You'r all talking bollocks, well some of you anyway.
The manufacturers, call them Ford, Land Landrover BMW it doesn't matter, they will build whatever makes a profit. A vehicle that the minority, i.e. me and you, Think is brilliant, i.e the Defender, 90, 110, Series, etc. Is not a going concern, the majority doesn't want it.
Look back at the Meridan Triumph, what a load of bollocks. People were sending money to them, "I GAVE BLOOD TO TRIUMPH". What for, to keep a design going that should have died a decade before.
How many of you can say "My Defender, or whatever, is up there in the competetive market" and keep a straight face.
Any old how I'm talking like them down the bottom off the page, I think I'll go for a smoke.
