SER1 Vermont

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/05/17]

Peter, Tom
 
Thanks for the info.  Yes I have Rover's North, D.A.P., and Abingdon Spares
on the hit list.  
Peter, yes I would love to do some off-roading.  What do you suggest?  
I inquired about shipping my LR up there but they quoted US$1995 each way.
That won't work.  Before everyone tells me to just drive it there..... I
already tried.  It's a 1600 mile trip, each way.  SWAMBO has made it clear
this is a family vacation and that we wont spare a week each way driving the
LR so that I (and my son) can get our thrills!  (Diana, maybe you can talk
some sense into her.)
 
Anybody in the Northeast want to rent-a-rover for a couple of weeks????

Ben, I'll get something together for you, at least a visit to Woodstock.
Did you want to do some off-roading?

I also have a webber and I'll never go back!
 
To our New England (and Canadian) area list members:   I will be on vacation
for about 3 weeks in June near Burlington, Vermont.  Are there any LR type
activities or events going on then?

Ian, I love my webber and it installs in a snap onto the 2-liter with a mere
reversal of the throttle linkage arm at the carb.  Did wonders for my '57
107" SW.

Hi Ian,
if you are willing to dismantle and rebuild a second hand Solex carb (pics 
available), you can call Red Dragon Restorations, Mr. L.Stafford Dovey, in 
the UK, tel. +44-1597-810058, and he will surely find you one. All necessary

replacements parts have so far been available over the internet and I couls 
give you all necessary addresses.
good luck
