It's a pity the mainstream press don't see it that way. Well, they probably know it really, but are only interested in printing half truths that sell, so called, newspapers. And as for the publicly funded, unbiased, BBC.........   :evil:

For £2,000 we found a hardcore Land Rover 110 Diesel with a snorkel, rock sliders and everything you need to fight you way through the outback...
...and plenty of rot.  :lol:

Generally good stuff though....

I don't think much of his '4x4s can be economical' argument though as all the things to make them more ecconomical can be done to any other car.

True; but the fact is that it isn't. The only other car that regularly reaches the age that 4x4's do is a Merc and they get lumped with us as being the antichrist to the world as well.

I've found that has stopped a few people in their tracks over the years.  They say to me, smugly, "and how much does it cost to tax?" and I say "£185 ... and my brother pays the same for a 5 litre LSE", and the look on their faces is priceless.  For everything else there's Mastercard.
