Try to imagine -
Your Rover's pulled from you, and you're left with a CAR (yes I said CAR). Just some old
Japanese import jobber. Yes it's never in the shop except for oil changes and small maintenance
but you might as well be riding a bike. I have a shirt that says "I would rather be pushing a
Rover than driving a Ford." I now truly understand that verbage. I have never thought I would
miss my Rover as much as I have but I do. Everyday I want to kick myself for getting rid of it.
(It was really in AWESOME shape). It's really not just a car but a whole lifestyle thanks to
OKRovers. And where can you find a better mechanic than Dave. Or a nicer person to work with in
dealing with your car than Julie. I am really gloomy right now because I miss that truck so
much - can't even pull myself to come to a OKRovers meeting or visit the O'Brien Auto shop. It
hurts to see Rovers in town.
OK Rich - pull out of your depression - get real !!!!
I have literally NO money to spend on a car right now...but it doesn't keep me from looking. I
have got to get back into a Rover. It's really hard finding one in Oklahoma so there is ebay...
with lots in Dallas - but how can I tell a good one from a lousy one? I am not sure if I want a
Rover or a Disco. If I got a Rover I would want one that has been converted (NO AIR SHOCKS) or
if I got a Disco - I know I would want a 97 or newer. I love the inside of the Disco (always
have) even though it is a soccer mom car or High School kid car (careful Rich) - mine wouldn't
look fluffy after I got after it!!! But the Rangie is a classic and it's hard to beat offroad.
Did the 95 Rangies have air or real shocks? Are all 95's LWB?? With tax season upon us
(refund time) - I am going to do my very best to get back into a Rover of some sorts. Due to
money concerns it will also be my everyday driver so I need a dependable truck. |

To OKRovers Members:
I miss seeing everyone - I see people's trucks around town. Jim's Rangie, Mark's wife's new
Disco II, Randy's Defender, and of course David's Yellow Defender (I see one at UPS is that his?)
I miss the offroad adventures with OKRovers as well as the joint Ad-ventures with Green Country
Cruisers.
I hope everyone went and got CB's that is the true answer for communicating during offroad. And
I am sure there are all kinds of new offroading toys I need to learn about. Anyone offroading
with a Freelander yet?
"The Rover is your friend - he looks after you during the bad weather and gets you where you
need to be...."
