Land Rover or Other 4x4?
« on: December 18, 2006, 10:39:17 »
I'm sure those of you who drive something other than a Land Rover may have noticed that occasionally this forum has a bit of an identity crisis and comes over all Land Rover-esque.  So I'm interested to know...  what proportion of us actually drive something that ISN'T a Land Rover?

Well the Land-Rover esque theory is looking a bit correct at the moment!!

We have 2 Land Rovers (well a proper 110 and a mickey mouse Freebie!! Takes cover now!) and a Suzuki.

Drive a Defender 110 pickup for work, perfect for the job, but not very comfy when your 6"2 so don't wanna drive one when i'm not working.

One green oval - RRC for fun (and throwing money at)
Two blue ovals - general runabouts
Two blue ovals - retired 'projects', not getting very far
One Zuk one-wheel drive (work that one out :wink: )

(The thought of a Kia Sorento has crossed my mind for towing the BWSOW - I've heard a rumour that they are pretty good for my level of laning as well, but have no proof to back it up)
