classic 91 range rover owner - Land Rovers Only

gregalderette · 02-20-2008, 01:20 AM

After being in a pile up on the freeway which totalled my ford focus i was forced to find a car fast. I owed on the ford and was only given a few thousand dollars to get another from the insurance company. I asked a really good friend of mine John Gadd, an avid rover dude if he had anything for me. He told me to come by that he had a classic 91 county edition range rover. I admit I did not know anything about the history or perfomance of landrovers but once inside i fell in love. I was definately bitten by the rover bug. I love it bone stock but have allready began modifications, brush bars hella lamps, ect... I think next on the list is roof rack. (anyone have one for sale that would fit?) Anyways after driving many cars in my life i believe i finally found the truck i've been looking for. Big boxy noisy gas guzzlin fun!!!

Welcome aboard. And welcome to the addiction. Get yourself on meds, quick. I can't believe anyone would actually admit to having owned a focus, though. Brave man. Enjoy the truck, that's a great model you acquired.

Going from a Focus to a Range Rover in one leap is like giving up scoring on your buddy's sister and going straight to high class call girls in Vegas!!!!111
Take it slow. Get some workshop manuals.
And WELCOME to <strike>VEGAS</strike> Land Rovers.

Welcome man! Glad you like the Rover, mods do become addicting! Just wait till you get a chance to go off road and play!

thanx guys, i can't wait to get in some dirt!

Enjoy but hold out on the blingcessories like lights and a roofrack until you get to use the truck a bit. I think you will find you would rather have spent the $$$ on springs, shocks and tires. A as crusty Rover mechanic told me "A rack full of lights will just show you where you're stuck."

Dude thats great! My 1991 is super reliable, it's all stock, but I will be adding lift springs this summer.

this truck is running great! thanx again for some of the advice, forgot to mention it allready had some modifications with discovery springs, i removed the lift and tires however for an easy road ride and am now reconsidereing my decision.
