    Into to Rongo, Land Roverguy.

    There isn't much trouble, to be honest. there are lots of folks who have done all the dirty work for the import, the DOT paperwork, etc. Those that are already here tend to be REALLY expensive, compared to finding on in the UK or Ireland and having a broker bring it in. Even the Piglet and...

    Iraq 2006 British Rat Patrol form LeoUSA

    Truer words..... a couple of Rangers from this area stomped around the sandbox in the RSOV, the US Ranger's super-cool ride. Kind of a cross between a WMIK and a Pink Panther, but in Ranger Green.

    111 is for the 300Tdi engine in the Snatch 2. Mine is a Snatch 1.5 - Desertized, which has the 3.5l petrol V8, which has...."more" bhp. :-) to be honest, I haven't driven it yet, as it's not legal here until after Jan 1 2017, but considering it weight about 8900lbs, i don't reckon it's going...

    they're quite cool, but not very practical for ermm.....wetter climates. (like where i live). Also, a good way to light a lot of $$$ on fire, esp in the US where parts for a Wolf LR are almost non-existent.

    Aye, it's a Land Rover "Snatch". It's armoured but looks mostly standard. It's a 1992 and now legal to import into the US. more Snatch details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snatch_Land_Rover

    Gents, (and the slight possibility of there being Ladies too) I'm Ron, an MOD Land Rover enthusiast. Currently running around the wilds of the Pacific Northwest in an ex-MOD Defender 90 used by the Forces in Gibraltar. (a LHD MOD LR!) Soon to be arriving (January-ish), an Ex-mod Northern...

    This is a WIMK, for those who don't know. Not really the actual Pinky, but close enough, right? There is at least one WIMK replica in the US already. It's on the Rover XD chassis but strangely, they reverted to the 300Tdi engine instead of the TD5 or the petrol V8 found in the Snatch. This is...

    Long live the Landie

    Soon....very soon. Yes, they are legal now to import to the US! I'm extremely chuffed to know that one of the beloved (ok, hated with fiery passion) Land Rover Snatch 1.5 vehicles is soon on it's way to The Compound outside of Seattle. Seriously....who doesn't need an armoured Land Rover...
