Non Technical Discussion / Alas, I am Rover-less again.
Last post by xmod109 - Today at 05:46 PMGood day all. Just dropping in to let you know that after 2 years of trying to sell my 109, then telling everyone who asked that they weren't worthy or lacked the skills to look after her... I have finally sold it to someone who met all my criteria. The new owner has owned a rover in the past, asked all the right questions, wasn't surprised by oil leaks, 100 km/h steering wobbles or amazed that it had neither power steering or cruise control.
She has shipped off to her new home in the Yukon to live out her days driving where I wouldn't mind being.. in the summer anyways. And I won't have to see her driving around the city, unless I go up to visit.
And with that, I am without a Rover again and can't see myself getting another for a while. So I bid ALRE adieu, some of the greatest bunch I have ever had the pleasure to associate with. Take care, drive safe and who knows... I may get another in the future, but probably with power steering, cruise control, a warm cab in the winter and comfy seats.

Events / Re: Edmonton Monthly Gathering
Last post by binch - February 28, 2026, 02:43 AMHey Gang!!!
I've got the fleet almost up to par now and the RRC has A/C cool air blowing into the cab again ;-)
Rumour has it that Isaac has gone to 33" tires and is getting a new winch bumper, offroad rear bumper and winch for his Disco2. I think he's shooting to win the SGMT trials this year....hahahhaha
The Ruby Falls trip set for Saturday, March 14th sound like it will have a pretty good turn out! I'm looking forward to it.... Abdu to 'tigger' in there last weekend with a few of his friends, and by the sounds of it the trail is still in pretty good condition. But it was a busy weekend with other groups too. And by the way...Abdu, welcome to the bent steering connecting rod club LOL. We'll have to compare pics.
Chris Krammer has volunteered to take the lead on the Reynold's Museum's History Mile car show for the club...thanks Chris!.
If you have something going on send us a note and let us know about your trip or projects. I'm sure there's lots of interest out there.......
A reminder for the Edmonton area gatherings.......
PLEASE NOTE EDMONTON AREA GATHERINGS NEW ADDRESS:
PEARL River RESTAURANT
4728 99 St NW,
Edmonton, AB
T6E 5H5
780 435-2016
March 4th from 6pm to 9pm
(It's a small plaza, 3 blocks north of the Whitemud FWY on 99st. on the west side of the road, with lots of parking)
Children are welcome and they also have a gluten free menu ....
They have offered us the option of ordering from their LUNCH MENU (see jpg below). These prices are very reasonable and all they ask is that we pay a $3/person surcharge for the dinner service. This looks very reasonable. So.....we are going to continue using the Pearl River for the foreseeable future, if everyone is on board ;-)
If you'd like to view their full menu please have a look at their website ;-)

Last post by Red90 - February 27, 2026, 06:05 PMYes. That is the right one. I'm pretty sure ordering direct is the lowest cost option.
