Welcome to the RoverWeb!
This is a web for and about Land Rovers, adventures with Land Rovers, and
anything else even remotely related to Land Rovers.
The RoverWeb was first written by Greg
Hiner. In January 1995 Greg passed the torch to
Ray Harder. Now (November 1995),
once again, it has been passed on. The RoverWeb is being maintained jointly
by Dixon Kenner and
Benjamin Smith. Feel free to
contact either of us about submissions or corrections.
Here's some photos of us and Ben's Rover.

clubs from around the
world, parts vendors,

- Bill Caloccia maintains the Land
Rover Owner email list. This list gives a lot of us a daily "fix"
of Land Rover information. Last I heard there were over 1000 people on the
list, worldwide. Click on the link for information on how to join.
- Archive of the LRO email list from July 1992 to December 1994 (by month) and a link to some of the 1995 digests.
- Viewpoint now has a model of a
SIII 88" Land Rover (lrover.obj.zip) by F. X. DeJesus on it's
anonymous Ftp server. This is a
3D model for computer animations. (This is actually a model of my (Ben)
Land Rover, so there are some differences--such as the rear bumper--from a
stock SIII. One of my coworkers made the model just to make a video to
tease me. I've now seen the video. It features dust, a good simulation
of wheels following a rough road and oil drips. At the end my Rover is
destroyed by a Shadow ship as featured on
Babylon 5 My Land Rover gets cut in half and explodes. It isn't pretty.
