    Vagabonds de Terre de Défenseur

    I just had to laugh.

    I found a French forum that I felt need to comment in www.land-adventures.com/forums :: Index

    I don't speak a word of French. So smarty pants me types my post into babelfish translator.

    Reviewing the translation I find Land Rover Defender becomes Vagabonds de Terre de Défenseur.

    I feel like say "o, oh, hooo" and twiddling my moustache.

    Sorry just had to share that with you.

    Back to my Vagabond de Terre

    Ahh, they will work it out. Given some of the posts you see here it will probably make as much sense.
    I presumed Vagabond = Rover & Terre = Land

    There's probably a few French farmers who don't think there's much difference between the two.

    Land Rover Découverte according to my French-English dictionary.

    Actually as it is a specific name it would simply be Land Rover Discovery or Land Rover Defender and not be translated any more than different model French car names are translated to English.

    That's why I laughed. I imagine LAND ROVER is still LAND ROVER in France. and changed my post to such.
