    Leave the Disco at home and drive the series to work every day between now and Sept 24th and give yourself your own encouragement!

    There's no better way to know she'll make it--It'll be just another drive, by then.

I can assure you that for me it is worth the trip just to see the great people that I met last year. If Jason and Jason read this I'm planning on camping with you guys Sat night. All I hope is that the bits I need to finish my Rover will arrive in time and that it is back together.

        You gonna be at Creighton that weekend?
        yea my next break will be october 16-24. My dad came up with me last year and had a ball, he shouldn't have any trouble taking the 109 by himself or with my brother this year.
        Omar, your about 45 minutes from me (without overdrive lol) and petersham is about 3 hours from me taking backroads. Entirely do-able in your truck

            I'm not sure whether Don cares if you let him know, in advance, that you'll want to be selling stuff, but to call it a 'swap meet' is puting a bit of color to it. It's very small, 2x very informal, and usually only 4 or 5 people bring stuff to sell. The best for buyers is when Don invites you up to his barn.

              I do drive her to work when the weather is nice, on back roads. I have not done any engine, tranny, or anything to her. She is pretty much original minus the paint about 6 years ago. Shooting for just changing all fluids including diff, transfer cas, ect. She drives beautifuly though.

                Don's Barn is the Holy of holies in terms of rover parts. It really should be a parts exchange for everyone else and save your pennies for that barn. By the way I have a NADA D90 front wrap around brush bar that could be restored. Free to to someone who will use it. I don't care if it turns into your kids see-saw, just use it.

                  Well, I'm going to try my best to get up there because I'd like to meet you all and broaden my knowledge. Do people come without Land Rovers, too? If possible, I'd like to tag along with someone in their Series on the trails.

                    You shouldnt have any trouble finding a ride for any of the short trail rides throughout the weekend, the greenlane to breakfast on sunday is the best next to the trials course on saturday.

                      Oh yea, I forgot to ask. Wasn't looking to off road my truck, not really in any shape to mash her around. Is that ok? Don't want to be a priss, but I use my disco for boppin around.

                        Now that we are in December, any one heading to the all metal dash?? Looking to convoy up with some CT or RI people, or anyone traveling through RI. Hopefully my truck will be running by then.

                          newbie...

                          This will be my first time. I wish I had known it was only 35-45 min away.
                          If anybody breaks down You can keep it in my barn for as long as needed, the wife let me put up a 40x60 "shed last year just for the landy, it fits nice and snug... george the series 3 will be coming this year , with a new bumper from Ike , ( if the bloody thing ever ships, 2 months and counting)
                          Whence came you my brother ? From the East....

                                I'll be there Friday evening, around 7 ish.
                                Depends on the drive down I-89 and the weather (of course).
                                Will need some sustainace by the time I get here....
                                Looking forward to a great Roverin' weekend, with Don Flye's great hospitality at the core.
