The Solihull Society is a club for people who love Land Rovers. If Toyota Land Cruiser fans are more your speed, head for the Rising Sun. Participants say the social clubs foster learning, safe travel and responsible recreation.
People tend to gravitate toward owners of similar vehicles, and most clubs denote a specific make.
That way members can swap technical information and garner discounts on parts. Many of the society's 220 members, like Gorman, own both vintage and modern models. One club officer traded in his Land Rover for a Jeep, but he still joins the group on outings, which are scheduled twice monthly in the summer. When you have a car like this you end up playing like this. Normally on the trail trips, we let people know the difficulty beforehand.
