The very first Land Rovers were painted in war-surplus military paint. Seems only fitting we should go military on our Discovery project.

We take the Jaguar XKR with Black Pack to the blacktop of Michigan.

After months of off-and-on progress, we finally turned the key on our Land Rover project. It's alive! Alive!!!!

It’s a fact of life — time and gravity will eventually take their toll, leaving behind what can best be described as loose, sagging and wrinkled. And let’s face it, once this happens, they’re just not much to look at anymore. We’re talking, of course, about headliners...

Our man George loves his Audis. He recently blew the dust off his old 4000 with a renewed interest in putting it back on the road in its former glory. Here's the beginning of the story.

Finally, some progress on our dead Discovery. The donor engine is stripped, the blown engine is almost out, and the headliner is halfway fixed.

The engine in our Land Rover project is on its way out, and the so is the sagging headliner. The next few weeks will have us busy playing both upholsterer and mechanic as we dig deeper into the project.

It’s said that one man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity. No more certain example exists than the case of our latest project vehicle, a 2001 Triumph Bonneville.
