Dominic Littlewood looks like the sort of chap who'd feel right at home at a Combat 18 rally.

Guarded by Terry McCann.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

They rent, mostly Transit and Hilux. I worked there until retiring; no one would willingly drive a “Rover” as they were always called. Apart from anything else, there is no useful space for carrying anything. Too slow where there are roads, unable to keep up with the heavy kit where there are no roads. Scores of them just standing rotting.

Re: Land Rover Name Killed Off By JLR
The rented fleet aren’t allowed to go off road so where I work we are still using the Defenders but they’re 25 years old now and showing it. I don’t think there is any replacement imminent.Asimo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:28 pmWarren t claim wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 6:40 pm What does the MOD buy now that the classic Defender is no more?

Ironically Land Rover Owner International magazine is no more after the current issue.

Is that the "Landie" magazine?

Didn't know they existed. Thought the 4 in 340 meant four door? So what does the 6 mean?

343 2door hatch

Obviously they still pretend a hatch Iis a door
