I dont know...I was thinking of doing this also...not for LRO, but for a local club. The thing is....its suprising how many people with rovers seriously dont care.....have no interest in wheeling thier 'rig'. Also keep in there are also those who are interested but have no computer skillZ.
Yeah for the most part I found that to be a waste of time from my experience doing it..

I get the same notion from other LR drivers that I see around Lima and Plymouth; they just drive them. To better put it in one way, they put gas in it and, well that's really the only fluid they would put in it and leave the technical to someone else.
Although I know of one owner who lives in Plymouth, my home town, and he owns two Discos, and I wonder if he is an enthusiast. Hmmm....

I will keep that in mind Josh. However, he/she might feel awkward to see another person with another Land Rover, preferably because, like you and I, we are almost too young to be driving LR's. But who cares?
I might stop on by, but be casual about it, not to make them think I am selling Girl Scout cookies or something.

LOL....I think by the time you got to the part about "forum speak" his brain would be melted.
naw....just ring the doorbell and introduce yourself and mension you noticed he had two discoverys and if he corrects you and says, "they are Discovery IIs..." then you have your man. Once you get past the idea that you also have a land rover and he seems to like them then the conversation will take its path. No worries.....if he is a good guy he might invite you in and talk....
....just watch out if he says he is very lonely and offers you candy
