Over 70% of Land Rovers ever built are still on the road today. Thats 60 years worth of vehicles.

Toyota had a tax break for primary producers so parts would be easy to get when your out in the sticks. Everyone out there owns one.

Well he made it as far as Adelaide anyhow - had his Defender parked in my back yard this morning. Nice looking machine to say the least, and I wish you years of happy travelling in it mate. :)
