BritishBulldog Chat Regular
Participants
BritishBulldog is a Land
Rover parts supplier in USA. They've kindly provided a chat
room where LR owners and enthusiasts can meet and chat. You
can visit their website or go straight to the chat
room.
Meanwhile, there is a bunch
of people who regularly meet for a chat. I am one of them.
Mostly they are Americans but I've encountered one Brit and
I think I'm the only New Zealander there.
I've always thought it would
be nice to put faces to those names I see on the chat. Some
of them agreed to have their mugshots put on this page. I'm
still collecting from people there.
Well, first-off, my
mugshot. It's taken a while to get one but here it is. If
you've been wondering what I look like, wonder no more. Be
prepared for the laugh of your life.
This photo was taken
on a bridge joining the Greenstone and Caples tracks.
Noticed my right knee was bound? It was the most disasterous
trip I have ever been on. It included the horrors of
aggravating the old knee injury, being eaten alive by giant
sandflies and 4 flat tyres (2 in one go, a third slow leak
and the 4th was shredded while driving 100km/h). Sounds
exciting? I'll write about it once I've recovered from the
trauma (and when I can be bothered).

This is Ike (Isaac
Davies Goss). He has a SIIA and dreams of owning many kinds
of 4x4's (vintage models only). He is also studying Geology
in Indiana State University which puts him quite high in my
books (I'm biased on that).
Next is Neal
Friedenthal. A civil war reconstruction enthusiast (as you
can see). Click on the picture for the full photo of Neal
and his cannon. Neal runs a Safari tour company with a
Kenyan partner. J&F Sarafi can be found on nairobisafari.com. As far as I can tell the safari is
run exclusively with Land Rovers.
Jim Caffrey from
Iowa. First picture is Jim on his D90. A boating enthusiast
with a ridiculously large number of boats in his family
:-)
Ho Chung, Los
Angeles, CA. Disco owner and Rover nut. Born in Korea,
raised in Brazil and enjoying life in the USA (with a Rover
of course). Visit his on-line
magazine.
Art Bitterman , a
retired USAF avionics technician who drives a 1960 SII 88"
(right hand drive). Aardvark the Landie was purchased while
he was stationed in England. Visit his Guns
and Rovers
site.
This is Don Herrero
(aka Danno) and wife, Elizabeth. A resident of St. Louis
with a
96 Discovery
SE-7

Phew! There goes the
full specs. Here is a link to Elizabeth's
page
This is Chuck Henry from
Nebraska in what I assume is his ideal dreamworld? Pity it's not a permanent
one, eh Q?
Check out his website
If you haven't
guessed which one he is, look for the shining white gut
:-)
Meet Brian O'Connor of New Mexico. He runs the mortuary program at
a USAF base. Brian drives a Discovery although he is looking to
trade it for a SIII. He also has a Land Cruiser FJ40 but we
shouldn't hold that against him :-) Obviously he also likes
fishing and wishes he was still in Alaska.
That's all I have at
the moment. I'll try and extract some more when I have
time.
