The meeting began with the usual member introductions and round table.

Kevin Collins stood up and gave a progress report on his Defender, which has been in the shop for almost a year.  He found out that he has 4 bends on the frame, and the rear axle housing was also bent.  He was hit by a Toyota Celica.

Steve Maldonado stated that the next Columbus event is October 6^th.  Saturday, Oct 19^th is the All English Car Show at Traders Village. Upcoming trips to Double Lake and Spindletop were also discussed.

Doug also recapped Bill Ritchie¡s build of his D110.

The committee will be meeting to schedule the last quarter events for the year.  The AGM will be around the beginning of November.  At the AGM, new committee positions will be up for grabs as well.

Lance Miller has negotiated a deal with Dunsfold Land Rover (DLR) for rare parts on Series vehicles.  Members of the HLRC will receive 10-15% discount with this new negotiated deal.

Lance also spoke about Wadsworth panels that make body panels for Land Rovers.  The only problem is that they don¡t accept credit cards or American money.  DLR ordered the parts needed, so they are very easy to deal with.

Stuart Nance announced that there is a catalog for Pangea expeditions.  They sell Land Rover parts as well as prepare expeditions for Land Rover owners.  You can go to http://www.pangea-expeditions.com for more details. 

Ken Mendez detailed the membership card new format to streamline the process.  Members will receive their cards on the spot, printing them at each meeting.

Adopt a highway schedule will be posted soon for the new scheduled dates.

Doug officially called the meeting to close.  All went out to drool over Land Rovers!
