacking in the vast RN photo library. If not,<br />
let’s do a photo shoot. I hate to be one of<br />
“those types,” but you know exactly why I’m<br />
on about this. Best regards,<br />
Jeff Berg<br />
Malden, MA<br />
[Yes, Jeff, we share mutual friends who<br />
have suffered injury from unintentionally<br />
incorrect use of the farm jack. Our photo<br />
shows a Hi-Lift at work on a snowy field<br />
elevating a Defender while the crew has the<br />
front tire off the car. The jack handle is<br />
pointing out at 90 degrees, never a good<br />
move. I’m often getting stuck in off road<br />
situations, so maybe we can collaborate on<br />
that photo shoot –ed.]<br />
