Why must all my most memorable Land Rover weekend experiences begin with an alarm clock blaring in my ear at some ungodly hour? It really shouldn’t surprise me at this point. After getting myself together, I met up with some co-workers from Rovers North at the Pour House in South Burlington, VT for one of the greasiest –yet tasty – breakfasts in recent memory. Our group of four, Les Parker, Steve Haskell, Matt Martin and I loaded our larded-up selves into the vehicle and pointed it south down Route 7 towards Manchester, VT. Our destination: the Land Rover Experience Driving School at the posh Equinox resort, about 100 miles south of Westford, VT. Just south of Rutland, VT, we met up our fifth teammate from Rovers North, Calef Letorney, our specialist in Waxoyl products.
