Hi there,
Sue and I just picked up our '92 L-300 last week. She hasn't even driven it yet. It's a pretty regular turbo diesel automatic, dark green and with the high roof. We plan on using it mostly for recreation. We're mountaineers and backcountry skiers (if a little long in the tooth) so hopefully many logging roads and snowy mountain tracks lay in it's future. We plan on building a removable camper unit for it before April when it's due to take it's first big trip to the American high desert. I'm thinking seriously about adding a vegetable oil kit, but that will wait a bit until we're comfortable with the machine.
So far this site has been really useful to me and as of now will become a lot more so I hope.
It's good to be onboard.
Doug

Always good to see other backcountry people about. Do you ski on bended knee?

Nope! The noise from my knees interferes with my concentration. On the advice of a ski guide pal I went AT 20 years ago or so. Said I'd get another 15 years of skiing if I didn't telemark. Young Susy (she's way under 60) however does.Mr. Flibble wrote:Welcome! :)
