    G'day All

    Hi All, Reciently joined and thought I might say G'day, I moved to Perth from Vic earlier this year. I am a ROVAHOLIC (have 3 of them) and have been reading alot of the info in this forum and I think I will fit in quite well.

    A Quick Run Down on my obssions :

    Betsy my Mustard Ser 3 Ute with a 4.4 Leyland P76 Engine, Custom Checerplate dash, UHF, Dual batts, Bullbar, Winch, HID Driving lights, 35" BFG All Terrains. Coming.............. a 3.5lt Injected v8, Fairly Overdrive, Parabolic springs, Bobtail with custom shortened tray. She has been in storage in Vic for the past 6 months and I just went over gave her a birthday and drove her back to perth with a very tired 4.4, She put in a good effort getting 2300km's out of the 3000km's and then threw a LEG OUT OF BED ................Spent the last 700kms on a strap behind my Rangie.

    Ser 1 Disco V8i, Am currently building this vehicle up as my weekend play vehicle and some comp work. I have allready fitted a Rovacraft Winch Bumper Bar, 10,000lb Haudraulic Winch rolled with 50m of Plasma, 2" Tough Dog Suspension Kit, RTC Steering dampner, Tough Dog Adjustable Panard Rod, Dual batteries, Light Rail with Lightforce HID Driving Lights, Snorkel, UHF, DVD Player, Rear Detroit Locker, Front Detroit Trutrack Locker, and Diff Guards. The vehicle is currently off the road having the 40mm Body lift, 100mm Scorpion Racing flares (guards cut), Rock Crawler Rims, Staun Beadlocks, 35" Maxis Creepy Crawler's, Custom rear Bar with swingaway wheel caddy, rock sliders and Scorpion Racing Evolution Kit. Hoping to take her on a maiden voyage this weekend. After that lot is done Im making chekerplate floors, checerplate side protectors along the botom of the sides all powdercoated black. Then Im not sure what else......BOund to be plenty more !

    And Last but not least :

    I have just got our "family Car" 96 4.6lt HSE Range Rover, And Love it, at this stage completely stock standard but with my record I'm guessing I will be finding somthing to bolt on her soon. (im looking at getting her on gas ? cananyone give me advice for that model and who's the best in WA ?)

    I guess all that looks a bit Exsesive but I work in the 4WD industry and ROVER MAD !! The Disco I rebuilt after she had a hit in the front in Melbourne, picked her up cheap did all the repairs myself and made quite a good toy

    Looking forward to many more ROVA CHATS !

    Cheers
