Bob Kolander<\/h1>\n

Your friendly neighborhood webmaster aka “koly” – Bob has been a member since 1998 and maintained the website just as long. His previous Land Rovers include a 1995 D90 and a 1990 Range Rover Classic, appropriately named “Orange Rover.” <\/p>\n

Although he presently does not own a Land Rover, he’s been extremely active in the club over the last year: He served as a trail leader at the 2011 rally and has been on at least 14 different trail runs with over 40 AZLRO members since March 2011. <\/p>\n

He looks forward to being able to contribute more to AZLRO by serving on the 2012 council. <\/p>\n

Chad Manz<\/h1>\n

\"\" Land Rover owner since April 2000 and has been active in club for over 12 years. He owned a 1989 Range Rover County for almost 9 years before rolling it on the way to work on October 31st, 2008. He subsequently replaced it in January 2009 with his current Land Rover, a 1991 Range Rover Hunter and his current daily driver.<\/p>\n

He knows the 1989 to 1995 Range Rovers extremely well and is always willing to assist other Range Rover owners with information about parts, repairs or modifications. <\/p>\n

James Howard<\/h1>\n

James Howard has been a Land Rover owner since a fateful day in 1995 when he responded to a classified ad in the Arizona Republic for a one-owner 1972 Series 3. On the test drive it was slow and loud, yet somehow put a smile on his face, so his savings account was raided and the title transferred. A few months later he met Kelly and they were soon exploring the Four Corners in the Rover. On one trip to Moab, a friend let Kelly drive a Range Rover, and Kelly decided she needed one. She traded in her Nissan Sentra for a 1989 Range Rover, which was an awesome vehicle. It took them on their honeymoon to Canada, brought their child home from the hospital in a snowstorm, and had 300,000 miles on it when it was finally sold and replaced with a 93 Range Rover. The Series 3 was sold and eventually replaced with a 1968 Land Rover with a Dormobile camper conversion, and the 93 Range Rover was replaced with a low mileage 92 Range Rover. <\/p>\n

James has been active in the AZLRO since day one. He was on the council previously, and feels like it is time to contribute to the club again. <\/p>\n

Jon Rowley<\/h1>\n

I transferred to Arizona from Ohio State in 1985 and decided to stay and now my daughter’s is a freshman at ASU. I purchased my first Land Rover in 2001, where I owned a ’91 Range Rover and a ’62 Series IIa 88 prior to my current ’98 Discovery. I joined AZLRO around 2005 so I thought it was time for me to put in some time to the club since I have enjoyed what the club has offered me over the years. Since 2007, I have attended many National Land Rover Rallies in UT and CO and Arizona Land Rover Rallies. <\/p>\n

Shaun McDonald<\/h1>\n

Shaun McDonald – Member of AZLRO since 2008. 1st year of AZLRO Council participation. Owner of a 2005 LR3 (white) and 1994 Discovery I.<\/p>\n

I decided to purchase a Land Rover as it was the vehicle my wife and I thought suited our needs and my familiarity of the vehicles having been around one (my dad’s 88″ Series 2A) at a young age. After owning Land Rover over the past few years I would find it difficult to drive anything else. I enjoy Land Rover ownership because it has brought me in touch with a great group of people in AZLRO. There is a certain camaraderie that makes participation in the club’s events very enjoyable. When I first joined the club I was semi-reluctant to participate in more than camping or simple trail events but now I find myself changing out differentials, using lockers and even leading a trail or two. Oh how the times change once the LR addiction grabs hold <\/p>\n

Steve Odgear<\/h1>\n

I have been a Land Rover owner and an active AZLRO member since March 2006.<\/p>\n

I have attended, supported and helped with all the AZLRO Land Rover Rallies and served as a Trail Leader for the 2011 Rally.<\/p>\n
