The Roving Reporter Hi, fellow CLRC members Wow, it’s August already, and the sparaxis outside my kitchen window is showing early signs of Spring being on its way. Which means that my resistance to cold-‐weather camping will be thawing soon, and we will get itchy to haul out the tents and sleeping bags to spend some Cme in the great outdoors. From what I understand, there was a good turn-‐out at the Helderberg ouCng as well as at the Points Event held at De Grendel…it is good to hear that the ouCngs are well supported. Please remember however that most of our events are arranged aLer ample negoCaCons with the venues, and that our behaviour as club members before, during and aLer the event will impact on our ability to revisit that venue. This includes liNering and general respect for the environment we ﬁnd ourselves in – please ensure that you take some form of rubbish container with you on ouCngs, and that everything is spotless when you leave. No picking of ﬂowers, driving oﬀ the designated tracks and undue noise, please. July 2014 Please keep an eye on your mailbox for news on the upcoming ouCngs, or check out the Club website.

Tani Humour OF INTEREST A Short Tribute to MarCn Holland from Peter Browne It was mid-‐1980 : My brother (Series II) and I (Series IIa) had just arrived in Cape Town from Zimbabwe, and by year end our parents (Series III) and youngest brother (Series I) were also here. With four Series Landies it was only a maNer of Cme before the tracks led to MarCn Holland and Roverland. I think it was 1981, or maybe 1982, that we found MarCn at his Land Rover haven at Morningstar . . . and yes, the engine-‐liLing-‐tree was there, and behind every other tree there were Landies, Landies, Landies . . . MarCn was young, vigorous, forthright (was he ever not so), conﬁdent, and very knowledgeable about Land Rovers. He would speak with passion of their strengths and capabiliCes, shortcomings and limitaCons. In 1983 MarCn imported a consignment of overdrive units for Series Land Rovers . . . the Spanish manufactured Sobremarcha R-‐2000. At just under R800 they were less than half the price of the Farey overdrives. MarCn was conﬁdent that they were high quality and even beNer than the Farey units . . . so we purchased two of them. He was right of course, and the unit in my Series IIa has done about 400 000 km with no aNenCon other than topping up the oil from Cme to Cme. MarCn had done his homework well, and this was characterisCc of the way he did things . . . something I was to see repeatedly over the next 30 years. Inevitably his Morning Star setup outgrew its backyard beginnings and Roverland moved to new premises in an emerging commercial area oﬀ Potsdam Road near Dunoon. I must admit that for me Roverland never felt quite right at that locaCon . . . maybe it was just the change from the informality of the backyard setup which took Cme to get used to. But it wasn’t long before Roverland moved to its present day locaCon in Montague Gardens, and all was well once again. Well, that is, save for a (mercifully brief) period when an alternaCve brand of “so-‐called 4x4” was seen in the workshop service bays and in the parking areas in front of Roverland. I thought it possible that MarCn was “losing it”, or maybe even “smoking something” diﬀerent from Land Rover smoke! I always felt comfortable going to Roverland . . . MarCn was always there, always forthright, and always ready to help or advise. In the later years I oLen bumped into him and his ever-‐caring Erna in Melkbosstrand . . . on the sidewalks, at the beach front, and in many of the Melkbos restaurants. It was at these Cmes that I saw what was probably MarCn’s most enduring characterisCc . . . his indomitable spirit. He never gave up and never surrendered in the face of adversity. As he passed away MarCn leL behind a legacy and memory as deeply impressive and long-‐lived as Land Rover itself. I would like to believe that he is looking down on us from out there, somewhere in that great Land Rover backyard in the sky. Go well MarCn . . . I will miss you. OF INTEREST Adventure Through Art By Joanna Engelbrecht Meet Mamma Gogo, a Series III Land Rover with a very special story. She is the proud mascot of the Mamma Gogo IniCaCve, a documented journey of a very special Land Rover, exploring culture and heritage, creaCve outreach programs and implementaCon of educaConal iniCaCves The 3 main objecCves of the IniCaCve are: •  Explore the creaCve potenCal of communiCes across South Africa and potenCally Africa through the medium of a creaCve outreach program. •  Document the diverse heritage of her people and the expression of her culture •  Engage communiCes (including those on social media) to the collecCve story of this creaCve adventure Mamma Gogo will be on display at the World Design Capital 2014 Longbeach Mall Design Expo from 25 -‐ 30 August. The founder and driver of the iniCaCve, Donald BarneN will be there with this Land Rover Mamma Gogo to answer any quesCons. Donald is an accomplished arCst for over 20 years, through his newly ﬂedged NGO he is now using his talent to inspire creaCvity within communiCes. Donald is scheduled to take a trip to the Limpopo Provence early September 2014. He has been given sponsorship to document the heritage of the Maphungubwe heritage trail, visit the sacred sights of this region and interview the communiCes there. Unfortunately the trip wont be done this Cme round with his Land Rover Mamma Gogo, as she is in serious need of repair. As yet, not enough funding has been raised for this and Donald is now forced to seek other alternaCves to accomplish the task at hand. OF INTEREST This is an appeal to those in the Land Rover community to see if we can help Donald in some way. Perhaps there is a landrover owner or dealer that would be willing to sponsor the use of a vehicle for a month. Support Donald's challenge to take creaCve outreach to the isolated communiCes of Maphungubwe and in turn become a part of telling the story of Africa's remarkable heritage to the children of South Africa. Or perhaps there are some members of the club willing to assist on the mechanical side to help Donald restore Mama Gogo to her previous glory. I am obviously passionate about the Land Rover brand and believe that Mama Gogo within the right hands, if restored, can make this journey and in turn demonstrate the capabiliCes of Land Rover vechiles On the 25th July 2014 I aNended the ﬁrst fundraising aNempt held for this project and spoke to an audience and represented the CLRC. It was a great night, very informaCve and there were amazing prizes that were won as well as lots of wine and a delicious curry dinner! I believe that this project will be a great success as well as beneﬁcial to communiCes less fortunate, therefore I appeal to anyone who can assist to get please come forward and get involved. Donald will carry on with fund raising aNempts in the future and I of course will keep you all updated and would appreciate it if you could join us on this journey!
