      Winter romp

      Yup. The hounds of hell could not keep me away. George the Series 3 has been an ever present project every waking moment. Even the wife is coming this year. She says she will camp out in the hotel if the rover is not up to keeping her warm enough. I just finished a front crank seal and oil filter conversion and am doing the best I can to insulate the bulkhead and floor.
      Bottom line, I will walk there if I have to.
      Whence came you my brother ? From the East....

        I am hoping to make it to my first Romp, I have to get recovery points on my truck and some of the other required bits. The larger challenge is I have to convince my wife to let me leave her and our 1 year old for the weekend.

          We will be there

          Our '68 ambulance and kuvasz will be there once again. Anyone who can make the weekend it is well worth it. Bruce deserves and yearly award for all the work he puts into the Romp

              would a 1980 Land Cruiser FJ44 be allowed to attend? My rovers are not done yet and a friend just got his rhd FJ44 or FJ47 cannot remember which it is and might be interested in going.

                Not sure about my departure time, but I'm in Providence and would caravan with you and /or be an emergency pit stop with what tools I have if needed. I would definitely be more comfortable making the drive with other rovers owners, though I am guessing if you broke down on the way up, it wouldn't be long until someone went by.

                  You'd better run that by Bruce. I don't think he's too keen on people bringing non rover products, especially if he doesn't know you. I think he's had some less than desireable experiences with people of other vehicle cultures. But like I said, best to ask him. It's his event.

                    it will probably be a non issue....doesn't look like we or it will be ready...I think my friend has decided to hide the truck in the garage for the winter.

                      Friday morning

                      We usually try and leave Friday morning from Deep River and head up 395 at a relatively slow pace.

                        Dont say anything about the dayglow orange FJ. That will blend right in as soon as he finds a wheelbearing. Right?

                        Ill be camping/freezing in back looking for things to burn and or poke with a stick.

                          Looks like I might not be able to make it this year. There just isn't enough time in a day.

                            Is it silly to ask, what romp?

                            When, where, is it open?
