G'day All, Yes just about everyone has knocked the Land Rover in some form or other (toyota tried to steal Snowy Mts fame from them, in fact the Land Rovers dragged em around), I don't own a Blitz or any WW2 vehicles but I do have my own fleet of restored ex-military Land Rovers (link to sie if anyone's interested, the website is out of date as to my restorations
http://www.remlr.com/dmshed.html) and in my opinion they are a very robust vehicle. I did get a chap once to drive one home from a show and all he did was whinge about how slow it was compared to his jeep (ww2 variety) until I reminded him that his jeep was not a true representation of what it was, I went on to say 'Thanks for driving it home' but your jeep is a hot rod i.e. 250 falcon engine x flow head 5 speed g/box stainless steel body 4 wheel discs and the list goes on, and I also told him that my Land Rovers would outrun his jeep if it were presented as it was made he got very red in the face and left. Every vehicle ever made is going to have mechanical failure at some point doesnt matter what it is, and even the best restored vehicles are still subject to mechanicla failures you onl;y have to read posts re the Back 2 the track and attend any of the events at Corowa to see the odd mech/failure (mine included) anyway rant over and I dont take anything seriously that said by tv presenters as they are in their own little world far removed from ours anyway looking forward to Corowa 07 and seeing someone ride KW's bike out to the airport and back cheers Dennis
Waiting for the flak
