Land Rovers

[debilorrah]

They are so convoluted in design, the lights in the dash quit working and no one can find the fuse box, the heat blows cold air, the seats are uncomfortable, the thing is stuck in 4 wheel drive high.

However. That vehicle can go ANYWHERE off road and do ANYTHING you need it too. Today we thought for SURE we were going over when a buggy came barreling over a hill and we had to high side in the VERY soft sand. But the vehicle just sat there upright, and when Ken hit the gas, it moved forward without a hint a of wheel spin. And off we went.

And yes, I feel like a scrambled egg today.

Good old English car. They may fall apart around you but they keep on going

That's just it PhilBen. The lights are out, the dash is falling apart, one door doesn't work, you can get out the passenger side without lifting the lock and pulling the handle at the same time, the thing is STUCK in 4WD. But when it comes to off roading, MAN can that thing get it done!!!

They did have a very good reputation a few years ago and I don't know what the new ones are like now being built by BMW I think?

I am not sure, but the thing is falling apart around us, but still able to take the abuse. And abuse it we do!!!!

I've had 4X4's for the last 30 years. Fords, Dodges, & GMC's, but the one that would run them into the mud was a Nissan Pathfinder. That thing would just about climb trees! Just TOO small for a ranch truck.

Your Cars and Trucks are twice the size could be more than ours in the the UK. The Land Rover is one of the Largest
