Yeah Portland is about 2.5 hours south. I'm reletively new to Maine only about 1 1/2 years. The Down East Land Rover Club (http://www.delrc.com/) could get you started, but I don't know much about them. And there is East Coast Rover (http://www.eastcoastrover.com/) which is about 1 hour southeast of Bangor. Great shop & always busy.

ooops forgot about ECR!!! AWESOME bunch of guys...especially if you want to do any mod's, like put the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

Those guys come highly recommended!

There seems to be an endless amount of logging roads in the northern half of Maine. I think they are accessable. Could be Maine's answer to Greenlaning

Thanks for that. I've checked out the ECR web site and they look like great people to get to know. I guess the lack of Defenders in the US makes people a lot more resorceful at updating and modifying Series vehicles. I don't think I'll be swapping the steering wheel anytime soon, but that 5-speed gearbox conversion looks great. I can just hear my credit card growning already!

Once I'm moved and settled I'll have a wonder up north and check out some of those loggin roads.

But as I remember from my last visit, some of the "main" roads in northern Maine weren't much more than dirt tracks anyway! I also loved the fact that so few people actually go up there they haven't bothered to name the townships and just numbered them!

Cheers,

moses.
