How to know when you're a Land Rover owner: -If you go to get the Sunday paper and come back on Monday without it. -If you use a hose to clean the inside and the outside. -When the best route from point A to point B is through the mud. -When a scratch or a dent is a beauty mark. -You roll your Rover over and look for it's thingy. -Your mom and sister can't get in without help. -You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb. -You search for trails in an USAF helicopter. -You puke when you see a Geo Tracker. -You get custom pin-striping from trail brush. -If it takes more than 6 hours to get donuts. -When you pull into the unplowed parking spots on snowy days. -When you take your friends wheeling and they say "What trail -I don't see a trail!" -Your friends won't ride with you 'cause they don't want to wind up in the desert in the middle of the night. -When your boss's secretary calls to "recommend" that you wash your Rover -When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new Rover. -You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up. -When your Nerf bars battle rocks and win. -When it rains and you don't care that your tops and doors are off. -When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless. -When you change your plugs in the parking lot at work on a break. -If your "Parts Dept." is on blocks behind your house. -When you take your Mom wheeling and she has to help you flip the Rover back onto its wheels again. -You use an ice-scraper on the INSIDE of the windshield. -You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents. -Every page of your repair manual has fingerprints. -Passengers scream "DON'T ROLL IT!" when you take them wheeling. -You spend more time under your Rover than under your significant other. -Winter comes and you can't remember where you left the roof. -You spend more on car washes than on insurance. -Even worse the car wash won't let you in. -You complain about everything but smile when you fix everything yourself. -When you think Mud Brown should be a factory paint color. -When you feel sorry for someone in a $60,000 Toyota Land Cruiser. -When you have all your credit card numbers memorized. -When you slam the door and part of your Rover crumbles to the ground. -If you get asked to pick up your co-workers in a snow storm and get paid for it. -Your wife/girlfriend refuses to get in it. -You are the only one on the street who doesn't plow their driveway. -You try to run the plow trucks off the road when it snows. -You have a high-water mark INSIDE the Rover. |

While standing outside the LR dealer looking at a Defender 90 my wife asks " Is this thing water tigh?" Brian answers "One day Toyota engineers wanted to know how air tight a landcruiser was. Before they left for the evening they placed a rabbit in the landcruiser. The next morning when they returned the rabbit was dead. Landrover engineers herd this and decided to give it a try. Before going home for the evening they placed a rabbit in a Defender and the next morning when they returned the rabbit was gone " we now own that Defender and love it. |
