The philosophical 2018 Land Rover Series VI / Defender / 'Icon'...

[MrLandy]

Dear Pat and all other true believers...

The mythical 2018 Land Rover Series VI / Defender / 'Icon' might yet shift paradigms...

"The root of the verb 'rove' is said to be obscure . As obscure, in fact, as that of the French verb rever (to dream), which originally meant the same : to rove. Now, if darkness is that which may contain anything, including knowledge , it also enables humans to dream ; and since Plato says in the Timaios that the place (chora) of relative being (genesis) is like a dream, I shall suppose that the knowledge of it, also, is like a dream, and I shall let the Land Rover drive me there." Augustin Berque.

..to 'Rove' is to find, not to seek. This is the antithesis of the dominant modern-world approach. ...Perhaps we are learning patience and this is the truly enlightened wisdom from LR in not rushing to conclusion about the next series/defender/icon vehicle? Is it too much to ask? ...A revolutionary slowing of modernity, in the face of instant gratification! Could it be? That an awesome new icon takes time!! Now that would be definitive!

Cheers...

I'm that close to buying a cruiser it makes me sick.. Bid on a 2002 4.2td patrol ute last week.. The lads at work are worried I've lost my marbles, as non Landy blokes, they have come to love them as company Utes..I hope the new defenders win me over Mr Landy!!

A bloke I work with just sold his 79 series and bought a Ranger,he told me this morning he'd catch a bus before owning another one,most costly POS he's ever owned. Pat

[Cammo]

The 79 or the ranger?

Yeah me too Summitt, I hate driving Toyotas, have done for years for work. Bad for your back, bad for your wallet, bad for intended purpose both on and off road. Would never buy one myself.
