I'm not allowed to own one of those.
Sheerluck will attack me with a machete.
On my orders.

What is your job, 'oh wonderful lord and savior'? I haven't see you outline any experience!

I have no desire to meet you either, but I'll laugh when you ask me to winch you out one day.

I unlike you dont need to sell myself,

And I have my own winch...

If I'm feeling lazy, I'll just hold the machete horizontally and let you run at it repeatedly.

You might be sorely disappointed with the outcome

You mean you wouldn't keep running at the blade until you resembled the Black Knight? Disappointed wouldn't cover it.

You have to give some numbers when there's a bunch of old people on the internet that have the attitude that all young people are fence posts. I'm sick of it, just because people are old doesn't mean they have good experience. My life time of experience might have more good experience than a 50 year old's.

There a horrid attitude across this forum that the younger members amongst the ranks are all inexperienced fools, it's the same in a car club I have experience with, I will not name it. But at the end of the day, myself and others are the next generation of traditional land rover enthusiasts, we will carry the legacy, and we are getting lesser and lesser in numbers, specifically because the grey haired, altziemer ridden experts have no recognition for young adults (admittedly I have the same issue with people I dislike), so pretty soon everyone will bugger off and these communities will just go offshore.

Just because you're old, doesn't make you right, you might have 60 years of bad practice up your sleeve, a person my age will learn a lot faster than the older guys!

So walk away, dude! Don't argue, it just makes you look like a young know-it-all ******.

You're always going to come across people in your life that think just because they're old they know what they're talking about. Just nod, show respect, be polite and walk away.

I try and listen to what EVERYONE has to say, because you never know, you just might learn something new. Even if you don't, what do you have to lose?
