I see a few Rovers around Idaho Falls, but mostly LR3s and newer DIIs. Just wondering if anyone knows of a Rover club in the area. I am afraid most of the owners are just looking for a status symbol. I drive my Series all over town and most of the other Rover drivers don't even give it a look. Most people don't seem to know what my Range Rover is either. There are a couple other RRCs here in Idaho Falls, but it's mostly just newer stuff. I am mainly looking for a club for parts swapping and that sort of thing, and maybe a couple trail rides and get togethers each year. Seems the true enthusiasts always have a few parts lurking about they are willing to barter with...
There's actually a series III just up the road from me, but he never drives it. It just sits in his back yard with a tarp on it... I have considered going to see if he wants to sell it, but last time I talked to him he seemed pretty attached to it. There are actually quite a few Discoverys around town, but they all look to be mall crawlers. I think we get Jackson Hole's used up stuff. There's probably a rover club over in Jackson, but my bank account balance probably isn't big enough to hang with those guys. I have seen one Defender 90, it appears to belong to the guy that takes care of the shipping and logistics for the Idaho National Laboratory (i.e. lucrative government contract...). I have yet to see another Series driving around. Most people that see mine call it a jeep or a land cruiser, I also get a lot of "what is that???". It's likely there's not even enough interest to start a club here.
