Shouldn't you be out in the shed with a block of 4x2 getting that overdrive sorted John?

Doh! You're waiting for the kettle to boil and trying to find the Land Rover tea cosy on the kitchen table which is being used as a workbench....

Re your question: I reckon God probably has a fleet ranging from old Series for heavy duties such as building galaxies, etc and at the other end of the garage is an Evoque for when visiting dignitaries are being ferried around.

Hang on, the road network is a bit lacking once you leave Earth. This was a trick question wasn't it John?! (Just picked up the 'she' reference too....defintely an Evoque with Ipanema Sand exterior, waist finisher, Cirrus Morzine headlining, Pimento/Ebony Oxford interior and the eD4 engine for better planet saving fuel economy of course....)

You've missed the point: we've already demonstrated that in The-Thread-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.The question posed here is if there was a god, what Land Rover would she choose to drive, given that she could probably pretty-much afford any model - and may even have access to prototypes.

It's probably worth taking a polytheistic viewpoint on this: that way we could fill a multi-bay shed.

I reckon the FSM would probably have a Series Landy of some sort with every PTO attachment possible. No shortage of appendages with which to work all the levers.

But of course we mustn't forget that we're only talking about a hypothetical deity here. Not a real one like the FSM. If you want to know what the FSMdrives, I reckon just ask the nearest pirate.

I reckon any god would probably get all genuine parts too. With her budget, what would be the point of going aftermarket?

Since were not talking about any god in particular, I reckon they would all have a range of views. Some would like disco, other would prefer defender and I guess there would probably be even some gods that might consider a series if they could get one reasonably straight and without too much of rust.

The head of one god's local franchise on this planet is reported to be partial to RR but on the whole though I think all gods (and pirates too) would pretty much agree a 101 would be cool.

........It's probably worth taking a polytheistic viewpoint on this: that way we could fill a multi-bay shed.

Given that there are thousands of documented deities, realistically and practically speaking we're looking at a seven seater. The new RRS may be a bit small in the third row for when Thor and Helios start arguing in the back, so it can only be a D4. The Hindu god Shiva may struggle with the leather interior, but that's ok, room for someone else.
The new suspension height "Off World" and Terrain Response settings "Asteroids and Zero Gravity" that have been developed specially would of course make the D4 the only choice for the discerning deity.

The boot space in the D4 is large enough to store all the required fireballs to smite the unbeliever, and with all round airbags, safe enough to ensure that the immortal beings stay immortal.

The suspension gives a magic carpet ride, which when your poor old bones have been around since the beginning of time, is very welcome.

Good points all. But if this mob was heading out on an expedition to the far reaches of the galaxy, or travelling on-site whilst constructing others I think they could do far worse than a convoy of fully kitted out 110 Tdi Defenders. Parts would be relatively easy (even in more remote areas), the ride acceptable and wind noise minimised by travelling in the interstellar void. They could probably pick up and refit some ex-Camel trophy vehicles and have a bit of fun along the way pretending they're in Borneo or something...

The issue with a Defender is that Neptune (or Poseidon to his Greek mates) may well leak out, given that a small child could limbo through the panel gaps. However, if you were to choose a LR to have a Dionysian style orgy in, you would probably relish the hose-clean properties of an older Series interior.

Some of the gods are quite busy, such as the ancient Egyptian Osiris, who's portfolio included the underworld, fertility and agriculture. If you have as much on as that, then you'd probably want a Supercharged RRS to be able to get to your next conception, death or harvesting as quickly as possible.

The Norse god Hödr, blind as he was, would most likely not get much enjoyment out of driving any of the Land Rover range, unless he was trying to frighten the pants off Loki to get his own back.

It's worth checking out the Godchecker site, though I haven't yet found much information on what Land Rovers they drive. I suppose that they're probably pretty careful in keeping their private lives private - like what products they buy and where they send their children to school. All the same, there is probably some way of hacking into their vehicle registration records.

Anyway, it's worth checking out today's current Top Ten gods at:

Rather disappointing I know, but according to Wikipedia the female god doesn't drive a LR, she rides a camel:


The She-Camel of God was a miraculous female camel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel) sent by God (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God) to the people of Thamud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thamud), in Arabia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabia), when they demanded their prophet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophet) Saleh or Sahlay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saleh) to ask God for a miracle. The narrative and story of the she-camel is recorded in the Qur'an (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an).

The subtleties of language. The thread title was "if there was a god..." not God, chosen deity of the Christians and the Jews, but god, deity, generic, of which there have been thousands, and a good proportion of which have been depicted as female by their followers.

So, the original thread title is not bound by the immediate conclusion that most would jump to on reading it that god=God. And your comment on how the pantheon of gods of the Ancient Greeks is merely mythology, given that there is little difference between their worship ( as in they raised temples to their gods, prayed to them, and devoted their lives to them) is no different to any other belief system.

I think that Helios did eventually trade his chariot that he used to cart the sun across the sky for a Perentie. Soft top, of course.

If God was a girl, she would be hardworking and looking after everyone instead of smiting them. To that end she would need something big - to ferry all the saints around - and comfortable - for the long drives to hell and back to keep Satan in line, and stylish of course - because you can't be seen in any old thing.:D

That is a brilliant god! Everybody has to admire a specialist. It's important to be good at what you do.

Now if that's true, it's got me thinking - and the conclusion is troubling. If memory serves me correctly with regard to a certain Td5 Xtreme wagon I knew many years ago..... it may mean that Wally is actually god.

You think it's troubling for you? This is going to require quite an adjustment for me if it's true. If it is, then I can tell you that god drives mostly 130s, has been known to drive 110s and a stage 1 V8, and has a fondness for 2As but can't actually be said to drive one. But how can I be sure either way? It's true that I had a oil-leak free 110. Not only that, but my current crewcab 130 doesn't leak any either. So that's undeniably a strong case for the affirmative. On the other hand, I've never created anything. Well, nothing really significant like planets or Polio (or midgets). And you couldn't describe the manner in which I create things as anything but conventional. I've never used the kind of magic or supernatural methods favoured by gods for getting things done. I don't even know any magic. So on the balance of the evidence, I'm thinking probably not.
Anyway, I've been thinking that with all these thousands of gods that have been around (and are still around, since presumably they're all immortal) throughout the course of human history, if they all drive Land Rovers, surely based on probability every Land Rover model has been represented at some point.
It must be an intensively competitive environment, each deity (or in some cases coalitions of deities) tirelessly insisting that he or she is the one true god. I think image would be everything. If I was one of them, I would want a Land Rover that's a little bit intimidating, something that embodies my omnipotence and allows me to stand out in the great carpark of the gods. For that reason it has to be the Judge Dredd 101.

Something's been bothering me. If a Deity , of whatever persuasion, were to confront fire & brimstone, would they drive a vehicle made primarily of aluminium? Bob

A fair point, Bob. Goodness knows what the Judge Dredd 101 is made from - probably cardboard.

If God encountered fire and brimestone, she would just conjure up a flood to put it out, no worries.

So, the original thread title is not bound by the immediate conclusion that most would jump to on reading it that god=God.

Your right, god does equal God. Nevertheless some of its (his, her whatever) devotees think he (it, she whatever) is a devotee of the brand.

Aha!! Proof of at least one god's brand loyalty! Now we just have to find out which model!

Actually the Bible is full of hints...
this has been extensively researched by Lotus Elan afficianados:
The bad news is that LR doesn't rate a mention ...rather God favoured US makes and perhaps even a Honda. British motorcycles also get a mention:

Ref: Biblical Marques : Archive by LotusElan.net (http://www.lotuselan.net/forums/elan-archive-f16/biblical-marques-t5425.html)

One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth
because the Bible says, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the
Garden of Eden in a Fury".

But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo.
The passage urges the Jesus to "pursue your enemies with your
Tempest and terrify them with your Storm".

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers
are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds
a long blast".

Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to
talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel
where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own
Accord..." .

Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced
by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph
is heard in the hills".

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land".

And, finally, following Jesus' lead, the Apostles carpooled in a Honda...
"The Apostles were in one Accord".

Question: Would Ganesha need a snorkel, or just go wading with original equipment?

Question: Would Ganesha need a snorkel, or just go wading with original equipment?

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/11/1246.jpg

Being a god of wisdom and prudence I doubt that Ganesha would do any really deep wading without thorough preparation. And as a god of obstacles I imagine he'd mostly avoid deep water crossings in favour of an easier route. But another possibility occurs to me... Ganesha places obstacles in front of those seeking a shortcut into heaven in order to avoid illegal immigration and overcrowding. I think it's just possible that among his arsenal of obstacles could be deep water. And if he has the power to create deep water obstacles, then it's likely he has the power also to take them away. If that's the case then he wouldn't go to any trouble to prepare his Land Rover for wading. But which model would he drive?
