Highlight of the day!...

[01001010]

So I'm driving home, on the way back from my girl's house earlier. It was already dark being that it was 8ish. Im passing a traffic light headed north on LeJune avenue and a block up the road, I'm about to pass a not so common shape...the shape was heading south and about to make a left so it was waiting for me to pass. As I pass the dark shape my keen peripheral vision picks up something ANY Land Rover nut or perv would automatically recognize... the word "Camel"..... I begin to press on the brakes to turn my head but when I do, the dark shape is already turning into a street. A block ahead, I gun it and make a right, go around the block, and try to catch the shape at the four way stop. I make it to the stop sign before it does, but I hold and wait for it to near so I can get a better look... not wanting to seem like a weirdo (although by now it already seems like it) I begin to move foward and as I do, I see the shape of an ARB front bumper. By now I have already determined what vehicle it was...

I pass slowly but because I was now in the path of the vehicle's headlights, I could not make any form of eye contact with the driver...I continue my path and what do you know...it turns and follows behind!...then I turn left to test the follow, AND IT DOES TOO!... So I stop and pull over on the side of the street, infront of someone's home. I come to a lightly squealing stop ( my brakes are nuts ), and it does too!...right next to my truck.

By now, I'm laying sight on the most kitted RRC I have ever seen in person! The window rolls down, an interior light is turned on, and out of truck comes a friendly greeting..."Hi there!" Becuase I had totally gizzed my pants by now, I slowly say... "DUDE...HI!"

The gentleman's name, Ozzie...the vehicle, a 1992 Range Rover Classic Vogue ready for world travel!!!

Ozzie says to me..."dude saw the Snorkel and I just knew!" I say, "I know man! I gunned it and turned into the streets to meet up! Thanks for stopping. The name's JC, pleasure to meet ya"...hand shake.

I won't go over the conversation we had about the specs, as we were there for about 20 minutes just going through the stuff on his truck!..lol ( not much to see on mine but he really liked the Scorpion Racing bumper ).

What a truck that is!....see for yourself...



The things that stand out...

• engine's been replaced with a 4.2
• it has some sort of heat extractor for the engine
• long range fuel tank that needs no skid plate
• TT lockers front and rear
• Safety Devices internal Roll Cage!!!
• and MUCH MUCH MORE!

Turns out he's the guy that put the show "Miami Ink" together for TLC, is a photographer, and a 4x4 shop owner... http://www.ozziesoffroad.com/

We exchanged numbers and hope to meet at the FLRC rally later in Oct.

What a day!

I see plenty of D90s and the odd series 3, even a D110 once in a blue moon, but nothing that cool. Plenty of D2s,RRs, RRSs, and LR3s trucking around rugrats to soccer games though.
