ANY SERIES OWNERS LOCATED IN RHODE ISLAND

[rupertw]

Looking for Series owners in Rhode island. Or am I the only one?

[Cutter]

I'm in providence. I've only met one in person but I know there are at least 2 in town, many in Jamestown/Newport/ south county.

[rupertw]

do you know of any clubs locally? Rover hangouts?

[Cutter]

I'm not up on it, talk to Osajaj, I think he told me he wheels with guys from CT if I remember? Others I'm sure will chime in at some point. Might have been someone else, I was asking the same questions a while ago and then I had two kids....

I'm the guy from CT Omar wheels with. I made a facebook group for CT rover owners a few years ago. Its very informal, I post up when and where I'm going out and anyone who wants is more than welcome to tag along. I go to school in omaha so most of the events occur when I'm home on breaks. There will be a lot of gatherings this summer. Aaron and I will be mad dashing to get my 88 running before british by the sea, so I'll have a shop day or two. Then the big event is British By the Sea weekend (see the other thread http://forums.roversnorth.com/showthread.php?14416-British-by-the-sea), camp friday, off road saturday, go to the show on sunday all muddy. If you're on facebook I recommend joining the group, otherwise pm me your contact info and I'll keep you in the loop. https://www.facebook.com/groups/6134411996/?bookmark_t=group

The last big nonevent we put on was an expedition to allie's donuts, and my motor sh!t the bed, here's some pics: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151146866716886.432422.646291885&type=1&l=8af4c9eafd

[Cutter]

awesome - Fed Hill?
Yes, I'm guessing I was visiting Lilly Marlene's. Looking forward to pulling the roof off again, need to get a new windscreen though, mine has stress fractures around the hinges.

[Wolf323i]

Couldn't resist pulling over for that shot. Defiantly going to make it to British by the sea this year ( finally)!

[osajaj]

Alright!!! RI Rover people, lets meet up this week. My truck is going off Saturday am to be restored!!!! Like to meet you guys before i am out of the game for a few months!! Does Friday night work for anyone???? Not sure were we could meet up for a chat. Meet in the middle? I would be coming from EG, happy to meet down here or somewhere else. Let me know!

[SafeAirOne]

My truck is going off Saturday am to be restored!!!!

Restored? From what I remember of Metal Dash a few years ago, it's already in a pretty pristine and restored condition. Are you just having original dealer's window stickers installed?

;)

[osajaj]

Haha, she is pretty clean. But she is going to get a galvanized chassis, all pulled apart and cleaned up, brakes , suspension, etc. I hope next time you see her you will think it is even in better condition!

[cedryck]

Used to be a club called Bay state rovers, do not know if they are anymore, bah.

[osajaj]

Forrest, at Clifton Rovers down in CT.

[rwollschlager]

Forrest, at Clifton Rovers down in CT.

does that mean he's done with my stage 1?

[rupertw]

guys I'm up for a meet for sure. Not sure if Friday will work. I'm more responsive via email: rupertw@hotmail.com. Cheers!

[Wolf323i]

Mostly been cutting wood out here in foster if any of you guys are interested I feel like its a real good use of the marquis. 8050 if any of you want to make a day of it it could be fun. Ie burgers beer rovers chainsaws etc...

[sizod]

I'm in PVD/Pawtucket with a 73" SIII

[milhouse]

Haven't visited this forum for a few months, so I just saw this posting... I'm down in North Kingstown with a 1974 88". It's not back on the road quite yet as I'm finishing up a couple of things, but hope to be driving it within the next couple of weeks. I would be up for meeting up if there is a gathering!

[osajaj]

Truck is officially being restored! That means no rover wheels at this time, sad day.

[rupertw]

mate drop me an email at rupertw@hotmail.com . . . lets see if we can get a few people out to stare at each others Rovers and have some beer.

[rwollschlager]

I'm going to be taking a summer class during May, so unfortunately while I'll be studying coastal ecology in the gulf of Mexico, I will be missing British by the Sea this year. That being said, I would like to plan some get togethers in late June, July, or August. Some ideas I have: Newport Happy Hour and cruise, or a Watch Hill happy hour and cruise, an off road trip in eastern CT, and a shop day or 5 to get my 88 back on the road after its engine trouble. To those who joined the facebook group, I will post up with more information there, and I can post here too if there is interest.

[Wolf323i]

How about a meet up and convoy to British by the sea? I'm planning to shoot down for the day on sun 6/1.

I'll send each of you a pm to make sure you get this, but to all who live in this area, you NEED to check out the Muddy Chef Challenge II, taking place August 9-11 in Mystic CT, a literal stones throw from RI.

Never mind, answered my own question.

[tweaked]

I'm in Newport. 58 Series I 88" I have 3 other friends with rovers; 58 Series I 107", a Series III 109 3 door and a Series III 88". Coffee cruises sound good.

[rwollschlager]

a little far away, but if Forrest's thanksgiving rally doesn't happen, we should meet up Saturday November 30th (the next time I'll be home from school).

-Rob

[osajaj]

Coffees and cruises it is, seems like there are a good number of people in the area! This will be good.

Tweaked, is it your friend who has a blue 107?

Rob, depending when my rover is done that may not be far enough out.

[tweaked]

Hi, yes he has the blue 107. Keep me posted on a potential meet.

Kyle

[osajaj]

Sounds good! Yea nice guy said he has an 80" as well.

[rwollschlager]

I have a coffee and cruise planned for November 30th. Please see the thread titled "RI/CT Coffee Social and Off Road November 30th"
A great way to burn off thanksgiving is through driving your power-steering-less rover!
hope to see you there!

-Rob

[rwollschlager]

anyone interested in coffee and trails Saturday November 30th?

Resurrecting this old thread...Newly acquired 66 IIA 88 up in Cumberland. Would love a chance to meet some other RI series owners and have them console me through the bringing back the dead phase...

[osajaj]

I am always in for a coffee and chat. Just put the top back on my 88 last night. Welcome to the club.
