Although I wasn't going to get involved in this debate I have to leap to Mudlarks defence slightly on this one.

The vehicle pictured above is hardly what you would call a novice/standard vehicle. Surely a more balanced argument would be can a standard Shogun/Pajero go everywhere a standard LR can go :?: and from what i've seen the answer would be yes. ergo a Shogun or Pajero modified to the same standard of a modified LR would also be equally up to the job. The big advantage of LR over jap is the availability of off the shelf bits to modify them in this country (how many off road modified Shogun/Pajeros have you seen lately :?: ) which will always give the impression that LR's are a more capable off road tool.
Personally I picked my SWB Pajero because it was much cheaper than a 90 (SWB, Diesel, £1000 all in with some secondhand All Terrains :shock:) and bang for bucks i can have just as much fun in it :wink: i'm not actually bias either way, I trial a Suzuki SJ simply because I don't care if it gets a few dents (although I have trialed the Pajero on occasions :twisted: ) But would happily own a LR if one came my way, I very nearly bought a Disco as my work vehicle but it didn't have quite enough length in the back for what i wanted (hence the Delica :wink: )

Thank you Red for your support - I find the best thing is to let the Landie set talk themselves into the ground, it's no good trying to tell them, they are just too set in their ways (very much like sheep I suppose).
Don't worry when I get out there and thrash them they'll have a bit more respect for the humble Shoggie - I doubt if they'll see any more sense though :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
