"Bad Boys II" Toward the end of the movie, there is a rescue mission to Cuba. The first
sighting is a pair of Forward Control 101s. The second is a great chase scene between a Hummer 2
and a well used 109. The 109 keeps up the entire time and puts the Hummer to the test.

We found this Rover in an interesting place, the Knoxville Zoo. They had it in the African
animal exhibit area. And as you can see, they had it set up so the kids could easily play on
it.

Just caught the last few minutes of Roxanne - Darryl Hannah & Steve Martin, he's sitting

want to watch the whole movie just to see if there's more footage of the Rover.

Rangero
The armored Rangie is owned by a Central American from El Salvador. He had it armorized back in
'78 along with a Grand Waggoner that he has here too. |
He still has an '86 Land Cruiser down
there that is armored too. Family was in the coffee biz too. The 130 had a TD5 and had just sold to a Coffee Plantation owner 2 hours west of San Jose. Nice
guy. He was driving a Series IIa and this was his first new purchase. Said it cost him the
equivalent of $65K USD with the taxes.

Just got back from two week vacation in Italy. I was very surprised on how many and variety of
Land Rovers I saw. In Florence, the police cars were Defenders and Disco's. The police disco was
in Milan and the Series was in the town of Assisi. |
On the island of Capri, the fire and rescue
was a Defender. I saw defenders in every town I traveled through. Even saw a couple of military
Series trucks. The freelander is also very popular over there.

A few pictures of the G4 Competition Land Rovers at our local big tourist attraction
"Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World." These great looking trucks out on the parking lot captured my
attention more than the boats, fishing lures, and camping equipment. |
There were two carriers,
each with five trucks. It was a rainy day but I had to have a few pictures.
