Hmm, judicious driving? You've seen my rover, I don't believe I've ever been accused of that.

you have seen mine, I think we had the same coach. I have pounded so many dents the wife says it looks like the truck has cellulite.

tha's funny, I guess it does sort of look like that. But still, you gotta love a good RRC trail rig.

Chuck - Dogs are allowed on the trails but not at the on site camping area, correct? How far is White Rocks from the Rally? Camping there is cool correct?

Anyone from Richmond making this trip?

I may be rolling down from Goochland, and another from Powhatan, but both probably Friday sometime earlier. I know a few others who are probably going from up this way. I will ask around.

Weather Report
Friday-Sunday, high of 84, low in the mid 60s, small chance of showers.

Nearly perfect.

@#!%, My Series has no engine and the Disco has no front drive shaft (took it out "just in time"). Guess I'm grounded. Sad

My biggest problem is $$$...got any spare?

Series: Engine is being rebuilt by a friend (this weekend I'll be handing him beer and cleaning parts).

Disco: Waiting on funds for a Tom Woods driveshaft.

Rovers are an expensive addiction.

Thanks for the offer but if I go I'm afraid I'd have to have my mail fowarded to my friends shop!
