No worries Matt.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to give an update on the LR Edmonton Wheels event (Sept 20). Here are the folks that I have heard back from that can make it. If you are able to, please confirm the vehicle you are bringing and the recovery equipment on it so I have an idea of potentially where to deploy folks and also I will need to know how many people in your party that will be coming so that I can pass that along to the dealer for their food arrangements.

If you want to volunteer for the event but not on this list, let me know and I'll add you. Can't have too many helpers (I'll find something for you to do). :)

Also, something I'm doing different for this year's event is that I have asked the dealer to spend some time with me a day or two before the event to go over the new LR's so that I have a sense of recovery points and technology. I will then pass this information onto the volunteers (especially the folks on the trails side) so that we understand the vehicles and are able to properly guide customers.

What a day. Great turn out by the newbies in their shiny Range Rovers.
The drizzle of rain maid the trails quite the challenge for street tyres. Slip slide was the common theme of the day.
Thank you Alan for coordinating this event. We had a great time.
Now, winter is coming. Get snow tyres on everybody. Even a mighty Rangerover gets stuck without proper tyres.

Yup, second Emad's comments. It was overcast, drizzly but a great day! There was no lack of enthusiasm from the customers and the club members did great in our support role including a dramatic recovery (looked worse that it was and the driver handled it all in stride - she should consider joining the club with that kind of coolness). I'll post a few pics of that recovery.

I like the second photo where you see the driver hanging on by the grab hold...

Professor Norman and Super Del to the rescue! Is that why your truck is red Del? Some kind of subliminal cape?

Not to forget, Bill in his D90 and Kerein in nis D1 did a great job winching an L4 unit that was completely submerged in mud. While the LR4 was the heavy duty off-road version, it has city tyres that did not help much. Kerein's Super winch saved the day for that LR4.

sounds like  a great outing?   Hope they said thank you this time ;)

Yup, Shawn definitely thanked us and donated a gift (LR carry on luggage) to us which I gave to Del for next week's SGMT.

Emad pointed out that some of my photos were missing. In fact 65 were not there. So, there are 65 more now. Including this one.
