While this may sound odd, and yes I realize I'm throwing my "newb" status out their for all to mock, :rolleyes: I'll ask the question anyway...

Do any of you know if there is a Guatemalan version of our beloved Series Rovers, called "Rand Rover?"

The reason I ask is, I work with a fellow from Guatemala and when I wore my fancy-schmancy new Rover t-shirt from cafepress to work the other day he pointed at the vehicles and said "Rand Rover, in my country they are very good truck."

He has a thick accent so I assured him he meant "LAND Rover" and he repeatedly told me in his country they are called "Rand Rover."

I searched the interent and this forum and came up with a big goose egg.

Do you all think this is a "lost in translation" phenomenon or does my Guatemalan friend have something here?

Was he by any chance drinking Tequila ?

This seems seasonally and topically appropriate:

Did the fellow from Guatemala look anything like Scooby Doo?

His name is Jackson and he pronounces it "Yackson" (I'm not making this up!) I guess that should have been a tell-tale clue!

Clearly, we need to copyright and print this on a shirt!

So, the new vehicle launched in 1970 would be the Lange Lover ?
