    Kids these days eh?

    I had a "You mean they're still making those landrovers?" question from someone who should have known better. They assumed that all these more modern looking defenders were just old ones tarted up.

    Nah I was referring to the roof mounted spotlights however since there quest on targeting the spotlights has kinda failed they have started making a big fuss over the bullbars AGAIN
    After being threw 2 ARB bars on roos the next option was this bar which has already been tested on some ferals and held up perfectly...I know which one I feel safer sitting behind when cruising along stretches of road at midnight...uneducated morons in high positions really frustrates me but dunno what will become of it

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Interesting thread. I like the Land Cruiser, and the sound of those V8's especially when they have a mandrel bent 3" exhaust! As for the Roo Bar and Spotties... Really??? Who gives a crap!! Each person makes their vehicle their own.. There's that much red tape in Europe it makes for a boring place!! One of the reasons I came here!! Some of us have 101's... and if we really wanted to get picky, would they be legal? Aged lap belts, crap lights, lazy brakes, out of date bar grip tyres on some.. modified rims.. battery in the cab space.. no safety in a crash... Need I go on... Do I care? Nope.. Do I have a silly daft diesel in mine! Hell yeah! Does it go faster than perhaps it used to!! Yup! Am I at fault? Probably! Do I care.. No. Do I love it Yup! Its mine! So, here's the crack, contribute to the thread with some positive stuff, and if you can't, then go back to that padded room!
    1995 Mercedes 1222A 4x4
    1969 (Now know! Thanks Diana!!) Ser 2 Tdi SWB

    1991 VW Citi Golf Cti (soon to be Tdi)
