Is it too early to discuss this? Is it in the planning stages yet?
I'd love to come up this year for my first time with my Wrangler so I can be surrounded by Series and continue to lament having to sell my IIa in 2003. :(

Thanks, Rob!
You gonna be at Creighton that weekend?
Rob, you should come back that weekend. This way I have someone in my convoy. Hopefully I have my frame patched up and a few things squared away by then. I hope I can make the drive, I get a bit nervous driving her too long.
I'd like to join the party this year .I'm about 4-5 hrs away and not entirely comfortable about driving my rig all that way @ 45 mph .Would I be looked down upon if I trailered up and back.:o
^^ Not by me!! I was thinking the same thing and I'm only 1.5 hours away.
I drive down from Brewer Maine and am looking forward to attending this year. It is 6 plus hours one way to get there and the least of my worries is if my Rover will get me there and back. 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.

There are many folks who bring their vehicles on trailers, though 3 years ago I drove my Airportable down I 89 from Vermont, no less!!
:eek:
Question about the swap meet:
Do you need to register or do you just bring whatever parts you've got?
Hmmmm, I would rather not trailer it and cross my fingers. I'm in rhode island, so if anyone wants to convoy up, I would welcome the opportunit for the slow awesome, I'm sure eventful, ride.It says only 1.5hrs, I am assuming series time is 5hrs. Some one give me encouragement and tell me she will make it!
Come on guys I drove mine the first year all the way from Michigan.
:D
Steve
Hmmm...assuming yours is completely rebuilt?? Haha
It would be a fun ride. Unless you got stuck behind me.:eek: There would be a Conga line backed up to the NYS thruway!!!
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 :thumb-up:
-Rob
Carey,
You are more than welcome to come along if you want to.

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.
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.
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)
im going up as well
from norwich ct
its pretty much a strait shot up 32.
shouldn't be any problem.
Rob I saw wes at work the other night
said he was gonna try and get up there
had to change out bushings on the 109
not sure if im going fri or sat
when are most people planing on going up?
aaron
Anybody showing up Fri evening? If so when?
Jim
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.
You read my dialogue too well.......:cool:
I'm coming up Friday .Hope to be there before the sunsets.
im shooting for friday afternoon
Probably gonna head over directly from work-- leaving around 2pm on Friday so I can really take my time--It's only an hour, fifteen minute drive for me.
Friday for me as well. Ill be taking backroads and meandering there hopefully. Might pull the son out of school a bit early as he seemed to beam with pride when I pulled him out of school early a couple days ago for new years services.
I'm leaving Brewer around 8am. I need to swing by Warren and pick up my fuel can carrier and plan to stop at OE in Eliot. I should be there by mid to late afternoon.
Jim
I am thinking about heading friday afternoon, make it there before sunset, take a half day from work. Anyone want to head up together from RI. I know there are some CT folks going. Rob, tell Wes if he wants to meet up.
Any one want to Convoy? I have a 67 2A 88 and may either leave Friday evening or Sat morning.
Anyone else going down from VT, down I-89 on Friday?
:confused:
