I bet all the S1 landies are a bit like grandad's axe - only 7 new handles and 3 new heads. The S1 is a great little vehicle, but I very much doubt any of them managed 800k km without several engine and gearbox rebuilds.

The ISUZU will certainly go the distance. OE gearboxes are another matter though...

A series 111 would be about the right age for a comparison but not a 6 cyclinder petrol a diesel would be closest:)

Thanks for sharing that one.
An inspiring story. I wonder how he managed to get into North Korea?:eek:

I am impressed with his "no sponsorship" mantra, although must have had a few bucks to start with ????

Film Camera:o Where would you get that developed?

Although this one did not handle a Harrier very well in the Falklands (what would)

There's still some labs and pro labs around, or DIY ;)

When/if Mercedes brings out the G-wagen professional I'm getting one.

They just look good and I bet they don't leak.

That is very impressive if the explosive was of similar power that the one that hit the Defender.

a bit unfair to compare a complet hard top closed vehicle to one running around with no windscreen, doors, roof etc

not all that realistic either.

thats like trying to compare a puma to a series... of course the series is going to go further with less problem, theres a lot less to a series and its got a lot lower power levels to break things with.
