Yes, Ouch!!
looks to me like it was one of those H2's, the small version of the normal
hummer which doesn't quite cost the $100k they say on the site, but is
nevertheless still a heap of ****.

Mind, I've always fancied a Unimog.
Meanwhile... Disco front seat frames are utter crap.
Just been mending mine for the second time - if ICBA I'd pull it out and
rebuild the offending bit with stronger materials.

Yeah, me too - but they're totally impractical in every sense save
serious offroading (and, ahem, I've actually had to unplug a moggie in

A 101 has the benefit of being compact, yet powerful - and you can get
into one without a ladder...

Aren't they just! I thought it may be summat to do with the, erm,

So, we have a knackered frame that usually supports Austin.
Another one which normally holds up Martyn
Another one which has spent 40,000 miles propping up little old me.
Yes, must be a design flaw. It's the only possible explanation.
Unless...

isn't really worth the risk of tinyurling is it?
Notwithstanding, the rear entry to this is actually lower than the
entry to the passenger or driver doors. The ladder here being more of
a convenience.

But if I didn't tinyurl there would be a good chance that you would know
what photo I was referring to without much guessing, BTW, if you look at
the photo again there are the shadows of three people, I hate to guess what
the one on the right as viewed is up to (^-^)

How does that old saying go ?
A Unimog for necessity, a Landie for Pleasure but a Scammell Explorer for
choice.
Or maybe not, I just made it up, but I would just love the impracticability
of a Scammell to annoy people who get impatient with me.

I mot'ed a Pinzgauer 6x6 last night and I must say " I gotta get me one of them"
It wouldn't work the brake test machine properly so I had to take it out on the road
like you do I was very impressed
It's been done for Red Bull with a disco in the back (not LR disco)

Not many squaddies would agree. If I had a quid for every ex or

the Tonnie and how crap the Pinzy is, I could afford to go buy a round
of drinks that'd even satisfy the likes of Wayne Davies...

but I stand (or sit, as the case may be) by what I say: the seat frame,
from the rails to the tubular bit that supports the springs, is made of
inferior and cheap-looking material and is prone to fail, partly due to that
and partly due to the design, which creates a high-stress point which ain't
