Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

A rover?

It is.

I didn't even try fitting it in the garage. It's just parked out front. There's a good chance that I only drive it a few times, instead of the whole week.

That's an odd looking duck

It is! It's a cranky thing to start in the cold - but it does start. It's a diesel so you gotta heat it up with glow plugs first. Well, it took like 10 minutes for the light to go off. The heater in it sucks - but you can open these flaps that let the engine's heat fill the cab - and that'll warm you up just fine. In fact, the window defrost is just a couple of open flaps that let heat from the engine do the work. It wasn't even that cold. It was mid-morning when I started it up, above freezing but not by too much.

I dunno if it goes faster than about 45 MPH. I didn't like the revs it needed to hit that. But, it's got a lot of torque. So long as you're in 3rd gear, you will not need to downshift even on some of the mountain roads around me. Well, I haven't taken it down the steep way, into Farmington.

It gets a lot of looks and waves. People smile when they see it. They don't know what it is, but they like seeing it.
