I just had to laugh.:lol2:
I found a French forum that I felt need to comment in www.land-adventures.com/forums :: Index (http://www.land-adventures.com/forums)
I don't speak a word of French. So smarty pants me types my post into babelfish translator.
Reviewing the translation I find Land Rover Defender becomes Vagabonds de Terre de Défenseur.
I feel like say "o, oh, hooo" and twiddling my moustache.
Sorry just had to share that with you.
Back to my Vagabond de Terre:p:angel:

Ahh, they will work it out. Given some of the posts you see here it will probably make as much sense. :angel:
I presumed Vagabond = Rover & Terre = Land

And 'pomme de terre' is a potato,not an english farmer:D
There's probably a few French farmers who don't think there's much difference between the two.

Land Rover Découverte according to my French-English dictionary.
Actually as it is a specific name it would simply be Land Rover Discovery or Land Rover Defender and not be translated any more than different model French car names are translated to English.

That's why I laughed. I imagine LAND ROVER is still LAND ROVER in France. and changed my post to such.

I knew someone who when asked what model MB they drove, the response was "type W ein zwei sechs model vier zwanzig sonderklasse einspritzung lang"
Whilst it might be factually correct I thought what a ******!

I think you miss my point, cleaner.
I know it don't make sense - That's is why I found it funny and posted this somewhat frivolous thread. I think we are saying the same thing but with a different sense of humour. I posted on the French forum to say thank you for posting my video. I am sure they would understand my post - even if it is in broken frenchlish.
Here is my post.
