Is that not one of the reason why we drive defenders?, If everyone could drive one then the charm would not be same... I'm thinking disco :wasntme:



ben......

I agree entirely, but playing the Devils Advocate one must admit that producing a vehicle many peple will never contmplate buying is not a great business model.... I'm happy to be part of us 30% though.
