tillylamp 1,839 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 thats the best bit of news ive heard, they were the biggest pile of shit ive ever driven, you would have thought after 50 odd years of making them they could of got right, but no, they still continued to make more shit, there over rated, over priced and hideous to drive, god knows how they kept there prestigious status, i had to move a customers 54 reg defender out the way once and it was the most uncomfortable, hideous, cramped thing i have ever been in, ive worked for people who were stupid enough to buy a new one and the amount of trouble they have had is so unreal its not even funny, one was a brand new defender crew cab which had the foot wells fill with water, another was a brand new range rover evogue, gear box went after 13,000 miles, the list goes on, when people say there the best off roader, and the best towing 4x4, what about the other 75% of driving your doing in discomfort, i had a 1993 toyota surf 3.0td for years that knocks spots of a poxy land rover in every way, and as for towing get a toyota landcruiser, no 4x4 vehicle will tow as good as the cruiser, you need your head tested to have a land rover. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 46,444 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 What other vehicles would you reccomend for dragging 2 1/2 tonne round bad tracks?I got a 26 yr old fourtrak,pull a house down,every single thing works on it,and don't need to carry around a f***ing tool chest lol,just had 17 k compo after nasty car crash and I wont be upgrading,certainly not to a landrover,enjoy pissing past them silly f***ing green laners when they broke dwn,I watched lads pump untold in to thier landys only to write the fuckers off next time out,they more a fashion statement like the clowns on the vw scene imo,I laugh at them fools with the air cooled engines getting towed to the shows when I clutch past them in my scooby powered bus lol,jap power all the way for me,but each to thier own.atb dc 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
