Just snagged 2 2-packs!!! Hmmm.... maybe I should try to sell a couple of them - parts for tge Rover! LOL Nope, 1 is to try, 1 is to save and the other 2 will be gag gifts for Christmas.
'63 SIIa 88 Land Rover Station Wagon. Not yet finished, but getting closer. Attached are pics from the day Grover arrived (rough shape) and a couple or so current pics. Once finished the adventure trailer build will begin.
And that's what I'm talking about. I have no problems whatsoever with a person making a profit, but 3, 4 or more times the actual product cost... they give free enterprise a black eye IMHO. And those friggin' idiots who pay those prices... well, at the saying goes "a fool and his money are...

IMHO the 1910s - 1930s is the 'Golden Age' of vehicle assisted adventure overlanding, expeditions and safaris. A side hobby is...

I'll have to double check, but I think it's in Main or upstate NY, and I want to say it'sthe Winter Romp. That area of the country - New England, the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic - are the main areas for most of the biggest events. Several are in Pennsylvania, but I'm not aware of any going on...
Kanda sorta related.... Every year there is a Land Rover event hosted by a Rover club in the North Eastern US. Everyone gets together and camps on private property.
Each year one of the main guys who helped plan the events would purposely show up around 2 or 3 in the morning. He would drive...
Actually there are several here in Kansa, but most are for motorcycles, quads and such. The one you might be thinking of is probably 'Kansas Rocks Recreation Park' in Mapleton, Kansas.
I wouldn't mind seeing Disney, but not with the crowds. Are they even still allowed to have the big jeep...
I hear ya... I'm just south of Wichita and there sure isn't a lot of interest. The is one jeep group, with members in my area, but they only go to places like Moab as a group, they don't seem to do anything around here.
