Mr. and Mrs. OkieRover want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Temps on the southern plains today to be in the upper 50’s not much reason to need 4×4 today to get to Christmas dinner. We might have some snowflakes tomorrow but they won’t stay long. Once again, Merry Christmas[…]
Happy Valentine’s Day Mrs. Okierover. I can’t wait until our days are consumed by driving a rig like this one on the left. Driving from one great camp spot to the next. Eating chocolate. Sipping coffee and Coca-Cola, and watching the sun set. Our biggest concern being whether or not our camp site has sufficient[…]
It’s time to start your vacation planning. I know it’s only February, but if you plan to see any of our great national parks, you need to start now. Reservations are necessary if you plan to stay in any of the park’s resorts. A budget for your trip is necessary. Dude, there is a serious[…]

I say whoa because here in the middle states “whoa” is the command you give a horse to slow down or stop depending on the pull of the reigns. “Whoa” is also what goes through your head when you press on the brakes in your Range Rover and they surge like you have a warped[…]
As is the tradition with Festivus, I thought I’d start with the traditional “airing of grievances”. In no particular order (that’s why I numbered them). All questions are rhetorical and if you sense what I am saying has a hint of sarcasm, it is sarcastic. The first has to be with the price of ignition[…]
When you are restoring any older automobile the issue of replacing the “trim” parts comes up. When I watch the show Wheeler Dealers it is simple for them to just stop by a “breakers yard” for a few parts. But, when you live, 4,566 miles or 7348 kilometers from Solihull, United Kingdom getting those little[…]
Another weekend has passed me and I was unable to work on the Range Rover. The weather was nice, not perfect but compared to the on again off again snow we have had this year it was nice. My weekend was filled with family obligations and a the loss of two our our friend’s parents.[…]
