    I might have found the pinnacle of my rover stalking career this past week. I was on my way to West Virginia for a service trip with my fraternity and somewhere in Ohio I spotted this behind a garage under a tree:




    Location to be kept disclosed for now..

      Awsome find Rob. You are just the type of guy to GRAB it! I love the shape of that box, unusual, is it 24 volt?

        Rob, I hope you get that or at least find out if it can be bought! That's awesome!

          Rob,

          Do you have an update on the 101 you found?
          Did you buy it?
          is the owner willing to sell?

            Dave,

            Unfortunately school got the best of me and I did not have time to follow up with the 101. I'm ashamed to say I didn't even make a phone call. But I did some sleuthing and found the website of the garage it was stashed behind. Holt BMW Motorrad in Athens, Ohio. If you're up for it I would say its worth a call. Let me know if you find out anything. http://www.holtbmw.com

                        Linus I am jealous of you. Not only do you have a 109 pickup but you're towing it with a Dentside Ford. Actually the two vehicles I want more than any other.
                        I hope they're both good to you.

                          On the road to Hana in Hawaii... couldn't get closer for better photo(s) but was worthy of stopping for a pic.
                          Hope she's rescued soon!
