What an amazing weekend! The Show n' Shine Saturday night brought in fifty-two Land Rovers in total - the highest participation ever. There were tons of raffle prizes and the voting for the best Landy in its class kept the crowd content while raising funds for the non-profit society.
Sunday we headed west of Squamish for the Snowflake Run and again had incredible participation with seventeen Rovers and two Unimogs coming out to play in the snow. Snow depth was around two feet which made for great fun without too many vehciles getting stuck.
I lucked out and hitched a ride with Ryan Ulansky in his Defender 110. The night before, Ryan and his Rover won Best Equipped at the Show n' Shine but he should be getting used to the attention by now. At the Portland All British Field Meet, his 110 won Best in Show over 87 other Rovers - a huge win! For more information on that win and the meet, the April '07 edition of Land Rover World is running a full piece on the event.
One of the perks (or is it?!?) of being the official press mobile is that you and your Landy end up with more photos then anyone else -even when you get stuck in the snow...sorry Ryan, your secret is out!
Oh, why did I put those two short videos up? I have my '04 Land Rover Freelander SE3 up for sale and I am constantly being teased by the Rover crowd that it is not a 'real Land Rover'. Anyone who questions whether the Freelander deserves to display the LR logo should have a look at exactly what these vehicles can do!
