    60% still on the road

    I've been thinking about the 60% (or whatever it is today) statistic and finally realised I've been gypped.

    That's right, gypsies stole my Land Rover.

    No.

    I always wanted to think that 60% was series and Defenders.

    But, if you take the total number of Disco's and RRs and compare it to the total number of Land Rovers ever made, yep, I bet you get 60% still on the road.

    Bugger is this percentage is only going to get larger.

    Same thing with world population, you could probably say almost exactly that since there are so many of us.



    So, when you series guys start parting out old faithful, don't feel too bad, you probably aren't the first.

    Simon,

    Go and take two of the blue one and one of the yellow ones and have a good lay down.

    I'm sure you will feel better in the morning
