Hello all. Just an introduction post from a new member and relatively new Land Rover owner; in northern Italy now and (importing vehicle) to United States next summer. Loved the look, feel, history and adventure associated with Land Rovers since childhood (lots of excitement with little knowledge...). Became the proud owner of a 1988 Defender 110 about 10 months ago (yes, I know - technically an Land Rover 110 without Defender name). Have done a lot of work on it so far and have plenty more work ahead of course. The vehicle is solid and getting better daily!

Thanks for the welcome and looking forward to learning from everyone.

You better hurry it up a bit. The US may not be here by next summer.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I am near Vicenza. I'm with ya, Western Slope...US may not be there, at least not in the way I want it to be. I might create my own enclave and fight it out from there...
