Had a good look round but couldn't find it, then tripped over 6 green
things hiding in the grass :-(

What happened to all the colour - Yellow's, Blues, Oranges, Purples ?

I get the feeling there's been a rivet-counter take-over of the 101
club, with non-standard ones no longer welcome. That's just a feeling
gathered from postings in the recent past from some 101 owners, not
from direct experience so could be total ****e.

Well Tom's Silver streak is being rewired and generally rebuilt internally.
Martyn was installing his Air con
I've got the front axle in a zillion bits off Morph hoping to be done and
road tested for Malvern (Though Morph doesn't currently fit in to the
catagory of colourful - the more of this sort of stuff I read the more
likely Morph will show his True colours ;-))
Simon made a number of trips to and fro due to RL in bURRt

I don't think Biling per say is high on any of our lists regardless of any
club politics, I would have gone for a day (In the Renault!) for a walk
around and see if owt had improved but our little'un had a party invite so
again had to balance the need to burn £Money against keeping some balance
with family. Family won.

It's a feeling I too have gathered, and that partly from a certain
well-known gent with a rather non-standard 101.

bloody silly, but there y'go.

roll on the ULRC stand, I say. And I still fancy forming the PLRC - Purple
land rover club.

Any colour you can create by mixing red and blue paint will be allowed, and
provided there's a credible amount of purple, other colours will be admitted
too. Painting it all some other colour and having purple door handles will
be regarded as taking the ****, though.

Any vehicle with a substantial LR mechanical content will be allowed as
well, so things like Bowlers and other stuff will qualify, provided they
have a good purple content.

reminds me, must take the bottom tailgate to town tomorrow and get the paint
bloke to scan it, and mix me some paint.

I can feel a new camo design coming on - pink to aqua with every shade of

Don't say that to a spear fishing suit designer or the next thing
you know somebody will be wearing it in skin tight neoprine.

Some of their 'camo' designs are anything but low-vis.

Since I am both on the committee, and director and treasurer, I am
pretty sure I can say that as Ian suggests, its total ****e. As the
owner of two non-standard 101s (alright, one will be when its finished)
I am hardly likely to be party to any takeover by the rivet counting
tendency. Its a small community, people have to get along with each other.

There are enough 101s in existence that there is room for both the
serious preservationist who wishes to keep an original vehicle, and
those who wish to use the vehicle as a basis for highly personalised
transport.

I fall in both camps ! The GS LOOKS authentic, unless you open the diff
cage, smell the exhaust or turn the steering wheel....The ambi is
completely different.

For those in the computing game, the 101 is the ultimate open source
project.

well, I'm glad to hear it. There are too many people against us to let such
things divide us.

It's been done - some North Atlantic convoy escorts were
pink-to-purple.

Very similar - I was thinking of HMS Bluebell, just before she was
sunk off Murmansk. Which may say something about it's effectiveness...

A Rapier tractor in Martian Aerospace Defence Command markings?

They should have stuck with Land Rover, now it seems that anyone can
land there.

I'm actually kinda hopeful that within the next 2 or 3 weeks i will be
able to start it and that the roof will have been fully re-clad and it
will have majority of its wiring...

I painted my wheels tonight. now i just have to tidy up the front
grille and wheel steps and remove the very rusty air tank and I reckon
the exterior bautification phase is pretty much complete! :)

I'm not sure where this all came from, but it's actually putting me in
a slightly uneasy position, being on the committee an all. Can I
state for the record, that no such 'take over' has happened (quite the
contrary, actually), and any comments I may have made about me
possibly not being at any events are bugger all to do with the club
(mind, I did wonder whether I'd be granted the honour of a ticket -
but that's just down to poor communication).

It's no secret that there are 'things' going on within the 101 club
(judging by some of the emails I've had recently, some people think
it's a very hot topic), but it's nothing more serious than anything
else that's been happening for the last 7 or 8 years and certainly not
anything as serious as has happened to a few other clubs.

It's natural and healthy part of the organic growth of any club. At
present there are differing views on the way some things should be
done - so what? If everyone agreed on everything it would be a boring
old place really.

FWIW, the club now has a record number of members (I'm quite proud of
that, being Membership Secretary), but with this comes additional
challenges and greater demands upon the time given voluntarily by
those who are entrusted to 'run' the club.

OK, just some posts you (and/or the occasional other) made, and the
"unofficial" club hinted at that. I reserve the right to put two and
two together and make eight bazillion squillion, although knowing how
easy it is to read the wrong thing into something I qualified my minor
suspicion to make it plain it was just a suspicion. I know what
classic vehicle owners can be like, glad the 101 club's not moving in
the direction of some of the pre-war vintage clubs have, condemning
their cars to a living death in glass houses.

Seems I'm not the only one who thought that if you've had mails on it,
so it's good to get that one knocked on the head. What with our "just
and tolerant" society wandering around telling each other what to do
all the bloody time it's nice to know the cynicism is wrong for once!

Granted the ULRC mandate can give the impression that some of us are
totally fed-up with the politics and craperage that goes with
established 'official' clubs, but it should also say on the ULRC site
that it isn't an 'alternative', well, not toally so, erm IYSWIM.

The unoffical gatherings we've had over the last few years have worked
very well and nobody wants to nail their name to them - they're a
collective success and have a shared motivation - which has nothing to
do with personality or politics. The new fork of ULRC will go live in
a day or so, it's just called...

.... PURPLE
