Just wanted to warn you guys about this vehicle for sell.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2406432180&categor y=31849

I was emailed by a guy that recognized the rig as being Kevin Collins' D-90. The problem is... my understanding this is what happen to Kevin's rig:
http://www.d-90.com/bio/kevinc.html

Scroll down to the one where its on its side. The truck didn't sell the first time and they have relisted it so watch out guys. By the way I like the bit they wrote about it never being in the an accident.

Yup, that's Kevin's rig, and Kevin has been warning people about it both on EE and on the yahoo group.

I think the accident happened where someone plinked him from the side in the rear tire, at very low speed. I know their was little, to no body damage, but obviously the windshield blew out.

I think he owns at least 2 other rovers and I think he's looking for another D90.

He's a good guy, I'm sure if anyone was interested in the truck, they should contact him direct to get the real story.

It seems to be a well setup rig, just not for the money that bogus dealer wants for it.

At least they finally changed the listing. The last time is was up on eBay, the entire description listed for the truck is for a Mercedes Benz.

It looks like a sweet rig. I would buy it. Not for what they are asking, but if it was a good deal and I had the money, and if that accident was all that happened to it, I would probably buy it.

It was flipped on it's side after being hit, and was in the body shop for a looooong time. The more they dug into it, the more damage they kept finding. Don't know if the frame was bent or not. Best bet is if you're really interested, contact Kevin directly.
