Thanks Knucks. Let me know when you launch roverhub or whatever you're going to call it.

I have to face facts. There is no way I'm going to be able to park all these Land Rovers in one post. This is the first of ...several. Also, I am not able to identify LR versions with 100% accuracy. This Series II and its odd custom suspension lives on MV full time. Same for this one. It turns out they're very good for advertising. The lighting is brutal, especially with the asphalt. I cheated by converting to B&W. I like the vintage look in this case. It's not an eye patch. Arr! There is an entire industry of replacement LED lamps for old Land Rovers. This ambulance was kind the star of the show. It a 1979 Series IIIa and served as part of a volunteer rescue outfit in the UK. It is a right hand drive model. I talked with the owner an he said did okay, but certain turns could be scary. Defender 90s are my favorite. Short wheelbase, reasonably modern powertrains, and they still look like an actual LR. Don't get me wrong, I really like 110s (and the nutball 130s), but I wouldn't want to have to navigates MV roads (and MV traffic) for any length of time in one. There is a lot to be said about the looks of Series IIs. Not an LR, but still very shiny. The swooped nose is the body style of the microbus that everyone likes. I've read conflicting information on it. Supposedly 1967 is the last year to have it, but I've seen what was supposedly a 1970 model with the V nose. In any case, the new 2025 "ID Buzz" version is downright fugly and has exactly zero charm. To quote my favorite line from one of my favorite films: Tune in next time for more LRs and gratuitous photos of Corgis.

Please be careful with words. I do believe Mouser is a reliable company.

After around 7 years away from DIY, I got back into it a few weeks ago and finished this KGST. It’s been nice reconnecting with the bench. I still have a Carbon and a BH waiting to be finished (PCBs are populated, just need to design proper enclosures). Hopefully it won’t take me another 7 years this time...
