For this St Paddy's Day the club is putting on a delicious Irish Stew and some munchies & beverages. (sorry, no vegetarian option) Free for members & family.

Bring your Land Rover and wear you best greenery :alien: Even better if its a Green Rover-Landers shirt :bounce: We can bring you a new one if you want to buy one!
Family friendly event, bring the kids for a few hours on the beach!
Please let us know if your coming along so we can prep the right amount of food,

Hope to see you there
Cheers
Andy

Defender Wolf...

#10 Post by StuartL » Thu Mar 12, 2020 12:24 pm

For those interested I will be bringing my Defender XD - Commonly referred to as a Wolf to the celebration.

I am planning on selling it but not quite ready to list it as I am enjoying driving it very much. It is probably one of the best driving Defenders I have ever driven. It has about 72,000 km on it.

Check out the Wikipedia article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Wolf. The one improvement it doesn't list is that the heater produces warmth!!!

Great to see a keen response, we will bring along the club wind shelter and warming fire pit.
Dress warm, better to be too warm than a little chilly! see you there :glasses8:

Cheers

It was pleasant if a "tad" windy day, the Disco ran great tossed a couple of codes but nothing major all likely vacuum line related.

Little did we know a couple of weeks ago that Social Gatherings would be banned across Canada (and maybe the world) :shock:

Its good that we just slipped this one in, just before the S#%t hit the fan ...

Here is a link to a few photos in the RL gallery, to help remember the time when you could still gather in groups.

Now back to Social distancing ... be safe :?

Sorry I missed it. I arrived at 2pm as I could not get my wife and son motivated to get out of the house.

Sorry we missed you, after surviving 3 hrs of wind gusts up to 90 kph I think we were all a bit "chapped" around the edges. (The shelter nearly took off a few time)
So we packed up a little earlier than advertised. Hopefully you still enjoyed a walk around in the fresh air, its a nice spot at Porteau Cove.

I can understand. We spent a couple hours wondering on the beach. Very blustery but the scenery was beautiful albeit a little cold.
