It has rarely been my priviledge to read such educated, thoughtful and well put comments as i have read on this thread.
Not only about our equipment and it's capabilities in comparison to others, but
also about me, and i must say, i whole heartedly agree with all of it. My warmest thanks to all contributors.
I can certainly be quite arrogant, i am definately very self opinionated, and have an extremely high belief in myself and my capabilities and knowledge. As mentioned, I really do not suffer fools or lazy folk at all and i certainly do not mince or sugar coat my words.
I respect that these are not exactly the best attributes to be some PR or sales guy and i can only apologise to those it offends.
However, before considering such personal attributes to be without merit, please consider how much of an absolute necessity they are and how much anyone must ultimately have them if they are to even consider undertaking what did, much less achieve what i have.
Back in 1996 when even the first P38 was still in warranty, all there was was Land Rover dealers and their TestBook. You could not even look at one unless you owned a franchise and having one, was regarded as a license to print money. Every indication was that they intended to monopolise and capitalise on that situation as much as possible, fleecing and holding to ransom every single Land Rover owner for as much and as long as they could, and despite legislation trying to intervene and stop that, they simply side stepped it and are still trying as best they can today.
Quite arrogantly, armed with nothing more than what you all have, ie a Computer and a P38, i decided to single handedly take them on, with all their
technological might and their masses of money, to not only stop them, but to actually beat them at their own game. Believe it or not, that took some doing, even for me.
