The little Rover that could


Nanuq

Recommended Posts

I cut a bunch of green sappy spruce today and hauled it home for splitting. This load was easily 1,000 lbs and the Rover handled it like a breeze on a summer day. I have the 109 springs under it so it's usually *cough* stiff, and today it rode like a Cadillac. Climbing the 12% grade to Chez Nanuq it didn't hiccup or hesitate. I made many trips and now she's taking a well earned rest in the garage. Good girl.

 

Someone once said that Rovers, unlike most people, are capable of returning affection. I've spent a lot of time lately with the wrenches out and today she said "thank you". :wub:

Great to see one in the wild being used for its intended purpose. Although it'll take more than a few toothpicks in the back to upset it. Land Rovers have been built since 1948 and around 75% of all the ones made are still in use. A staggering statistic considering the use and abuse they get. Please keep this one soldiering on!

I have a friend who works for JLR and some of the prototypes he brings home ..... yes, well lets hope that they don't make it into production.
