When you drive a few hours to see family the first thing they ask when you arrive, "You made it alright? You're still keeping that thing going?"
And the second thing they ask, "You parked on the street right? The last time you left oil all over my driveway."

you know your a Rover owner when -
You roll Your Rover over and look for it's thingy.
You think Mud Brown should be a factory paint color.
You go out to get the Sunday paper only to return on Monday without it.
You puke when you see a Geo Tracker.
You use a hose to clean the inside and the outside.
If someone starts singing The Roy Rogers Show themesong, you start thinking about the weekend.
You get custom pin-striping from trail brush.
The one which is bound to offend:
"What's the difference between a porcupine and a Range Rover?" A Range Rover has the pr$*k on the inside."

You know you own a Land Rover:
When you are the only person on your block with a European import on jack stands spilling oil in the driveway.
When your neighbors of several years still can't decide if you are wealthy or stone broke.
When you regularly brave the valley in the shadow that lies between standard and metric.
When every paragraph you type looks as if someone has spilled a bag of vowels upon it.
Cheers,
Kennith

When you realize that a gambling habit would be more cost effective.
When you are 1000 miles away from home, in a state you've never visited before, and you see a worked up Disco I and you realize that you actually know the driver's DWeb screen name.

You refer to vehicle accessories as "kit".
You have at least two pieces of kit on your vehicle that you have designed and made yourself.
You think the Land Rover badge would make a bitchin tattoo.
You have designed your own version of the "New Defender".
You drink Land Rover coffee because you met the grower while fourwheeling in Costa Rica.
You miss the good old days of the Camel Trophy and think that the G4 is for whimps.
You have considered enlisting with the British Army in the middle east so you could drive a Wolf in the desert.
You have been planning the "expedition of a lifetime" for several years.
Namibia is on your list of vacation destinations.
You are counting the days until the first Defender models will be 25 years old so that you can buy them cheap overseas.
You actually care who buys Land Rover.

There was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel, where they went to BFE South Africa to visit a monkey orphanage (don't ask). Anyway the owner wanted to take the TV host to visit the local chieftan. Well, first they have to fix the "truck."
It's a 50 yr old Rover pickup. The exhaust came loose, so they knock the mud off the muffler, and reattach it. Truck fires right up.
The funniest part was as they are driving down the road, the cameraman is in the bed of the truck and you can see a sticker on the rear glass of the cab:
"I'd rather push my Landy, than drive a Cruiser"

If your watching "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and your yelling at the tv to turn off the winch.. Then you look over at your buddy and say--If i were there i could have that truck fixed in ten minutes.
When you just move into a new house and while you dont have internet, you realize that you dont have reception either and you try your best to look for the corner that can atleast give you TWO bars, only so you could link your laptop to it and check out the forums!
Two Land Rover Design Engineers were in Arizona conducting hot weather trials on Solihull?s latest creation. In the bar that night they overheard two Japanese engineers talking about an up coming test they were going to carry to test the tolerances between the vehicle panels to ensure an air tight fit. Apparently this test involved putting a cat in the test vehicle Friday night and if on Monday the cat was dead due to lack of air the test was considered successful.
On their return to England Friday night the two LR guys duly placed their cat in the test vehicle and left for the weekend. On their return on Monday the cat had gone.

This is great! My wife just reminded me of another...
When you travel half-way around the world to Africa and most of your photos are of Land Rovers and only a few of wildlife.

When you go to the dealership and instead of having to talk to the service people you go straight to the back and get the real answer... and everyone knows your name
when you think you rover handles better with no sway bars

Every time you go to a parking garage you see the giant metal bar hanging with a posted height limit. You then frantically look at the visor and try to see if your car will fit. The only problem, the posted height is in feet and the visor posts the height in mm and inches. Under the pressure your math skills fail so you just look up through the sunroof and pray that your don't hit the bar.
At 90% of stoplights you cannot see the stoplight because your Rover is so high. You either
a) feel silly and slump down in your seat to see
b) feel stupid and stretch your neck forward to see until it hurts because you've been waiting for so long
c) don't move and wait until people start moving or cars start honking

When you call Will at Roverguy and he knows your number off caller ID.
When Park rangers call you to get them unstuck.
When you go to the Hummer dealer and ridicule Hummers on the "test" track.
When your 5 year old can recite the specs on why Land Rovers are superior to new Heep owners.
