I drive my discovery because I bloody well want to!!!! It does everything I want it to do, and I'm sure that there are other 4x4s out there from other makers that will do it as well, and quite possibly in better comfort!! But I want to drive a discovery!!

And as for the rest of your post, I couldn't agree more!
MrTFWitt:
The way forward....?
I think we should experiment with deposit paid containers that are returned directly to the manufacturer on the same vehicle that delivers from the factory. This might work for bulky items like Lemonade or Cola-Coka.
For daily delivery of fresh milk how about the supplier managing 100% reusable packaging and running a near silent fleet of electric powered vehicles to do doorstep delivery ?
Oh, hang on, we tried that already and declared it old hat :roll:
In the meantime Enviro-terro... Sorry, I actually meant to say activists are using the old rattle tins to fund a Flaming navy to cruise round the world and do Eco-Stuff
And another thing, Prious and that other thing with "400bhp" seem to be two seaters.
My People carrier has seven seats but to get seven people from A to B would require 4 Priousesess (No idea what the collective term is).
A veg oil burning 110 fully loaded has even more space but still only takes up one space at the far end of its journey.
When somebody presents me with a new bit of technology that does what I want from todays cars at the same price I'll happily adopt it.
But as long as I'm on the brunt of taxation AND asked to pay more to get less from a vehicle then I'll stick with what I have.
Now back to the Thread topic USELESS FACTS
I have a little book of them as a christmas pressie.
Miami Vice
The Ferrari in the first series was actually a kit car/replica based on a Chevrolet Corvette.
Aston Martin
The concept show car for the V8 Vantage was built in Mumbai
Batteries
The lead acid battery was first invented in 1859.
The AA gets called out to 1650 flat batteries every day
Jet Power
Rover built the first car to be powered by a jet engine
Hydrogen power
in 1935 Henry Garrett demonstrated a car that could synthesise Hydrogen from water and performed several test runs for the media.

Many of you seem to think the Rangerover with a lumpy old diesel running on veg is the place to be ...
Nothing wrong with Captain Caveman technology - my mate Ned Ludd thinks so too :lol:
Naming no names, but a showroom full of old rangerovers with reused daihatsu motors running like smokey old tubs on veg oil would NOT win the current auto buying market over ...
Ned says he would buy one :lol:
Something we haven't slated yet is depreciation.
The most my Rangie could depreciate is 100% - about a grand.
The same as your Prius will lose as soon as you drive it off the forecourt.
So there !
