1995 postcard of Hurricane Luis from satellite & below picture of it under all the fluffy white at 150 mph.. Then a lucky guy as approx. 1,000 boats were lost & over 800 lives(grossly contrary to news releases of "2").
Sorry about the last pic. but the lettering on the hub-cap is raised white on white & no angle could get it. It is 1 of the Land Rovers the gendarmes got & reads DEFENDER. Obviously the French are trying to learn English by labeling the parts of their vehicles. Tried to explain to them that,"that ain't de fender but de spar tyre".
That middle one really tickled me!...:-)
I have had experience with Rovers over the years. The aluminium bodies are great but the engines leave something to be desired & the old models had a door latch that rattled to distraction.
My buddy had a old land rover , het told me he had to hand crank it to start it cause the battery was allway going dead... I told him he had to polarize the generator lol he said do what ....I gave him an old book I had Telling how ...was simple really...any storms your way ...
