Highlight of the Day!!! (Met an LRCLV Member) - Land Rovers Only

01001010 · 02-09-2006, 10:57 AM

So im workin at my desk, doing the normal putting people on hold, avoiding meetings with CEOs and doing some paperwork for export orders, when this British Fellow comes in and asks...who's Land Rover is that outside? I spring up and say Mine! The guy's face lights up (so does mine) and we just start ramblin about rovers! He tells me he's here from Las Vegas and that hes a Member of LRCLV. He's got a 98 Disco with a bunch of RTE goodies.

It started when he was driving on the FREEWAY!! infront of our business, when he saw my truck outside! He got OFF! the freeway, and somehow found his way here to the shop (its a little difficult to find the place). You KNOW hes a Rover enthusiast!!! We exhancged numbers and websites...of course I gave him a post-it with links to LRO and MR. and my screen name. THe guy's name is Pete. He mentioned he was good friends with Andy from LRCLV. So Andy if you're on here, you've got a good pal there.

Its amazing how our community is so friendly and open to meeting fellow enthusiasts. The guys here at the shop thought it was a little weird and one of them thought it was even a little queery. I say screw them!

Highlight of the day indeed!

That's cool JC! Now imagine how many people would stop if you had an old series....

It's an illness. I do it all the time. My wife usually reminds me that "we don't have time for that." Or she sees that look in my eye and says, "don't do it".

So share his website with us you dope!!!
That's like saying, "my sister is so hot". And then not sharing the photos.

Wait...er...who has the hot sister?

He told me he would be back next thursday and that He'd have his truck here with him. When that happens, I'll snap a bagillion pics for everyone. He's a real nice guy, I'm gonna give him a call on Sat to see if he'd like to come wheelin with me, estbnq, and one of the members from MR with a G4

01001010 · 02-09-2006, 07:53 PM

From the description he gave me, this seems to be Pete's truck, on the right...

keptin · 02-09-2006, 08:29 PM

Hey thats awesome! Similar to what happened to me last week with the D90 owner.

I found on this site a guy with this rack.....it looks like an SD/NWP but its flat, not contoured......anyone know which rack it is?

01001010 · 02-09-2006, 09:32 PM

I think I've seen something like that on Pangea. Im meeting up with the guy on Sat hopefully and next thursday so I'll ask him

DiscoPilot · 02-10-2006, 07:26 AM

Looks very NWP ish its possible he called and asked them to make one flat instead of contoured Pangea was my other though but I can't recall seeing that before

01001010 · 02-16-2006, 11:03 AM
