You guys are an absolute cack, Hi all I have not laughed so hard in years.
I have done British parts and japanese parts for many years and believe me if you want tears by a british car even the "new" model landrovers are based on a design ripped off from the ww2 jeep and fifty odd years later still can not get it right.
My dad and uncle sold 1200's when they were new and 30 odd years later still reckon they were fantastic little cars and I have owned about ten over the years and the scope of improvements from the original design are endless.
And the crocodile hunter lives about an hour north of me and most Auzzies think he is a wanker and definately not a true auzzie bloke and when he get's his head bitten of most of us will say thank christ
All the best

the croc hunter is a legend mate! at least hes doing something worthwhile for animals, im heading down the same path, i respect what he does. Just coz he doesnt get pissed every day of the week like a true yobbo doesnt mean he aint a true aussie.

On the landrover freelander these cars are shocking the fuel lines are made of a tough plastic they cant even be held together with a screw cable tie, these cars have many flaws, i think they are made by the range rover company as well, english cars are a joke from what ive heard and seen.

Landrover used the bushtucker man in there adds and one of his quotes wa if you want to get you will need a LandRover believe me if you want to get back you will need a tilt tray, nothing personal to each there own I would never buy one simply from my experience working at a Landrover dealerhip

yeah i am talking about looks in escort because after the mk1s the escort went boxy, and they put that square grill on the fron t

most of the escorts had good engines like the mk1 R2000 with the lotus twin cam im pretty sure anyway. ( i think the mexcio had that engine to)

Ah not quite..the RS2000 had the 2 litre ohc engine. The Lotus Escort was 1600cc twin cam. Funny thing about the "boxy styling" many people mistake my coupes for Mk 2 Escorts.....
