panda 4x4 all the way,
defenders suck chap stick

[Austin.J]

haha brilliant, 1.3 samurai would of been better though :D

[General Baxter]

i dont know, 400LB in second gear, low range, locked transfer case, front and rear locked diffs, and i just about make it lol

[burgo]

to be fair there tyres dont exactly look upto scratch

[General Baxter]

they are 'off road; tyres they have just slicked up lol

[mikey14sr]

They have a habit of snapping half-shafts too, fragile hunks of metal they are. Quite a few of the frontera boys have had to pull landies out too, You need one of those "attach your broken land rover here" stickers baxter!

[RSTChris]

Land Rovers are the best 4x4, simple as.

Fair enough they dont come with lockable front and rear diffs which is their only downfall!

Fair play, them jap things do work well but hardly a comparsion!

mine dint come with lockers, iv added them, but the defender, you go 50mph down the motorway and it shakes its self to bits,

the doors tattle, they move that far out can not even do the windows up, the roof flexies, they leak in a small rain shower, the list goes on and on lol

im thinking of buying one, so i can have a challange off the road lol

[RSTChris]

I know what ya sayin pal, i agree but they are quality vehicles!

[John]

My vote is also for the landy, my father-in-laws 200 tdi series one is a beast off road.

[chris gsi]

i have a soft spot for landrover might have something to do with working for them for 4years :)

i'd always take a defender 110 (crew cap pick up, please!),

but does anyone remember jeremy clarksons motorworld (repeats on Dave atm) wher in australia he reckons youd be mad to take anything other than the nissan patrol?

[poultergeist]

Suzuki SJ's all the way,Defenders are pony off road

[Asa-James]

but arnet suzukis a bit, well, girly? my cuz used to roll in a vitara 4u2, light blue with a white soft top...

it was the TOYOTA!!!!!! nothing else measured up.......


the Land rover is like the mini cooper (new), there is more style than substance, but with some work, they can work well......

my std double cab L200 (old model) has locking diffs, fat tyres, comfy seats, you don't need to open the door to see when reversing, & it does about 100mph without collapsing into a heap whilst deafening you

Vitara's are either for queers or hairdressers (or both!)
Whereas the SJ's are a small, cheap, genuine off roader with good ground clearance :thumb:

and a vitara on decent suspension & tyres is actually a very good off roader.. they are quite cheap, & sj's are getting scarcer

[burgo]

landys were never designed for motorways!! it like taking a fooking mondeo off road. it doesnt work

[Stuart]

Ive done 110mph in a Defender....... its amazing how 2.5Tons can go LIGHT!!! lol

tranny powered defenders are great :D

[RSTChris]

I had the tuned TD5 Landy, awesome torque but abit too much off road, my mates 2.25 diesel chugs up everything lol
