Rover is the vehicle of choice for some"well to do" Ruskies too. They replaced armored BMWs.

I love 60s-70s Rovers, but damn, they are pricey.
Got turned onto Jeeps many years ago with an old CJ5 and haven't looked back.

 

Now, that's f*ckn funny. Guess the tat gave him away.

 

Oh boy! Musician posers are the worst! At least when they step up to play you can tell if they are actually posers or not, cuz most of them can't play for s**t. It's one thing to know your scales and something else to know how to use them. Playing pentatonics at lightning speed does not make you a blues player! I can buy a big box of tools and it doesn't mean I can fix my daughter's bicycle.

I'm mostly a strat guy, so I don't know about the Gibson reissue stuff, but a lot of those relic strats are actually pretty decent playing and sounding instruments IMHO... not that I'd own one.

 

I comprehend that you and others have been part of the motorcycle subculture for most/all of your lives. I have had my MC licence since I was 14 (41 now), I was just not obsessive about like some of you. So please don't be offended that I don't show "respect" by the romantisized lifestyle you've obsessed about your whole life. Like all subcultures, there are positive and negative aspects to biker culture. None of you ever have in depth threads about the negative **** though, because it doesn't make you look cool. I assure you, I am highly successful in my subculture(Green Beret for 20 years), therefore I really don't feel like I have missed out by not being part of yours all my life. While I have dealt with high school drop outs and drug addicts, they haven't been my peers.

I don't mind when you guys talk about the good old days, except when you start dick measuring. It doesn't bother me when you all get I'm a circle jerk to make eachother feel better. When you start be-littling others to make your circle jerk better that is where you lose respect. r. But my opinion doesn't matter. So carry on.

 

Sounds good man.
Yep, got a lot of those rigs rolling around where I live. Hell, on some, the front driveshaft is missing cause it's rolling so high. hehe. Maybe they take it off for street ? And then , maybe they become the "badass" 4 wheeler when they hit the dirt. lol..

I am with ya on the not getting off road these days. Need front gears and all the money extra is for the son, family and saving for the bike.

Off roading is not high on the list right now. Plus, the gas prices? ****.

 

Of course they play nice. They are american standard, just made to look worn (I think Fender calls their series "road worn"). They beat the living begeezus out of those mexican made shitshovels. I tryed a made in Mexico Jazz bass. The neck was OK, and it wasn't properly set up, but the sound is lightyears away from the japanese or even american made Jazz bass. I settled for a Geddy Lee signature made in Japan. Still saving my pennies to get a Rick 4003 or 4001.

 

thanks

 

just ran across this while googling images for something



hehehehe

 

Good one, Schu!

 

You mean to tell me you were a SF guy and you cant take dick measuring or story telling? Ive worked with Spec Op guys for about the last 13 yrs and thats a subculture that totally hates posers and doesnt hesitate to call one out. You have more wannabe spec op guys running around than wannabe bikers. The worst part is the wannabe poser will get you smoked down range and thats nothing to make fun of....unlike here.
