I hope my 109 will keep up with your truck!!!

I followed my father home at about 60 or 65. he was in the green 88 IIA and I was in the green 109 5 door tdi. I don't mind going slower, plus convoying was cool. I think you said you had an overdrive in that if so it is much quieter than ours. yours must be in good shape.

They are great rigs...

stolenheron · 02-19-2008, 08:36 AM

CliftonRover · 02-19-2008, 03:30 PM

the 200 tdi we have goes over 85 mph , but its not comfortable

stolenheron · 02-19-2008, 03:34 PM

whats the speed record for a series rover lol?

pickuprover · 02-19-2008, 04:56 PM

well at one time my speedo was reading over 90 mph.... but then it dived promptly to the peg as it died... considering I was only in second gear, I highly doubt that reading was accurate...

uphill or down??? faster down hill...slower uphill!!! then if the wind is hitting you in the face...slower. if the winds are tickling the fanny, FASTER !!!

stolenheron · 02-19-2008, 07:55 PM

downhill with a tailwind will count (sails and jato rockets can count)
