Why do I like Land Rover
I got the 91 say by accident
I always wanted a 4 runner
But all the ones I looked at were small and junk
But there were several range rovers
Available
So I went and looked at them
The 91 had the heater assembly removed
But I drove it anyway
This was October 2009
It was a wow
Drove like a sports car very smooth
Didn’t get it
Went for a drive to look at another
It sold before I got there
Then drove a decked out discovery it
Ran hot
Went back and got the 91
Brought it home and next morning would not start
It had rained
Guess it was wet
That’s went I said to myself
What did I get myself into
Thought I had screwed up
But
After driveing it
I was hooked
Joined land rovers only and started asking questions
And figured it out
Drove it till it started overheating
About 5 years
The floor boards were out
They were patched already
Had the heads reworked and reinstalled
Still over heated
Also the drivers door wouldn’t stay closed anymore
So I felt I had gotten all I could out of that one
So I started looking
A friend had sent me a text with the 92
I waited a year before I looked for it
Found it
Good deal there
Did I mention I was hooked
These trucks are by far worth what it takes to keep them
If someone wants one here
All they have to do is hunt it down
I got the brown church rack at the junk yard
I have seen really nice rovers scrapped
But I salvaged as much as I could before they were shredded
Guess that sums it up
