So there we have it. 2nd gens are for men, 3rd are for women.

Don't you mean that 3rd's are school run taxis

I have a 3rd gen which I use for work and as a family car,10/10 on both counts,and no I'm not an effing hairdresser or a bird,I am a self employed Drystone Walling Contractor.I like the look of both the 2nd and 3rd gens,but marginally prefer the 3rd gen on looks and practicallity(better 4wd system,up and over tailgate,abs as standard,nicer engine,more room,better equipped).A perfect all rounder and probably the best off-roader I have ever owned.

That's me with my naughty face on then.

My door's the black one with a big number 10 on it and a policeman stood outside.

Presumably, the REALLY light blue that comes as standard on the Larry Grayson special edition.

THATS THE ONE

School taxi it maybe, but at least it will get the kids home without overheating

Aside from the looks, and purely from an engineering /mechanical perspective is there a marked difference between the 2nd generation and the more modern 3rd generation? Cat and pigeons springs to mind.


Cheers.......Johnny

Anyway should be a clear choice now............a NORTHERN BLUE 3RD GEN NOT a southern tractor

[Woodzie]
