#KEN SHELDON MUG LIFE SIDE BY SIDE MUG MOVIE#
Kevin King and Brent Lane, Saco, ME, spotted a soft top Series II-A in the trailer for the movie Walking Out. Movie producers have always recognized the power of Land Rovers to enhance any movie. Simon Green, Simsbury, CT, spotted the Land Rover in a Daniel Island travel ad in Garden and Gun. Chris Isenhardt, Jacksonville, NC, noticed a photo of a young woman lying atop a RoW Defender 90 in WSJ. Ken Eiler, Harker’s Island, NC, spotted the Defender in Outside magazine’s full-page photo of hiking in western Georgia - the country, not the state. Magazines know that the presence of a Land Rover can enliven every story. Let us know if you think you’ve been jobbed, but all decisions of the Editor are final. Rule #7 – Grudgingly, very grudgingly, the Editor admits he might have made an error. (To assure your privacy, the magazine does not have access to Rovers North customer information.) Send us your real name and shipping address, too. Rule #6 – Psst… email submissions - remember we can’t send a mug by email. Rule #5 – Sightings that are Land Rover references in books go to our Literary Land Rover editor for the mention, but only when space permits. If you qualify, one mug per Sighting per issue. Rule #4 – We’re not outfitting your kitchen. If you’re new to the family of Land Rover enthusiasts, you may not have seen your Sighting in an earlier issue. If we’ve mentioned the Sighting in an earlier issue, we might not mention it again. Rule #3 – At an ever-changing date before publication, we close off the Sightings for this issue, it was December 8, 2017. You shouldn’t be surprised, either, and should consider another way to get a coffee mug. We’re delighted, but not surprised, that Land Rovers appear in British television programmes, British publications, films with British themes and media covering African safaris. Rule #2 – If your Sighting doesn’t really surprise you, it won’t surprise us, either - thus we can’t award you a mug. We reward only those Sightings that capture the unique qualities of Land Rovers and their owners and display them in a distinctive way. Rule # 1 – All Sightings receive recognition and our appreciation, but not necessarily a mug.
It’s always helpful for veteran and novice Sighters alike to review the rules that govern when we award a Coveted Mug: We’re thankful for their effort and energy. The many Sightings received demonstrate that in between thawing out frozen pipes, many enthusiasts still search out Land Rovers in advertisements, commercials, movies and online sites. 2018 – Winter Issue Print Articles 0 Commentsīitter cold, lots of snow, high winds -oh, right, it’s winter.
