Baghdadnights 150 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Sorry boys I just love getting Landy boys biting. Truth be told all the landys I've pulled out have been owned by newbies that have no idea how to drive offroad or they've been scared of scratching there pride and joy. I personally won't owned a Landy purely because I like to turn up in something different and watch them all eat there words when whatever I'm in never gets stuck. I've had Daihatsu f50 soft top followed by a F75 early fourtrak Suzuki sj and vitaras lada niva and Cossack with a 2.0 twink engine front eras lwb and short Toyota land cruiser and Hilux that was useless unless it had half ton of mud in the back Isuzu troopers. All been great trucks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
