I'm employed as a shepherd on a large estate in Scotland,I have Driven Land rovers all my life , the first one I remember & the one I learnt to drive in at the age of 9 was a petrol series 1, since then I have driven on all sorts of terrain,in all weathers,have had a few jap trucks,& on the whole they are fairly good,but nothing beats the LR for durability, PS married with kids.
Building things from wood,you name it I'll build it
