Towing a friends 23' wooden boat to Beaufort, SC - 23.5 mpg with 2900 lbs. of boat and trailer behind me.

1956 Porsche Carrera in b&w

Gabriel

We towed a 22' enclosed trailer with a 1956 Porsche coupe inside to Florida and back with my 2007 LR3 a couple of years ago for the Amelia Island Concours. Other than the shockingly low mileage (under 10 mpg) it handled the combined roughly 5500 pound weight of trailer and car really well. Of...

Old Sheldon Church - Yamassee, SC and country store Appleton, SC

Just great - very jealous - that's one of the events I would love to go see.

A friend of mine's Defender 90 - we were doing a photo shoot for him.

That looks really nice for a 26 year old Rover. I assume its got the VM diesel in it. The good thing about the two doors is that you can run the bigger tires without a clearance issue at the trailing edge of the rear doors. It looks like you have taken full advantage of that with your new tires...

I've got the 9.5' Extend ladder and its been great.

Tell us more - is it a 1990-91 model with exposed hinges? Two door Range Rovers are a particular favorite of mine. Looks like cloth interior and no sunroof. Where did you get it from?

I picked up some of the melamine divided plates in a thrift store brand new in the original packages for $2/pr a few months ago. They were originally sold by Sears. I got two turquoise and two light green ones. They are great for camping and clean real easily. I like those paper plate holders -...

I'm a Canon shooter but my 24-70 F2.8 is the very first lens I bought when I switched from the old FD manual focus film cameras to the EOS system digital. It's my most used lens and still useful after being used on five different bodies.

I bought my roof tent used so the initial cost wasn't that bad. Yes its a little heavy - about 125 lbs, but it goes up in about a minute, down in 3 and holds all of my bedding freeing up space in my short wheelbase Land Rover. All I have to do is find a reasonably level spot to park and I have...

The Epson V600 flatbed scanner does a pretty nice job - it has digital ICE technology to remove the dust spots. I've been experimenting with different (faster) methods using my digital SLR and a macro lens. First I tried modifying a slide projector by replacing the main light concentrating lens...

I've played the obnoxious Rolex owner as well - I am the current caretaker of my grandfather's 1954 Rolex Turn-O-Graph (predecessor to the Rolex Submariner). I was 18 when I snagged it from my father's dresser because he wasn't wearing it - with his permission of course. That was 48 years ago.

On the trails at Uwharrie National Forest

This kind of Singer?

usually immediately after they overheat and there are several reasons for that. One of the plastic plugs in the radiator spontaneously disintegrates (change them to brass ones). Bad water pump (frequent culprit) Lower half of radiator plugs up due to transfer of crud from the block into the...

You really don't want to do that in Mexico - even possessing a single round of ammunition can land you in a word of hurt with the Federales...

She has a water tank in the cavity ahead of her left rear wheel arch but her truck is a two door 109. She also has a propane bottle mounted underneath somewhere. She gave us a "tour' of her truck at OEX East in 2016 but I don't remember her battery setup. My 109 diesel wagon originally came with...
