"That's right - we play polo using Rovers instead of ponies."

Buying the right tires for your SUV can be a daunting experience. All those manufacturers' claims sound good, but choosing the best tire for your vehicle requires a little bit of knowledge before the rubber hits the road.

An Auxiliary Light Primer! Thinking about adding auxiliary lights to your vehicle? You might be surprised at how far their performance has come recently over standard Halogen lights.

What a weekend, folks. Some of this is unbelievable, but I swear this is nothing but the truth....

J.L., of the Ottawa Valley Land Rover Owners, went out for a bit of 4x4-ing Friday, with a local club member's 88" Rover, (aquarover winner Keith Elliot), following me along. We brought a guy from work and his girlfriend along as well, they were riding in the back of the 109". We went out around his house, deep in the woods behind Ottawa.

Basically, we went snowmobile trail riding, and it got a little messy. "Valdy" was feeling particularly adventurous, and when a chance arose to ford a three-foot-deep stream, I basically put on a crazy face and charged.

We'd like to know what your all-time, must-have absolute favorite Rover Accessory is. This is the accessory you've either purchased or dreamed about purchasing for your Rover. The one accessory you'd choose if you could only choose one. (Although studies tell us the average truck in the United States has four - count 'em - accessory items on, in or under it.)

I was looking for a little project to work on over the winter and I found what I thought I was looking for in an ad in the Atlantic British classifieds. "A 1960 Series II, Needs work. Best Offer."

I called and the somewhat relieved voice on the other end of the phone told me I could have the car for free if I would just come and pick it up that very weekend. As this was solidly within my price range, I agreed immediately.

No doubt we'll be overcome in the next few months with news about the new Kalahari Disco II, which recently made its debut at the big New York Auto Show.

If you put a record on a record player (or a CD, if you're under 30) and spun it slowly you would notice that the outside travels a much farther distance than the inside. This is essentially what happens when you drive around a corner in your vehicle; the outside wheels must turn faster and travel farther than the inside wheels.

This difference is accommodated by the differential gears in your vehicle's axle housings. Without a "diff", your inside wheels would creak and groan trying to keep up, and you'd wind up replacing your axle shafts about as often as you change your oil.

It seems only fitting that - with so many car manufacturers entering the SUV arena - that Land Rover would cash in on its cache' to move into areas outside the strict SUV playing field.

Although the 2001 Discovery SE's price is up $250 from last year, it includes dual sunroofs and a six-disc CD changer as standard equipment.

It looks like BMW AG is planning on selling its engine plant at Longbridge, England - a big blow to MG Rover Group Ltd., which remains practically the only independent British car maker left.

The Freelander has emerged as the best-selling 4x4 in all of Europe. The four-door model Freelander is scheduled to arrive December, 2001 and, based on its success in Europe, Land Rover expects to sell 20,000 of them in a year.

Land Rover is eliminating up to 250 jobs at its legendary Solihull plant in England, as it is decreasing Freelander production by as many as 10,000 units.
