porcupines don't stop when it rains ? :think:

...or nothing, both are full of pricks ? :lol:

PS - I actually have nothing against Land Rovers or their owners...I'd help out a stuck Landy...and then post the vid on the internet, of course !

cheers,

Landrovers have the pricks on the inside. As a former Landrover owner, I know this is fact.

BTW, how do you know when your Landrover is out of oil?

My 78 was awful. I spent a day with Johan Strauss, the most famous LR mechanic in the world a couple of years ago. His expertise driving his 62 on side hills of his desert canyon ranch was mind boggling.

The complete story is in Hunting Namibia on Amazon. I very well may go back in 2018.

I will say that I have had a much more pleasureful experience dealing with Patrolers (Patrolees?) than some other car groups. Some can be very insular. Perhaps we are more desperate because there are less of us.
