    Why ?

    Why do we hang around Land Rovers when most who have troubles with their vehicle give up the ghost and go buy another brand?

    I know why - they look great - they drive like a dream - they do almost anything - they are versatile - they attract people with like minds (i.e. intelligent people) - they are economical (well the TD5 is).

    one of the attractions for me (Defender owner) is the way I'm happy to drill holes and bolt stuff in or on the defender anywhere I see fit.
    Just couldn't do it to another car!

    I love them 'cos the Army use them, and there is a reason they use them!

    Land Rovers are built for a purpose, and serve that purpose tremendously without having to spend thousands of dollars on mods, as you do with all other brands.

    I would presume that with a statement like this you had nothing to do with either JRA or the Perentie Selection Process
    I had colleagues working for the Govt at that time and they really didnt have any competition.
