Hello All,

 

Welcome to the second edition of RoverPhiles, the sort of regular news letter for

Incurable Rover Nuts like me. This issue we have some interesting short stories for you to enjoy as well as a wonderful article from James Taylor’ Rover Enthusiast magazine.

 

Well we are just a few weeks away from the RoveAmerica 09 gathering. I hope you are as excited as I am but not as tired! I have been working hard to get ready for everyone and using the event to set a deadline for myself to have my P3 ready. It’s going to be tight but I am going to do my best. BUT I don’t want you to set an artificial deadline for yourself and not make it to the event. If you love Rovers then we want you here with or without a car. The event is really about a shared passion and a way for us to feel OK about how we spend our spare time. So it is you we want not necessarily your car.

This is the time of year that I try to make a few upgrades to the RA site and Doreen has outdone herself and created a nice slide show of some of the Rovers I am in caretaker ship of. Make sure you have your speakers on. Click here for the slideshow.

 

If you would like to have a slide show of your car/cars put on the RA website then send in your photos along with a description and if possible a short write up.Click here to send in your pictures

   

Happy Rovering,
