    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?

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

    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.
