Hi there,
hmmm, what to say? Basically I want this nasty yellow (introduce yourself) reminder at the top of my HMVF page to go away. So here is my brief introduction.
German, living the DIY thing. If I can´t fix it, i won´t buy it, that is probably why I and this sort of a car named Land Rover met some day a decade ago. And we stayed together ever since, because this denty beauty of a whicked aloybucket has its own mind and opinion (I decide to start, she decides when to start, but we´ve always started so far) and I have in exchange for her "character" always something to repair. Fine, this is what I believe to be the secret of a longterm relationship.
So, yes I am in my way completely nuts with leafsprung Land Rovers. Nope, I personally don´t care the NOS-attitude and the rivet counting, but I do love bumping with my everyday 109 down to the carpatian mountains doing serious offroad camping and dent collecting or repairing these "you name it, i screw it"-automobilities. But even I can´t be always on the run, or hanging round my workshop, so I am running the serieblog (www.serieblog.de) with my Land Rover Archive as compensation for all the days when I can not handle a gearbox problem or a screwdriver or even broom my workshop due to other work. The wished to be archive is still more my pile of collected literature and scans, but it gets more and more organised and structured (now even with official written permission by Land Rover). I think this is the largest online library for period Land Rover related literature, but I can be wrong and in broad daylight it simply does not matter.
After some unwanted experiences I am opening it again bit by bit for public research and review. I am always interested in scans /pdfs of preciousof whatever is related with period Land Rovers. In exchange I offer full access.
uncut greetings, Guido
And now: please make this reminder go away, my notebook has only a limited resolution.
