Every time I talk to my wife about replacing her 16 year old 190D with an
SUV, her only question is whether or not it'll tow an Airstream.  We had a
31 footer for 17 years and I've been waiting for a long time for GM to
modernize the drive train of the Suburban so I'd have a decent tow vehicle
for a new Airstream....still waiting!

BTW, I've done a little investigating since this thing started and I'll
concede that the current V8 engine in Land Rovers is light years more
advanced than the original Buick engine.  Maybe BMW has had some influence
on these beauties after all:-)

  Ok, to get us back on track, here's a pic of our Rover and Rig taken with
a IIIf BD with 50mm summicron on E100 Kodak slide film, scanned with the
olympus scanner with optional woodgrain interior.  Long live the Queen!
Sorry to have gotten sidetracked off the Leica topics, perhaps this will
bridge the gap!  Aesthetic form and function all together.  Price, schmice,
go get the checkbook and stop whining!  !  KPETERS
