lots of people love Landrovers.

i find the handbrake's in a daft place and they're uncomfortable.

now, is someone from a landrover forum gonna come and tell me i'm talking utter tosh?

Course not. That's the beauty of Landy owners. They know their machines are quirky. The Series/Defenders are good offroaders though.

Probably.

What's your point though?

Probably.

Oh, oh... Matt! We didn't say the same thing... Something bad must have happened in the space-time continuum?

some people like certain cars, some hate them.
doesn't make a person wrong for calling a surf a lemon!
i think citroen 2cv's are lemons, but others absolutely love them.

can't see where the "utter tosh" was in the unbiased information??

They weren't using facts to back up their opinions on the truck's capabilities. So they were wrong, very wrong.

I personally like 2CVs (no apostrophe by the way) they do exactly what they were designed to do, so it's not easy to fault them; unless you try do what they're not designed to do, then they will be crap.

Can't see where I said "utter tosh", so I don't understand why you quoted me there.

First example. Is this an unbiased or even slightly accurate description?

lemons mate has one and its always in the work shop.shit off road and motor is always up the shit

No. It is not. It is nothing more than personal opinion and/or experience. That has no relation to truth in the overall context of the thread, (or in any context outside of personal opinion and experience, for that matter). Thereby, the fact that I merely used the word tosh was rather polite in itself.

They were quoting me.

there's no better review than a personal experience!

[Albannach]

They were quoting me.

But quoted a bit of one of my posts.

I'm classing this as nothing more than a windup from now on, which is exactly what it appears to be. Personal experience is exactly that and nothing more. One never makes a sweeping statement when working from experience of a single instance. Pure and simple.

there is a good thresd on delivery women though!

the motor factor round my way only has female drivers. never really thought about it before!

D'oh!

Funnily enough, had someone doing the exact same thing to me just yesterday/today.

Exactly

It's a bit like me saying all Bentlys are shit because a mate of mine had one that broke down, then fell off the transporter that was taking it to be repaired and lastly caught fire in the garage. (True statement by the way!)
