Subject: Michelin XZL's
Anybody out there in Roverspace have any info on the new Michelin XZL? I have
seen them in LRO and LRW. They look more aggressive than MIchelins other
offerings (with the exception of the XCL with you can't really run on the road).
Supposedly they have replaced the XCL. My local tire dealer says he has never
heard of them and Michelins 800 number says they are only available in huge
sizes for large trucks (lorries). Any info would be appeciated especially form
those of you in England where I know they are for sale. I am looking for a
235/85-16 size and my tire dealer says if its made he can get it. I am just
looking for proof.

Subject: $1.85 a gallon in California!
Geez! I guess I'll stop griping about the $1.25 I'm paying for premium here in
GA. Back about two months ago it was about $1.05, but the oil companies know a
thing or two about collusion don't they!

RN found a LR unit that works great on my D-90. It's stock LR but the
dealers can't touch it because it violates safety issues. Mine works as a
great cruise control (only when I'm on clear open highway). It is really
just a hand throttle actually built for Land Rovers but it has a locking
capability (simple twist to lock and release)so it's flexible to use to keep
RPM's up when you need them held and you can't keep a foot on the pedal
(charging or welding). There is even a plugged hole on the steering column
to mount the knob.

About six months ago I was planning to put new plugs in my '89 RR and I
posted the same question to the the LRO list and the West Coast LR list.
Most people recomended the Champion RN12 YCC. They have been great for me.

Subject: NH Spring Mud run...
All,
Those expecting a run in the mud NEXT WEEKEND IN NH, MAY 5TH. It's been
Canceled. It seems that some didn't get the rescheduled date and yesterday I
got calls saying about 7 Land Rovers were on their way !!!!!
One of the reasons it was moved was because I was in D.C on Saturday the 27th
!!!!! Anyway all was not lost. Heather Dixon was planning on a trip and took
the 7 or so off-roading.
I will let you all know when we plan another run.
Sorry for the mix up.

Barnett,
Sorry for not getting back to you, been in Europe the past 10 days. As far
as
Off road, we are still on. To stay, look for the Days Inn or the Best
Western
in Keene. Both are good hotels.
I will post updates later this week, and yes we will need the saw.

All,
Those interested in the Spring off-road run up here in New Hampshire. I
have
changed the date to help a large number of LRO attend, seems that the last
Saturday of April is a busy day.
The date has been changed to Saturday May 4th 1996.
Please pass along to anyone you may have told not on the lists.
Leaving Keene NH at 10 AM SHARP !!!!!! More info e-mail me.

Yeah, I've watched the price of premium go up over 30 cents in the last 3-4
weeks. Californians are cheesed at this big time. Oil company executives
are being questioned by the state to explain their actions.

Claims (and this has happened in Canada too) is that higher than
expected consumption of heating oil (diesel fuel) in the American
east coast resulted in refinery capacity being used to produce
more, at the expense of producing gasoline.
