What to do with the old 91

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
You asked

I did ask & I appreciate your answer, but what I was really getting at was why a 'foreign' RR as opposed to Jeep, Chevy Blazer etc.?

nb: sorry guys, but I feel justified in spelling J..P in full as the OP is in home territory :rolleyes:
 
Good question
I guess good things just happen
I go to junk yards a lot
They are filled with Jeep’s and at one time blazers
I didn’t want one of those
Another expensive junker
I didn’t go out and say
I’m going to get a Land Rover
It just happened
I always thought they were for the wealthy
I was wrong
They are for people who want to stand out
When I drive the classic
Everyday
I am the only one
There are more in the area
But only a few
Also I’m an army brat
Born in Germany
Lived in different parts of the world
But mostly in USA
And hey
We did our dna
And it’s like 100%
European
Mostly from Britain and scandanavia
Guess it is in my blood
To love
My Range Rover
They were ahead of there time
And easy to work on
 
Thank you
I take the that as a compliment
The accident of being a rover owner
Turned out to be awesome
I like my story of ownership
I’m sure there are more
Interesting story of how people got and why they got
There first Land Rover

And you guys
Landyzone is alive
