Egad Sir! Compared to the Sinclair that is fire breathing, snorting muscle car!

Yeah these had a good rep, if you’re looking for a leaf sprung utility off roader in the Land-Rover Series mould then this is considered a solid choice as it it had a reliable and common diesel (unlike Series Land-Rovers) and other components. Farm wagon.

Bonnie the springer spaniel trying to squeeze through the window, barely visible in the back Scooby the lurcher and Dilly the Beagle/Foxhound cross in the back with Manuka my old Labrador. Had I opened the doors for a better pic they’d have just exploded out in all directions.

On the plus side he’ll be hung like a horse.

“Cat and coffee pot not included”!!! This is an outrage!!!! I has been misled. ... Still, rubber duckies though.

One wouldn’t want to take his job away now would one? One likes to have James around, it’s lonely at the top.

Mind you the unions at BL were pretty shite too, they were more interested in provoking the collapse of the state than making cars. The recently deceased Derek Robinson is a case in point, he wasn’t called “Red Robbo” because he worked in the paint shop.

So... Is it the batteries that make Teslas so expensive then?

That’s why I stopped driving artics (18 wheelers), at least in Europe and the UK there’s an assumption that you’ll drive through the night. And my body has an assumption that it’ll start going to sleep about 3am at the latest, no I was never a party hard kind of guy why do you ask?

Meh. Not because I’m British but because this seems less relevant to cars more to the fact that Putin will probably use this to claw Ukraine back into the Russian sphere of influence.

No they have coil sprung live axles front and rear, they’re massively agile off road. Probably as good an off road car as you can find.

It really is the modern equivalent of a WW2 Willys, 80" wheelbase and all.

Come on guys! You’re Americans, you have guns! The solution is simple: put it at the end of a firing range and shoot holes in it.

Sounds like you guys have been bitten even harder by the “elfen safety” bug than us in Britain.

BTW, England is not the entirety of the UK.

Sounds good, but tbh the biggest difference was made when MaccyD’s went over to biodegradable packaging.

Yeah, sorry to break it to you but a Defender is not a refined driving experience. Unless your daily driver is from before the 1950s.

“Tasty lizards” and “Is hearing voices a sign of PTSD?”.

I know whereof what you speak Mr Tracy.

As a Brit who’s never visited you might say I don’t have a dog in this fight. Yet I feel I do, I love what The USA stands for and don’t want to see it wound and weaken itself so.
