I got the court order for the PA title on Monday. So I am finally legal, well almost. I need to get an inspection, but the Rover is not even close to passing that yet.
Anyway, I drove the Rover to fill it up with gas today for the first time and NOW I understand why these trucks are SO SLOW. It is the Old Land Rover talking factor. Three people walked up and started asking about the Rover. It only took a minute to fill it up with gas, but there was fifteen minutes of conversation. I stopped to get milk and it happened again. No wonder it takes so long to go anywhere in an Old Rover
Frankly it dose not drive fast, the brakes are not very strong and right now it handles like a cardboard box in the wind. But it is SO MUCH FUN to drive! I am not sure why. It will just barely go fifty on the flat land and I am too afraid to drive it any faster because it jumps all over the road. It is a fun driving challenge while I get the steering sorted out.
This weekend I will take it up into the mountains on the forest roads and then see how it does off road. I think I will take a cell phone and supplies. In case a get stranded in the wood - by the Old Land Rover talking factor.
