Hello from Calgary, AB

Just happened upon this site the other day and am glad to
consider myself a new member!
Have a '72 series III that I purchased a couple months ago and
have been steadily improving it. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic
living near the canadian rockies, figured the rover would make a
capable trail rider, and how it is! In the land of jeeps this is
an oddity that I'm proud the have.
Here's a pic of the rover when I first found it

Welcome. Nice motor you have there, and nice part of the world -
I've spent a fair few nights inebriated in Calgary, and always
found it friendly and welcoming.

Thanks all, Calgary is fun for sure. Finding out that the rover
doesn't have much enthusiasm turning over when the weather
creeps below -25c - Oh and just happen to be getting new boots
for it today Parksy :D
