It’s Saturday, and that means it’s time for me to pander yet again to another one of Fairhope’s Special Interest Groups. Today I bow down not to a group, but rather to a Special Interest Individual. I am speaking of course of Fairhope’s Series IIA Land Rover owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictured above is my old ’67, on a camping trip out in west Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how many Range Rovers, G-Wagons, and Cyber Trucks fill our town, I will always yield to any hand cranked vehicle<\/a> that I meet on our streets. Furthermore, if elected, I promise to personally help install a capstan winch<\/a> on any local Series Land Rover not already so equipped (Aeroparts or Fairey Winch<\/a> not included in this offer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the outcome of this month’s election, we should all turn out and show our support for Fairhope’s British Car Festival<\/a> in the Fall. It’s a fun show and a great bunch of people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
