I must say, reading this post was more fun than leading Cottonwood on Saturday.

I will admit that I did not directly comment about drinking at the drivers meeting before we hit the trail. As this was the first time I had lead a run, I had no idea I would need to explain the finer points of California State Law. To be honest, I was more concerned with going over Tread Lightly doctrine.

I will also state that I did not ask Jack to remove himself from my campsite and force him to camp 100 feet away on BLM land. I guess that makes me a bad member of SCLR. Nathan, does this mean I have to turn in my business cards. I hope not. I really enjoy putting them on the windshields of supercharged Range Rovers with 20" rims in the parking lot at Gelsons. Rims just like the ones featured in the latest edition of LRL. Come to think about it, maybe that's where LRL should do there next photo shoot.

That brings me to my one real complaint. Friday Nights BS bonfire. What a way to ruin a nice evening in Death Valley. Sitting around my nice cozy campfire while being forced to listed to the hits of the 80's being blasted from 300 yards away.

I nominate Badfysh's post as the longest whinefest ever on Dweb.

:applause:

According to MS Word:

Pages = 5
Paragraphs = 19
Lines = 153
Words = 1676
Characters = 7261
Characters (with spaces) = 8962

That is simply amazing! My hat is off to you Mr. Fysh. Good job!

:rolleyes:

Yeah, Steve Cooper needs to update his cassette collection. He managed to update the hair but the tunes need to follow.

Maybe he was referring to the party across street being DJ'd by the old dude from Sirius ??????

Howdy, I am the fucktard with the white Sport that the Roverlady digs, also the one who had a flat while at Teakettle Junction last Saturday. I am new to offroading - been going out regularly only in the past 6 months since my RRS no longer has that new car smell - this is my first Land Rover but surely not my last. Never having had to plug a flat tire in the middle of the desert before, I was probably doing it all wrong using cheap PepBoys tools (wish I had been to John's store sooner, especially since it is down the street from my work.) On discoweb it seems Inexperience = Fucktard...ness. Good for you, I usually hang out in a different forum with other fucktards so don't mind me.

However, since I was definitely in the middle of this action - or more precisely half way underneath it - I can say that Nathan never suggested I use WD40 on the flat. In fairness to him, he wasn't even around when that "tip" came up, he was getting a bottle jack from his car to help me. It was someone else who suggested it - can't remember who, honestly - standing behind me after seeing my repeated attempts at sticking a plug in that friggin' hole fail and my cheapo tools starting to bend. It sounded like a really good idea at the time. :rofl: And indeed, the plug did magically work its way into the hole after that, of course the tire still leaked. D'OH! So I fucked up. You live, you learn.

I will say that of all the people that were part of our group (and that's not to say that others wouldn't have stepped up and offered to help), Nathan was the one who had no problem sliding under my car, in the dirt, to help unhooking the spare and then again to help me hooking and lifting the flat in the spare well (if you own a RRS with 18" AT tires, you already know it is a bitch to fit one of them in the spare well without deflating it, pushing and pulling them until it basically jams in place - that well was obviously designed for lower profile street tires), when it became obvious the plugs and tools from my cheapo kit weren't working. He also offered his bottle jack - I refused, opting instead for the cheaper scissor jack POS that comes stock with my Sport...

Jim (Lupinetti) was equally helpful in lending his mighty Powertank to quickly inflate the spare, as my compressor would have taken a lot longer. In other words, I had plenty of help from some of the very same people that many here, who weren't even around that day, are accusing of being incompetent and unhelpful or arrogant. In fact, I found the whole group I was with - throughout RR7 - to be very pleasant and welcoming. Didn't really notice any snipers... During BBQ dinner Sat night I mentioned my misadventure when talking to someone and we all had a good laugh at the WD40 bit (well, they did, anyway.) I had no idea my little newbie story would be used as a personal attack on a forum that, up until 30 minutes ago, I didn't even know existed were it not for an unrelated link on SCLR's roverboard.

I have a $20 PepBoys or WalMart tire repair kit, and got a lot of mileage out of it (in fact, just ran out of plugs - need to get more of those). Nothing particularly wrong with that.

umberto, other than a wealth of knowledge to be found here, you arent missing anything the way these people treat others.

whats great about it, is they had all weekend to walk to any of these people and call them a "sorry ass mother fucker' etc, etc, to their face, but no, only here after everyone is home.

I didnt say drinking and driving is OK. READ please. Greg, please dont lump yourself with the people that continually berate people for the perceptions when they havent even read the post.

What I said was that at a break over an obstacle I had a beer while waiting for more than an hour. I also said I had a beer with my lunch. I hardly call that drinking and driving.

You clowns keep referring to hopefully what will win post of the year. YES, I drive in the carpool lane every day!!!!! ALONE!!! MY fucking tax dollars helped pay for that lane. Not to mention the law is written in a such a manner that allows (implies) that the lane is HOV only during certain times!!!! IN FACT the law is being challenged in many aspects. Not only driving alone in the HOV lane at certain times, but also LEGALLY being able to enter exit over the double yellow. CHECK THE LAWS on the 22 freeway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only argued with the stupid cop after he said I don't know what I'm talking about when in fact I know more than him.



The more you side with people that don't read the posts, then agree with them, when they don't even address the issue and then degrade others. Please, I have been treated poorly by many a Rover owner and high and mighty just doesn't suit you.



I didn't say Defense or big four were difficult. What I said was those guys shouldnt be talking shit about beginners, etc. We all started somewhere. In fact, as i mentioned before and got a sorry ass, when I first started wheeling, several SCLR members basically laughed at me. WOW, you support that? NEVER once in my life have I laughed at or ridiculed someone with less knowledge or less money. YOU SIR are an infectious disease if thats how treat people or you agree that is OK. I am the first to help, stack, pitch in, offer, ETC. BUT I AM SICK OF THESE accusations and tirades. FUCK YOU PEOPLE. We all were there to have a good time and meet new people, instead one of the first posts here was how poor some of the trucks were and then it continued with poor organization, etc. How about adding something that might help instead of bashing what people including yourself worked so hard to put together. You people have nothing better to do that cut others down. You are a disgrace to Rover owners and people in general if you feel thats OK.

I think next year you should list that in the trip sheet. "by the way, please be sure and check out D-web after returning from RR where will bash your truck, bash your knowledge, oh and by the way, we will bash our own friends that VOLUNTEERED to help put it together.



Good for you. Once again, I didnt say they were diffuclt. I am just sick of watching Jack lay into people. Shall I go back and quote what he said? OK here is the first one . . .

Ahhh Rover Rendezvous...

what a circus.


Weather was beautiful and Death Valley is always enjoyable.
Lots of interesting trucks.

Even more terrible ones.

WHAT A NICE GUY!!!!! cant wait to have that asshole over for dinner so he can say nice house, not great but your sorry ass has to live somewhere!!!

WHAT A DICK. ok, now lets got to his second post,, did i mention i waSnt even in this thread yet when he started with this crap?

NICE. Nathan called me and even stated that for as much as Jack knows, experience, etc. and I cut him off saying but he treats people like SHIT. instead calling people sorry ass mother fucker after the fact on a board, why didnt he walk right up to him on site, we were all there, and say it to his face, and then take the tire kit and fix himself? sackless POS is why.

Bunch of bitches. And you guys keep saying I'm the idiot??? You bury yourselves. We all agree no club/business etc. is going under because one, two, even 10 people dont support it. But why runa business with that attitude. Well, fuck it, i can treat 20-30 a year like shit because my business is still going.

You call people names and treat them like crap then when they retaliate you say " look at this guy proving his idiocy"

We all see through that garbage. OH WAIT, i still hadnt posted yet when Jack wrote this about Marcus . . . .

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

etcatmeat's P38 is fucking hideous.
When we saw his truck in person at RR7 everyone around agreed unanomously that it is THE WORST P38 we have seen to date.
What a fucking monstrosity.
I don't know quite what's worst about it.
Is it the swiss cheese skidplate?
Is it the blacked out idiotic turn signals and tail lights?
Is it the el cheapo tires on badass-black-jeeped-out-offset-steelies?
Is it the better-on-a-big-rig CB antenna?
Is it the bright red diaper his truck is wearing for a diffguard?
No, it's none of those.
Hands down it's the motorized swiveling spotlight on the roof.
Fucking ridiculous.
This terror of the high school parking lot wheeling scene actually rotated the spotlight jewel in his King Moron crown back and forth for us as he drove past our group at the Racetrack. Nevermind that it was about high noon with the Death Valley sun beating down.

This pathetic little neophyte has already been annoying the shit out of everyone here on discoweb.
Let me tell you, seeing his sorry ass in his poseurmobile in person is no less grating.

Oh btw, etcatmeat how's that bad-to-the bone mkIII build up coming along? Is it every bit as horrible as your P38?


COCKSUCKER. nice way to talk about other people when all they want to do is have fun and wheel. AGAIN, why didn't you walk right up to him and say that?

By the way, you FUCK jack, you DID join SCLR you little bitch. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK PUT ON THAT EVENT IN THE DESERT YOU SEEM TO DESPISE SO MUCH? why go there? you joined several SCLr members when you wheeled withthem, camped with them, partied with them, whatever. if you didnt want to be a part of it, as far as i know, death valley is open all year. wehy did you have to came last weekend????

SCLR, LRCLV, etc put on that event yet you seem to want to bash clubs and events....go fucking wheel somewhere else dont go to those events.

GREG, i cant believe you are siding with that garbage, did I mention that I am quoting and still hadnt posted yet.

So yeah, by the time i read all the shit these people laid on actually nice people, yeah they deserve what they get.

GREG, please read the thread again and see who started what and when before you call me an idiot. I agree, i type shitty, and in my disgust over their behavior and words, let it out in a poor manner, but lets not forget who started and what they said.



Good for you. I never said running it at night made me any better or worse.

You also weren't there last month wheeling in Mexico on a 16 mile trail that was alot of fun. IMHO it was probably more difficult than either Big Four or Defense mine (not that that's saying anything). We ran it at night by the light of the full moon-no vehicle lights.

We all have done things diffuclt, etc. i never professed to be any better or worse than anyone here. I just get sick of those clowns putting others down.



Just to clarify, I only started after these putrid pieces of rat shit laid into people for no good reason. Guess that makes me idiot. Great, better than living my life laughing at others and treating people like crap.

I think a point-by-point discussion with you is a waste of time, Joe.

Regarding your allegation of "picking sides", while I consider John, Ho, and Jack to be friends of mine, if they were trying to justify drinking and driving I would be arguing with them.

BTW, you ARE advocating drinking and driving by both your actions and by making light of negative comments regarding that behavior.

Let's just say that I have as much respect for you as you have for the carpool lane. And the more you post, the less I have...

i dunno Peter. i have yet to see a tire repair kit of this quality. MUCH larger and better quality reamer and insertion tool than your typical kit. i have the cheapo Advance kit that was $20 or so and this one makes it look silly.

Now, if you want to know my personal take on Jack's attendance at Rover Rendezvous without registering, I completely disagree with it. If Jack wants to use and enjoy Death Valley the very weekend of Rover Rendezvous, he should register for Rover Rendezvous. It's because of people like Jack that the National Rally has required nametags for participants to enjoy the trail groups and group activities officially put on by the Solihull Society. If there were no people like Jack, then these nametags would not even be necessary.

Hmmm.

I haven't had time to read all the pages, been working 15 hour days catching up for the time I took off to go to RR7. Has anyone complained about drinking at the campsite and staying up half the night? Unlike this thread, I actually had half drunk stumbling rover people tell me to shut up THAT NIGHT (impressive.) If you were one of those people I disturbed, then sorry.

I sure had fun doing it; didn't realize on Friday it was quiet time at 1:00, didn't read the flyer from check in. I understood from the sign up page that there was a quiet area for families if you needed it, and getting in late I was SURE I was miles from there. Damn good time anyway, next time I'll bring my WD-40 just in case. Never know when you're going to need it, especially to fuel such a wild assed thread. You all seemed so civilized in person!

If anyone wants a RHD Series Truck, let me know. I'm picking up a 109" Station Wagon from the port on Monday.

If you are headed north to Mendo on Saturday, hot British tea (Tetley and PG Tips) will be served at my shop at 6:00 am with fresh milk.
