Thread: Won’t be retro...

🤤

Comparing the numbers

For the cost of one La Voiture Noire, you could buy approximately:

11 Ferrari Monzas
850 Mitsubishi Tritons
1,700 Suzuki Swifts
24.5 houses in Sydney (based on average price)
1.9 million smashed avo on toasts


Though Mr Winkelmann described it as "the ideal grand tourer", the boot space is likely to be only about 44 litres, about the size of a medium backpack.

Yes becoming, depends who LR are targeting as competition, Patrol and Gwagon still 3 years. In Australia warrantys are not needed, extended warranties are a false industry, Consumer guarantee covers everyone to ensure a product should last its expected lifetime for free.

It hurt a bit 'cos I paid 45,000 when new in '95. I must have needed a bloody good shrink. 12 month Warranty.

Tdi was 2 grand extra, two more doors 2 grand, & air bags, yep you guessed it, another 2 grand. so I didn't choose any of that stuff.

My new Mazda CX-3 Maxx Sport has got 5 years Warrany & cost half as much as then, but I reckon she'll be a bit **** offroad.

Im sure you would agree, Just because they are cheap to buy secondhand, it doesn't make them any less of an awesome car.

One of the best cars in the world to build a hardcore weekend 4x4 from, with almost zero base car cost. Fairly utilitarian interior,light, reliable diesel, flex, coils, disks, comfort. D2 is up there too..my pick is the classic rangie cuz I'm a sucker for their looks

I bought an 89 for 16k back in the day and got 4k for it when selling after the usual upgrade mods, boy did i get some value out of that investment, great truck!

Infact the one its closest to is the oldest imo in terms of layout, of course with modern tech added.

so something like this then ?
