why a 110??

shorty u still got your patrol, if so I know it's not a rover but you can't go past patrol running gear, and they will be quieter than a 110 and better than a D2 for room.

The relay modification will be a welcome addition.

Don't get me wrong, I really liked my County but it's not a patch on the P38A. My wife prefers to drive a D2 over the P38A. I only sold the County 'cos I couldn't justify keeping two 4WDs.

I forgot to mention the saving in clothing costs. Don't ask me how many pairs of pants and shirts were torn when exiting the County.

Another aspect of the County which made it hard to live with was the pain it caused in my right arm from being forced against the door in cold weather.

You'll note I've made no mention of seating comfort for the driver. Why? Because, for me, the County was better than the P38A! I get get aching thighs in the P38A (and did also in my previous '87 RR) within a few miles. I could drive for hours in the County without a problem. I climb out of the P38A after a couple of hundred km (next fuel stop) and I can barely walk.

Strangely I've only torn two pairs of work PPE that way. Don't even ask how many times I thought I'd damaged trousers/shorts though

. I guess I've been lucky.

Seating in the new Puma is better than the Tdi and personally its better than the D2. The best seats I've had in any vehicle were in my 97 D1. The worst has to be in a Hilux, even the new ones don't suit me. But seats are a very personal thing, what's good for one is bad for another.
