The Defender is the only other Rover I would take, for sure. Maybe a Disco II with the panorama roof, but that would have to come with a free diesel upgrade.

Hmmm. I was at a school play tonight. The school's located square in the middle of high-rent hills , so I always pay attention to the parking lot. Lots of high-end SUV's. The usual bevy of Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Denalis. A smattering Of Expy's. Lots of Acura, Lexus, Mercedes ML's, and Grand Cherokees. Not a Land Rover or a Porsche to be seen. Actually, I've seen maybe 2 Cayennes since they've come out.

I actually make a point of driving the '93 F150 to those functions , but it's Turkey hunting in Eastern Oregon.

Ever thought of inviting pro to such events???

I wonder what they would think of his beast?
Even if they don't like it (which is highly likely), he could run over a few of them (vehicles that is) and you could then go shoot some turkeys together

bwaahaahaa! Actually, the reason for the big number of SUV's was the number of mom's at the play. I know a huge percentage of the dads drive Ford and Chebbie PU's (ask me why I know this), but a Crew Cab is too big to fit in that parking lot.

Kid's hunting with his buddies- be interesting to see what they bring back.

I like the simplicity of the early Land Rovers, before the name Land Rover became some sort of status symbol. We had two at different times as I was growing up so I always wanted one myself. I found one in the backwoods a few years back, just beat to crap but the price was right so I bought it. It's a '61 88" Series II. I was thinking of eventually putting early Bronco running gear under it with a 289 or 302. But these new ones...I don't know. I liked the Range Rover when it first came out, got a ride in one when I was a kid in Sweden and was suitably impressed, but they just got too yuppy for me in more recent years... -TD
