    Default Just begging for a wisecrack . . .

    Rovers North emailed me their holiday specials, which included a multitool that incorporates a flashlight:




    A Land Rover multi-tool with an electrical component? Hmm . . .

    It's a bizzare world. If LRs were so bad no one would want them! Yet half the people on this list would give their left nut for a Defender 110/130. I have the inappropriate urge to make a sexist comparison (sorry ladies, I'm not usually led to these things); Land Rovers are like Bond girls (or super models): really sexy, very good for what you want them for, but unlikely to last for very long. Everything else is like all the other girls: I'll leave you to make the comparison.

    Now just imagine you had a bond girl (super model) who did last the long run. That is the Land Rover we are all looking for. And they are out there, but they require a lot of work and caring for, just as you might expect. A lot of time and expense and worry, but DAMN are they worth it!



    cheers

    Good point, I worked on many european vehicles (years ago). Once you get past the infamous Lucas electronics and jokes, LRs are'nt so bad. I havent worked on a LR in over 18 years though, is Lucas still around?


    What i really want to know is, what's the tool with the hole in the end of it?
