off road ready
hairyasswelder:
my avatar is out of date now :doh:
The rangie now wears insa turbo's tubular bumpers 2" susp lift, 2" body lift. etc,
The point I was making was the sales patter, its a Landy, designed to go off road and bolting a few bits on doesnt make it worth a fortune if the chassis and bulkhead are rotten :roll:
Maybe i was looking in the wrong place but......

I know what you mean.
But I wonder what is the percentage of people who do drive these type of vehicles, who only manage to park half way on a kerb, I really dont like new cars, I prefer older, buckets of bolts motoring, putting me behind something like a sports car would be a complete waste of machine, plus I probably would not get my behind in the flaming seat! :oops:
At the end of the day nearly all these dealers want to do is sell the vehicle and make as much as possible
Off roaders, soft roaders, and ohh its raining maybe I should not take it out roaders :)
I would love to take a off road ready motor on a test drive with the salesman round some medium lanes :twisted:

Such a waste

That's the equivalent of 'mint' or 'looks like it's just out of the factory' with every other car. Over used phrases in advertising cars. Caveat emptor, me thinks :roll:

Yeah, but when a LR owner says"off road" he means in the brown sticky stuf, not "off road" as in broken down with an exploded engine ;)
