'75 SIII 109 Diesel - I'm in deep.
You know your driving a series when you pack 2 jerry cans one for 5 gallons of gas and the other one is 5 gallons of engine oil......... You know your driving a series when your passenger asks whats that noise ....and with a puzzled reply you ask witch one????......... You know your driving a series when after you stop and the smoke clears you realise the only thing that has made it this far is you and a moose....................................Keep on trucking!
YOu head for the national rally, only 300 miles away and it takes four days only to turn around 50 miles short. You drive home and break down for the fifth time 14 miles from your destination and get towed back. Again!
I love your lists - hilarious and so damn true!

You inherit a box of extra parts along with the truck from the previous owner, and you. make. every. single. one. of. them. WORK!
... when you can turn right using only your brakes and not the steering wheel
You know your driving a series rover when.....your spare tire on your hood isn't just a hood ornament, but a safety feature to prevent the hood from opening when your driving on the highway.
You don't have to worry about someone stealing your truck, one look inside at all the levers & switches, knob's,red,black & whatever else you may have in the cabin.........they will leave you alone as most folk's have no idea what they are looking at
BUILT IN BURGLAR ALARM .............
I spent most of my money on women & cars, the rest of it I just wasted.......
- The smell of gasoline that has run down your arm after dealing with yet another fuel issue on your way into the office.
- carrying a spare set of axle shafts around in the back (although not anymore as the old goat has 24splines and a Detroit in her)

Best thing about working in the northern Canadian bush at -40, very few Black Flies!

when you glad you left your dash panel hanging on wires so you could see the arching behind the panel to help determine the source of your shorting out ignition circuit.
