Rover Nirvana in Annapolis. The Mid-Atlantic is getting smothered in up to 1’ (that’s 30.5 cm for our international friends🤓) of snow today. We got out for a neighborhood snow patrol before the plows started ruining our fun but they’ll be hard pressed to keep up with it. The pubs will be full this afternoon!

Happened to glance down and catch the rollover to 126k miles. Not too momentous, but it reminded me of all the fun moments I’ve had with this 11 yr old Rover. Long may he roll.

PS: Still loving the frequent drive-thru car washes from . Best alternative I’ve found to keeping the Rover inside a garage.

My one and only regret about our move to the Annapolis waterfront 3 yrs ago— no more garage storage for Sinjin the LR4. Add to that the indignity of parking under a tree and you have a First World Problem of unspeakable magnitude.

Fortunately I discovered a nearby zero-touch car wash that does a surprisingly good job. For $30/month I get 20 washes/month. Yes, I can wash the Rover each and every weekday if I choose. The mild detergents and spot-free rinses seem pretty paint-friendly. I thought this would be just a maintenance wash option but at this frequency the Rover now stays spotless throughout the month. I also strategically adjusted my parking location.

Land Rovers look great filthy or pristine, especially the more rough-and-tumble models like the Discos, Defenders (all generations, IMO), RR Classics, and Series. How do you take your Landy, shaken (dirty) or stirred (clean)? 🍸 🫒

Alive and well at almost 124k miles. Still the best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned. Retired life has kept us busy and the Landy still figures prominently in our Eastport lifestyle. Cheers from the Chesapeake Bay. 🦀⚓️🍺

Watched the odometer roll over to 119K miles on a recent road trip. The 2013 LR4 doesn’t get driven as much as it used to these days as we moved to a very walkable town. But I still love a long solo road trip and it remains the all-around most comfortable and capable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

This one really caught this grizzled old wolf right in the feels. A surprise Christmas Eve delivery from my friends at , one of the premier independent Land Rover repair and restoration shops in the National Capital area. They do it all from routine service to meticulous renovations of modern and classic Rovers. If you want it done right by a team who loves the Landy lifestyle as much as you do, talk to the good folks at Independent Land Rover Specialists! Thanks and Season’s Greetings to all of you! 🙏🎄🎁

Less than a week before Christmas; still wishing for another round of snow. Next time I’ll leave Sinjin parked outside so he gets nice and crusty. ❄️❄️❄️

First snow of Winter 2020 in the Washington, DC, region. Naturally we grabbed the keys for a neighborhood romp. Unfortunately it changed over to rain later in the day, so tomorrow’s trip to the vet will be over crunchy frozen slush. Still no problem for the all-weather LR4. 🔑❄️🛷🌲

Last visit to the marina before the boat is shrinkwrapped. The bracing December morning temps were fitting. After the marina the Landy and I took a spin around the Eastport waterfront. It will be nice to come back out to check on things and enjoy the winter season in Annapolis from the comfort of the LR4. ❄️❄️❄️
