    you choose each other, its a complimentary force thing much like the final shape the "deamons" choose in the movie....

    I think initially you choose the landy but then the Landy Reigns during the rest of the one sided relationship.

    You choose a Land Rover, or you settle for an Asian attempt at copying a Land Rover

    Have you been working on the exhaust or the fuel system?

    That could be mis interpreted as a very racist comment.

    You do realise Land Rover did not invent the 4wd system don't you?

    Racist! Hardly!
    Asians have been copying other manufacturers for years.
    Ford set up manufacturing plants in Japan in 1925 and GM 1927. Eventually the Japanese started building replacement parts, the rest is history...


    The 4WD system was designed by Ferdinand Porsche for the Austrian truck manufacturer Jacob Lohner in 1900. It had 4 Electric Hubs.

    First mechanical 4WD (transfer case, drive shafts etc.) was built by the Dutch company Jacobus Spyker in 1902.

    Daimler Benz started building 4WD vehicles 1903 - some of them already with all wheel steering.

    The first US four wheel drive vehicle, was built 1911 by the Four Wheel Drive auto company (FWD) . FWD supplied 4x4 trucks to both the British and US armies during World War One.

    Mercedes and BMW introduced really sophisticated four wheel drive vehicles in 1926

    The Jeep, originally developed by American Bantam but mass-produced by Willys and Ford, became the best-known four-wheel drive vehicle in the world during World War II. Willys (since 1950 owner of the Jeep name) introduced the CJ-2A in 1945 as the first full-production four-wheel drive passenger vehicle. Possibly beaten by the 1941 GAZ-61. (Russian).

    Land Rover started in 1948.

    The Japs made a Toyota Land Cruiser in 1951 which looked like a Jeep. 1952 Nissan built a Patrol that looked similar to the Toyota and Willys Jeep.
